The first, a 43 year old single cask bottling from the Cragganmore distillery, is believed to be the oldest ever official whisky released from there. Only 474 bottles are being made available, each pricing around $3,800, and it will be available only in Dubai.
Moving up the price scale, the next offering is a 36 year old release from Royal Lochnagar which will price around $5,550. While only 174 bottles of this are being released, those hoping to score a bottle of it will be happy to note a small allocation of it will be made available outside of travel retail.
Rounding out the trio is the high-punching Port Ellen 33 year old, of which just 210 bottles are being made available. It will drop at a staggering $7,020, with this extremely high price likely representing the fact whiskies released from this long closed distillery are more and more among some of the world’s most highly sought after by collectors.
