A recent report shows that Glenfiddich whisky is the oldest, rarest and one of the most expensive whisky available on planet earth. This whisky first came out of the distillery in 1887. But here we are talking about Glenfiddich rare collection 1937 by William Grant, a recent report says that Myburgh Brothers have an acquisition of a complete range of the only whisky to have been distilled, matured and bottled at its own distillery. As per Andries Kruger, a representative of the official distributor for Glenfiddich in South Africa:
It was distilled in 1937 and bottled in 2001, making it, with 64 years of maturation, by far the oldest whisky available on the planet. Because of the age and the rarity, only 61 bottles were left in 2001. The price is extraordinary. The fixed price worldwide is £16 500 (R181 500), but in auctions prices up to £20 000 (R220 000) are paid a bottle.
An enormous $34,845.98, as auction price, for the oldest whisky in the world and imagine the reason well this is not the only reason for the best-selling single malt Scotch whisky in the world, but the reason is quite valid – it is rare. As per As per Andries:
Only three restaurants in the world have a bottle. And this is the only one in South Africa.
Well another reason it is rare is the period of maturity, in which most of the whisky got evaporated leaving only 61 bottles and a mind blowing 44 percent alcohol. You can get the bottle only via auction and if you wanna try with Myburgh Brothers, Manny Myburgh would say:
For now, it is not for sale. Only if you want to buy at least 10 measures for R60 000 a tot will we consider coming to your party.
