Glenfiddich 1937 single malt whisky goes under the hammer for £25,200
Glenfiddich 1937 single malt whisky goes under the hammer for £25,200
The rare and well-aged Scotch almost reached a world record price at Bonhams on 16th June 2010 following an auction of rare whisky which made over £160,000 with 95% sold by value - with a clear star.
A bottle of Glenfiddich topped the sale at £25,200, in Edinburgh making it one of the most expensive bottles of whisky ever sold at auction - comparable to the world record of £29,400 which was paid in 2007 for a 19th century bottle of Bowmore.
Appearing for the first time at auction, the whisky is described as having a bouquet of "newly dug peat, burnt leather, old books, leather and oak" and the taste of "treacle toffee, crème brûlée and toasted almonds."
A 70cl single malt distilled in 1937, it is one of only 61 bottles produced and was part of a batch of 10 bottles released in 2001. Even the guide price of £15,000-20,000 proved to be an underestimate.

Why the English language is so hard to learn
The bandage was wound around the wound.
The farm was used to produce produce.
The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
There is no time like the present to present the present.
When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
I did not object to the object.
The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
They were too close to the door to close it.
The buck does funny things when the does are present.
A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
After a number of injections my jaw got number.
On seeing the tear in the painting, I shed a tear.
I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
Up!
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word,
and that is "UP."
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list,
but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP?
Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election
and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?
We call UP our friends.
And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers
and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house
and some guys fix UP the old car.
At other times the little word has real special meaning.
People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.
And this UP is confusing:
A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP,
look the word UP in the dictionary.
In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page
and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used.
It will take UP a lot of your time,
but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP.
When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP.
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.
When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP,
for now my time is UP, so............
Time to shut UP.......
