The Glen Grant Single Malt Scotch Whisky has reported that its 68-Year-Old Visionary whisky was sold for £212,500 ($256,636), surpassing its initial estimated value of £50,000 – £90,000 at The Distillers One of One Auction. The proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Distillers’ Charity.
The one-of-a-kind Visionary – the oldest whisky present at the auction – now holds the highest price for a whisky from The Glen Grant in its 180-year history and secured the distillery a top three spot in this year’s auction.
Established in Speyside in 1840, the distillery is relatively new to auctions, and this success follows last week’s landmark auction in partnership with Sotheby’s, in which the Devotion 70-Year-Old was sold for $101,300 USD.
The Distillers’ Charity works with young people in Scotland to transform their life chances by helping them to develop knowledge, confidence, resilience and skills.
