rare bottle whiskey, Islay single malt sold for £9,200
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/3202839.stm



A rare bottle of whisky more than tripled its estimated when it went under the hammer today in a bid to raise cash for a children's charity
The Islay single malt - which had been expected to sell for around £3,000 - sold for £9,200 with buyer's premium.
Bidders from France, Japan, Italy and Holland vied for the bottle at the sale, in McTear's auction house, Glasgow.

But it was the distiller which created the tipple, Morrison Bowmore, which bid the highest.
The cash will go to the distiller's chosen charity, the Children's Hospice Association Scotland (Chas).
