Most expensive whisky cask ever sold; 1975 cask sold for £16 million
Ardbeg Cask No. 3, the oldest and only 1975 cask released by the ultimate Islay malt Ardbeg, has been sold to a private collector in Asia for 16 million pounds (about 2.6 billion Japanese yen). This sale is the highest price ever paid for a whisky cask. Ardbeg Cask No. 3 is the one and only 1975 cask that survived the two closures of the Ardbeg distillery. With few single malts made in the 1970s and the closure of the Ardbeg Distillery in the 1980s and 1990s, it became the oldest and most valuable cask released by Ardbeg. From now on, we will offer a unique Ardbeg collection that will be bottling for owners over 5 years (a constant bottle each year) and will not be reproducible for at least 10 years.
