An anonymous New Yorker paid $54,000 for a rare bottle of 81-year-old single malt scotch whisky at a crowded Christie’s auction yesterday, making it one of the most expensive bottles of liquor ever sold.
The bottle of Macallan Vintage 1926 was the most anticipated item at the auction, causing a bidding war that pushed the selling price by $24,000 over its estimated value.
“It’s one of the most expensive prices ever for a bottle of whisky anywhere in the world,” said Christie’s spokesman Rick Pike.

I have a full size still full and sealed bottle of whiskey that has a Canadian tax stamp of 1924. It was bottled by Consolidated Distilleries. It was brought to the U.S. during prohibition and given to my Grandparents as a wedding gift. They were not drinkers and stored it away in a closet. Now I have it, Is that something you could sell for me ? If not do you have any suggestions who might be able to sell it for me. I would really appreciate any help you could give me. Thanx J.
