nalioth 405 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Glenfiddich 50-Year-Old Scotch by Deidre Woollard Jul 31st 2009 at 11:02AM Another very expensive whisky has hit the market. William Grant & Sons Distillers Ltd. have released a 50-year aged version of Glenfiddich that will sell for $16,000. The Glenfiddich 50 Year Old will be limited to 500 individually numbered, hand-blown glass bottles with decoration in Scottish silver. The bottles will be packaged in leather-bound cases, each accompanied by a book and a signed certificate. In order to qualify as a 50-year-old whisky it must sit in its barrel unmixed with any other malt for the entire time. Some of the liquor evaporates over time (the "angel's share") making aging particularly challenging. Getting your hands on this well-aged treat will be no easy task. The 50- year will be distributed in 50-bottle lots over 10 years. The botlles will first be sold in selected airports and then be sold to a small number of retailers. Original article So I guess that'd make it around $500 bucks a shot . . . Bottoms up P.S. Aren't editors supposed to be paid to proofread these articles? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
