Would you like to taste a little of what is called Scotland’s liquid history? Well, queue on up at your local liquor store and get your hands on Gordon and MacPhail’s Generations, the world’s oldest whisky. Retailing for a mere £10,000, there will be 54 full-sized bottles will be available, while 162 of the £2,500 smaller bottles will be available for purchase. Each bottle is hand-blown crystal, with a silver stopper in the top. The whisky itself was aged in a former sherry barrel made with Spanish oak.
The Mortlach 70-Year-Old Speyside is the oldest whisky ever bottled for sale, and is, supposedly, very tasty (and very expensive, naturally). It was bottled by David and Michael Urquhart, the grandsons of John Urquhart, the guy who ordered the whisky casked on October 15, 1938. The grandsons said, “Our family has been in the whisky business for a long time, with each generation building and handing on a lifetime’s expertise to the next. We believe Mortlach 70 Years Old is a malt without comparison.”
