World's largest bottle of whiskey sells for R21-million!
Would you like a taste of this whiskey?
How far would you go to get something that is totally unique and happens to be the world's largest of its kind?
Well, for some, it's about owning something that no one else has, the value goes way beyond money.
We guess that this was the case for an international collector who recently purchased the 'World's Largest Bottle of Whiskey'.
The world's largest bottle of whiskey is called, The Intrepid, and was sold for $1.4-million - which is roughly R21-million.
"The bottle, standing 5 feet 11 inches, was given the Guinness World Record in September 2021. It contains 82.16 US gallons, or 311 liters. That's the equivalent of 444 standard bottles -- enough for 5,287 whiskey sours made with 2 ounces of whiskey each." (CNN)
Now that will set you up for quite a few whiskey parties...

The auction house said that "the liquor is a 1989 Macallan single malt that spent 32 years maturing in oak casks at Macallan's Scotland distillery before being bottled in 2021. It is pale gold and has a sweet taste with notes of apple." (CNN)
The interesting part of this is that it is not the most expensive container of whiskey that has ever been sold.
"That honor goes to a 60-year old Macallan sold for $1.53 million in 2018." (CNN)
