Glenlivet 70 year old, an extraordinary single malt that was launched in March 2011 with a price tag of £13,000 a bottle, has been described by critics as "stupendous", and was one of just two 70 year old single malt whiskies ever released.
Distilled at the Glenlivet distillery on the 4th February 1940 during the height of the Battle of Britain, the spirit was filled into a Sherry cask, where it rested for the last seventy years. The angels took so much as their share, there was only enough liquid for 100 full-sized decanter bottles - adding to its rarity.
The whisky was bottled in 2011 by Gordon and MacPhail, and it is the second part of their "Generations" series, the first of which was the world's oldest whisky, a 70 year old single malt from the Mortlach distillery.
This tiny vial was part of the presentation pack that was handed out to journalists and dignitaries who attended the launch.
Bottled with at a strength of 45.9% abv Comes with book and USB stick telling the story of this famous dram.
