Emerald Isle Triple-Distilled Single Malt Breaks Record
A 30-year-old bottle of whiskey has officially become the world's most expensive, selling for a staggering £2.2 million. This Emerald Isle triple-distilled single malt is considered the rarest whiskey in existence.
Record-Breaking Price Surpasses Previous Macallan Sale
The previous record holder, a Macallan 1926, was sold in November for £79,000 less than the Emerald Isle bottle. US collector Mike Daley, who purchased the whiskey from The Craft Irish Whiskey Co, believes that luxury Irish whiskey has the potential to rival the popularity of scotch in the future.
Exquisite Packaging Adds to the Whiskey's Value
The Emerald Isle whiskey comes in a stunning walnut case, which includes a single decanter, a Fabergé egg with an emerald gem, a custom timepiece, and a pair of Cohiba cigars. Critics argue that these luxurious additions contribute to the high price of the bottle.
Debate Over Value Comparisons
The Craft Irish Whiskey Co defends the value of the Emerald Isle bottle, stating that the Macallan 1926's price was elevated due to its label designed by Italian painter Valerio Adami. The company believes that luxury Irish whiskey is starting to make a name for itself and will continue to gain popularity in the coming years.
Founder of Distillery Celebrates Achievement
Jay Bradley, the founder of the distillery, considers the sale of the world's most expensive whiskey a monumental achievement for his business. He is confident that there are more exciting developments to come in the future.
