At a famous auction house in London last week, a 62-year-old malt whisky defied expectations as it sets a new record as the most expensive bottle of whisky sold by Christie’s. Named The Kildermorie, derived from the distillery’s water source, the 62-year-old Dalmore was sold at £114,000 doubling its pre-sale estimate of £40,000 to £60,000.
The head of Christie’s wine department, Christopher Munro said that the price paid for the bottle of whisky was “astonishing”, noting that it was the highest price paid for a bottle of whisky at the said auction house.
