Missing: The Worlds Oldest Whisky

I was pondering yesterdays article about the worlds most expensive whisky when I came across another interesting article.

According to the Luxist, the worlds oldest whisky, a 70 year old malt bottled by Gordon and MacPhail from the Mortlach Distillery in Dufftown has disappeared at the Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival. 

This 70 year old whisky was bottled in very limited quantities. A 700 ml bottle fetched about $16,000 and there were also a few 200 ml sample bottles which were going for around $6,000 a piece.

The Importer, Symposion International, thinks that it was stolen towards the end of the show and is asking for help tracking it down. We wish them good luck in finding it.

I wonder what all these 60 and 70 year old spirits taste like?! They better be really darn good but even so $16,000-$160,000 a bottle is just insane. You'd have to be out of your mind or just have so much spare cash just lying around... *sigh*.

Sláinte!
