The Macallan Sets $2.33 Million Record for Most Expensive Whisky Cask Sold at Auction

The Macallan Sets $2.33 Million Record for Most Expensive Whisky Cask Sold at Auction

London-based brokerage VCL Vintners chose to auction off the cask with a non-fungible token courtesy of NFT artist Trevor Jones. Instead of the usual cask photo, Jones was commissioned to create an abstract representation. The somewhat smudgy and loosely barrel-shaped result was entitled The Angel’s Share. This latest Macallan record comes at the expense of an old one: a similar Macallan 1991 cask set the record for priciest cask back in August by selling for $572,978 — though that cask apparently only contained about 200 bottles’ worth of booze.
