The Macallan 1926 Single Malt, sold at Sotheby’s in London, is the most sought-after bottle in the world.
The record for the most expensive wine or spirit sold at auction has been broken by a unique bottle of whiskey which sold for $2.7 million at auction. The Macallan 1926 Single Malt, sold at Sotheby’s in London, is the most sought-after bottle in the world. This bottle was sold on November 18 at twice the estimated price.

Reportedly 40 bottles were not made available for purchase; Instead, some were offered to The Macallan’s top customers. The presence of any of these bottles at auction has resulted in extraordinary results over the past few years – in 2018 and 2019, the auction record was broken three times by three different variations.
Sotheby’s also shared a photo of this bottle on Instagram. “This new record result for The Macallan Adami feels all the more emotional to me, considering the amount of time I spent renovating, nosering and authenticating this bottle, then taking it to the consignor and distillery to finish it,” Johnny Fowle, Sotheby’s global head of whiskey, said in the post.
