The world’s largest bottle of Scotch whisky, standing 5 foot 11 inches tall and filled with a record breaking 311 litres of 32-year-old Macallan, is set to go under the hammer.
When it goes on sale at Edinburgh-based Lyon & Turnbull next month, containing the equivalent of 444 standard bottles, it is hoped The Intrepid will smash through the £1.5m mark and become the most expensive ever sold.
Colin Fraser, a consultant at Lyon & Turnbull, said: “I’m sure there will be significant global interest in the auction of The Intrepid, a unique collection spearheaded by the record-breaking bottling standing at an incredible 5ft 11ins tall.”
