A bottle of 97-year-old booze has been flogged at auction for the eye-watering amount of \u00a32.1million.<\/p>\n

The bottle of Macallan 1926 single malt whisky is now the most expensive wine or spirit ever sold at auction, and was known as the most sought-after in existence. Sold by the experts at Sotheby's over the weekend, it actually went for double the estimate price.<\/p>\n

Oddly, the bottle is open, and the in-house expert had a \u201ctiny drop\u201d of it before it went on sale. Jonny Fowle said: \u201cIt's very rich, it's got a lot of dried fruit as you would expect, a lot of spice, a lot of wood.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the one whisky that every auctioneer wants to sell and every collector wants to own".<\/p>\n

It is not known who sold the bottle, or why they chose to part with it, nor has the buyer been made public by the auction house.<\/p>\n

Although some bottles of Macallan can be bought for a more reasonable price of around \u00a380, the company is known for it's extremely expensive, super-rare bottles, such as the 1928 anniversary malt, bottle in 1983, priced at a whopping \u00a3245,000, according to the experts at Hard To Find Whisky.<\/p>\n
