A rare bottle of whisky has broken the record for the most expensive wine or spirit sold at auction.

The Macallan 1926 single malt is one of the world's “most sought-after" bottles of Scotch whisky.

It was sold by Sotheby's on Saturday at more than double its estimated price, for a record £2.1 million (€2.4 million).

A bottle of what Sotheby’s is calling “the most sought-after Scotch whisky” is set to go up for auction next month, with an estimated price of up to €1.3 million.

The auction house said the 96-year-old bottle of single malt from distiller Macallan - The Macallan Adami 1926 - will come under the hammer in London on 18 November.

It's painful watching the , all the significant iconic, cultural and indeed legendary pieces being separated and scattered around the globe to the richest of rich people. It's a feeding frenzy of wealthy vultures. Such a shame, a great, great shame.

I visited Sotheby's in London the other week to look and it left a huge lump in my throat.

All these literally legendary hand written lyric sheets being separated, it's wrong.

Owners of Bored Ape NFTs are suing Sotheby's for deceiving them with an auction where now-disgraced cryptocurrency trading company FTX bought a significant portion of the shitty art tokens, without publicizing that it was FTX, thus "misleadingly creating the impression that the market for BAYC NFTs had crossed over to a mainstream audience."

Rudy Giuliani is selling his Manhattan apartment (likely to fund his legal defense or to kick off the process of secreting his assets away to financial secrecy jurisdictions in anticipation of the civil and criminal asset forfeitures that are to come?) Here's the listing... not bad for a humble servant of the people 🙄

On the upcoming 27. June, Gustav Klimt's very last "Dame mit Fächer" (Lady with Fan) will go to in Sotheby's.

They are suggesting an estimate of £65m (€76m, $82m).
That's the highest pitch ever made in !

Personally, I like this one much better than the "Adele Bloch-Bauer I" painting, or "The Kiss".
