'Macallan 1926 Fine and Rare' 60-Year-Old Whisky auctioned for one million pounds

At an auction in Scotland, the targeted world record for a bottle of whisky was missed. According to the auction house, the highest bid for the 0.75-litre bottle of "The Macallan 1926 Fine and Rare" was ultimately one million pounds (the equivalent of about 1.16 million euros).

In autumn 2019, a bottling from the same cask had gone under the hammer for just under 1.5 million pounds. The whisky comes from a legendary stock, for enthusiasts it is said to be the "holy grail".
