#4 The Macallan 64 year old in Lalique – Cire Perdue- $460,000
To mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of Rene Latique, the founder of the world’s foremost crystal artisans, they combined the creativity and craftsmanship of The Maccalan and Lalique using the “lost wax” procedure to create truly unique, one-off piece of art.
The 1,5l decanter was auctioned in a co-operation with Sotheby’s on 15th November 2010 in New York, and raised $460,000. With this winning they created the world record of the most expensive whiskey ever sold at auction.
All the money rose benefited to charity; water to help people in developing countries by providing them with clean, safe drinking water.
