A bottle of whisky has set a world record as the most expensive to be sold at am auction. The bottle of single malt scotch was purchased at an auction for over $1.1 million [N399.85 million]in Edinburgh, Scotland. Another bottle of the same single-malt was sold in May for over $1 million [N363.5 million]in Hong Kong. Martin Greene, Bonhams whisky specialist in Ediburgh stated that, “The world’s most serious whisky collectors will wait patiently for many years for a bottle to come onto the market.”The bottle sold is one of a limited edition of 24 bottles desines by two pop artists. One is thought to have been destroyed in the 2011 earthquake in Japan and at least another has been “opened and drunk,” Bonhams wrote.
