When it comes to whiskey the rule generally goes; the older, the better. The very years that give this drink its life however also cruelly take it away via ‘the angels share’. For the curious and the devoted alike we have gone ahead and created a list of some of the five oldest whiskey’s you can find.
Dalmore 64 Trinitas
At 64 years old a whiskey like this is so difficult to make few ever attempt it. Dalmore distillery in Scotland, however, has crafted one of the oldest and most elite whiskey’s you’ll ever see, let alone taste. So much of this distilled history was lost to the angel’s share that only three bottles could be made. With heaven itself wanting so much you know that whomever can buy the last remaining bottle will taste something divine.
Cost: £ 100,000
