When was the last time you had whiskey
(http://www.mensxp.com/entertainment/celeb-trends/22347-12-celeb-
whiskey-drinkers-that-will-make-you-a-convert.html) and how much did
you pay for your last drink? Definitely not a crore, right? Agreed that this
particular liquor is not generally known for its affordability, but every one
of us can manage to grab a sip or two every now and then. To sip a glass
of whiskey at the end of a long, tiring day is probably the greatest
pleasure of the world for every man. But, in order to get the pleasure of tasting these 10 whiskies, you probably would have to sell your kidney or
even more. Here are 10 most expensive whiskies of the world.

Yes! As Phoebe would say, ‘that’s math I can’t even do.’ Priced at an
exorbitant Rs 3.9 Crore, this whiskey was actually sold at an auction for$628,205 in Hong Kong. So, what makes this the most expensive
whiskey in the world? Mostly because it’s a rare find, also because its
bottle is decadent. Its faceted crystal decanter of The Macallan Imperiale
"M" is 28 inches tall and holds close to 6 liters of whiskey, which is the
same volume as 3 big soda bottles.
2) Macallan 1946
Price $460,000
Before Macallan M, the world record for being the most expensive
whiskey (http://www.mensxp.com/health/live-healthy/8751-health-
benefits-of-whiskey.html) was held by another 44-year-old Macallan

scotch that was auctioned for $460,000 in New York. The bottle that
holds the drink is a LaliqueCire Perdue decanter which is exquisite in
every sense. To many a whiskey enthusiast, this Macallan is also is one
of the greatest Macallans ever released, where the liquor is made of
peated malt due to the high post-war (World War 2) prices of coal.
3) Glenfiddich Janet Sheed Roberts Reserve1955
Price $94,000

This rare bottle of 55-year-old is actually Glenfiddich’s way of commemorating and celebrating Janet Sheed’s (Granddaughter of
Glenfiddich’s founder William Grant) unique contribution to the history of
its legacy as well as her 110th birthday. They had a barrel of Scotch
whiskey that has been maturing since New Year’s Eve of 1955. When
Janet passed away, the company decided to honour her by making 15
bottles from the said barrel. Four were kept by the family while the rest
were auctioned off. A whiskey connoisseur bought one of them for
$94,000.
4) Macallan 1926Price $75,000

This one was distilled in 1926 and bottled in 1986, making it the oldest in
the Fine and Rare collection of Macallan. A rather generous Korean man
is said to have shelled out $75,000 was this Fine and Rare bottle.
Drinking Macallan 1926 will be like a testimony to your masculinity
(http://www.mensxp.com/new-year/new-year-2015/24735-20-
musthave-whiskey-based-cocktails-for-every-new-year-party.html); it’s
dry and concentrated as it’s made of without any water. Only 40 such
bottles were produced.
5) Dalmore 62 Highland Malt Scotch Matheson
Price $58,000

The story here is about the sale of this particular whiskey, and not so
much about it’s delicious taste. Only 12 bottles were produced in 1942,
one of which was sold to a London-based businessman, who apparently
finished it on the spot along with his 5 friends. Also, all the 12 bottles
were given unique names but relevant to the Dalmore Estate. The most
expensive was the Matheson, named after Alexander Matheson, the
owner of the estate and hence the name.
6) Glenfiddich 1937 Rare Collection
Price $20,000

The truth is that ‘rare collection’ doesn’t really do justice in describing
this supremely rich-in-taste whiskey. In fact, it’s also known to be the
oldest bottle of whiskey in the world. It was distilled in 1937 in Scotland,
matured gracefully in between, and the barrel was then opened and the
whiskey was bottled in 2001. It, although, is said to have hints of cedar,
cinnamon, cloves and toffee, but has a very rich walnut colour!
7) Macallan 55-Year-OldPrice $12,500

Macallan 55-Year-Old is known more for its uniquely expensive
receptacle as the name suggests. All it takes is a mere look at this
limited-edition crystal decanter whose design was made by Rene
Laalique who created a similar perfume bottle in 1910. This whiskey was
distilled in a sherry oak barrel and was left to age gracefully for 55 years.
8) Dalmore 50-Year-Old
Price $11,000

This one is a highly sought after best 50-year-old whiskies in the world. It
was produced in a limited edition of 60 crystal bottles, which also
apparently came with a collector’s box. The whiskey was first distilled in
1920 and bottled in 1978.
9) Glenfarclas 1955
Price $10, 878

This one is supposed to be the oldest batch of whiskey ever bottled by
Glenfarclas, the barrel was handpicked in 1955 and then bottled in 2005.
Whiskey connoisseurs from around the world describe its taste as ‘spicy
and silky with a sweet start.’ John Grant bought the Glenfarclas distillery
from Robert Hay in Scotland when it was already been running for 29
years.
10) 1939 MacallanPrice $10,125

Macallan added their 1939 blend to their Fine and Rare collection in
2002. This whiskey was first bottled in 1979 after the company let it aged
for 40 years. It also comes in one of their exquisite Lalique crystal
decanter.
