Whisky Focus - Rare Glenfiddich 1937 64Year Old For Sale

An exceptionally rare bottle of Glenfiddich distilled in 1937 will go up for sale at Bonhams Whisky sale in Edinburgh on 16 June 2010.

It is one of only 11 bottles of the 1937 produced by the distillery and is the first to appear at auction. Having matured for 64 years it is also one of the oldest whiskies ever released onto the market. It is estimated to make between £15,000 – £20,000 and is likely to be keenly sought after.

Bonhams Whisky consultant, Martin Green, commented, "It isn't very often that such a rare bottle comes along and it's a privilege to be handling it. As soon as I recognised the significance of the bottle I got in touch with the distillery to let them know that we were including it in the auction."

Libby Lafferty speaking for Glenfiddich said, "We were very excited when we heard that the 1937 was going into the sale and immediately invited Martin Green from Bonhams to bring the bottle back to its home distillery to photograph for our archives. It really is that special."
