It s true, whisky improves with age. The older the bottle, the better is the flavour of its complicated mixture. There is something about water, ethanol, and guaiacol that makes whisky one of the most loved liquors. And the addiction of smoky, spicy, peaty flavour is such that when a bottle of 72-year-old Glen Grant 1948 Single Malt Whisky by independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail went for auction, it fetched more than $54,000 Hong Kong Dollars that is over Rs 39 lakhs.
The beautiful warm amber took the centre stage at Bonhams auction in Hong Kong on January 29 as it is the first time that the 1948 Glen Grant whisky, was offered in an auction. The bottle has all the core values of Gordon & McPhail s and is 88 of the 290 exclusive of decanters bottled. The bottle is also especially auspicious, with the number 88 symbolising wealth in Chinese culture, wrote @bonhamswhiskyandwine on Instragram.
IT has attracted visitors from more than 30 countries and helped to cement the area as a go to destination for whisky lovers and last year Spirit of Speyside whisky festival had come of age. With three out of every five tourists coming to Speyside for whisky tourism, there is no doubt the festival has become an iconic event on the international whisky calendar and is now Scotland s biggest whisky festival. However, the event which had been due to take place in the middle of last year’s lockdown and had to be cancelled with organisers hoping they would be able to welcome people back this year.
