Scotch Whisky Found In 800-Year-Old Castle To Be Sold At Auction

Late last year, a hidden trove of whisky was discovered in a cellar room deep within a 13th century Scottish castle. The liquid was subsequently tested and determined to have been distilled back in 1833, making it the oldest known scotch in existence. Now two dozen bottles of it are going under the hammer in a November auction. Here’s how to get your hands on the priceless treasure.

Well, it’s not priceless, exactly. When it goes up for sale at Whisky Auctioneer between November 24th and December 4th, each bottle is expected to nab roughly £10,000. It doesn’t seem like an exorbitant sum when you consider that rare Macallan bottlings from the mid-1900s have been getting 10 times that amount lately.
