SASSENHEIM, Netherlands, Nov. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

World's oldest single malt whisky officially launched in Amsterdam

During the first day of MASTERS EXPO, a luxurious event that is annually held

in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Scotch Whisky investments unveiled the #1

decanter of the Gordon & MacPhail Generations 80 Years Old release. This

80-year-old Glenlivet is the longest matured and bottled whisky known to man

and was recently acquired during an auction in Hong Kong by Scotch Whisky

Investments for 166,000 euros.

This whisky from the Glenlivet Distillery was distilled on 3 February 1940 and

has become a landmark in Scotland's liquid history. George Urquhart, from the

second generation to own the company, had the foresight and vision to lay down

spirit from Glenlivet Distillery in a bespoke Gordon & MacPhail oak cask to be

enjoyed after his lifetime by future generations. Over the last eight decades,

the cask has been cared for by the Gordon & MacPhail family and has finally

been bottled through a collaboration with Sir David Adjaye OBE, an

internationally acclaimed architect and designer.

Michel Kappen, CEO of the Dutch-based trading house Scotch Whisky Investments

that is specialized in (Scotch) single malt whisky as an alternative and

profitable investment, on his purchase of the first bottle: "Along with three

of our investors, we were able to acquire this unique decanter containing the

oldest single malt whisky in the world. It goes without saying that this '#1'

will remain unopened, will get a special place in our office and will serve as

a talking piece for anyone that is interested in investing in the Scottish

'water of life.'"

In all, 250 decanters have been bottled from the 80-year-old cask and are to be

sold worldwide. Prices can vary but every bottle of this special Glenlivet

80-year-old is expected to be sold in the range of 110,000 to 120,000 euros.
