Oldest Islay Whisky Ever Made and Possibly Most Expensive

[Dyslexic traveler]

What is the most you have ever spent on one bottle of Booz. I have payed $2500 for a bottle of 1953 whisky, it was in Christchurch at the whisky shop sad to say the shop is no more but, I still have the whisky.

I also spend far to much on Grand Cru Burgundy's just ask she who must be obeyed.

I'm not sure about oldest but I read about this in the Wish Magazine that comes with The Australian.

Try £100,000 (excluding UK VAT). Made especially for the Queen to mark her 60th anniversary.

Apparently it tastes different to Johnnie Walker Red

There should be one comming to Sydney Duty Free, if it has not arrived yet. A$250,000 and they expect to sell it!!
Has its own special case. a whole lot of cash for some funny tasting brown water, but the gold in it look cool. :mrgreen:

And if buying it inbound to Australia, would you need to pay duty/tax on it (over the $900 limit) or does the limit not apply to alcohol so long as its less than 2.25 litres?
