A Bottle of Glenfiddich 50-Year-Old to Go on Sale at Bonhams Auction House in Edinburgh on October 7, Estimated to Sell for Between $25,000 - $35,000 AUD

Bottled in 1991, it has a special place in the history of the Grant family, distillers of Glenfiddich, which founded the company in the 1880s. It comes from a batch of nine casks laid down in the 1930s – one for each of the William Grant’s nine children, who helped him build the Glenfiddich Distillery. Once the whisky had been blended, it was returned to the cask for a year before being bottled in a limited edition of 500 of which this is number 184. Bonhams whisky specialist, Martin Green, said: “This is one of the most desirable Glenfiddichs – or, indeed of any Scotch whisky –  and is keenly sought after by collectors for its exceptional quality and rarity.”
