ET Bureau | Aug 23, 2014, 12.54PM IST
Macallan 1946 ($460,000)
This bottle of single malt whisky in a LaliqueCire Perdue
decanter was sold in 2010 at an auction, with the proceeds
going to charity. This whisky is unusual in that it was made
with peated malt because of the then-prohibitive prices of coal
that shot up because of World War II. This is a classic
Macallan and one of the best ever released.
Glenfiddich Janet Sheed Roberts Reserve 1955
($94,000)
Glenfiddich had a barrel of Scotch whisky that has been aging since New Year's Eve of 1955.
When Janet Sheed Roberts, the granddaughter of Glenfiddich's founder William Grant, passed
away at 110, the company decided to honour her by making 15 bottles from the said barrel. Four
were kept by the family while the rest were auctioned off. A whisky connoisseur from Atlanta
bought one of them for $94,000.
Macallan 1926 ($75,000)
This is the oldest in the Fine and Rare collection of Macallan. It was distilled in 1926 and bottled
only in 1986. Only 40 bottles were produced. It is dry and concentrated as no water has been
added to it.
Dalmore 62 Single Highland Malt Scotch Matheson ($58,000)
Only 12 bottles were made in 1942, each of which was given names unique but relevant to the
Dalmore Estate. The most expensive was the Matheson, named after Alexander Matheson, the
owner of the estate.
Glenfiddich 1937 ($20,000)
It was distilled in 1937 in Scotland. Left to age gracefully, the barrel was then opened and the
whisky was bottled in 2001. Only 61 bottles were made. The whisky is said to have a rich walnut
color, though it has hints of cedar, cinnamon, cloves and toffee.
Macallan 55-Year-Old ($12,500)
This whisky was distilled in a sherry oak barrel and aged for 55 years. The single malt whiskey
was then bottled in a Lalique Crystal Decanter, made by Rene Lalique who created a similar
perfume bottle in 1910.
Dalmore 50-Year-Old ($11,000)
It is one of the best 50-year-old whiskies ever made and much sought after. The whisky was first
distilled in 1920 and then bottled in 1978, with only 60 bottles being produced. The bottles
themselves were made of crystal decanters.
Glenfarclas 1955 ($10,878)
In 1865, John Grant bought the Glenfarclas Distillery in Ballindalloch in Scotland from Robert
Hay. The distillery, at that time, was already running for 29 years. To celebrate his ancestor's
birthday, George Grant handpicked a barrel in 1955 that would honour the man who started the
family business. This barrel was then bottled in 2005. Macallan 1939 ($10,125)
The Macallan 1939 comes from the distillery company's Fine and Rare collection. The whisky
was first bottled in 1979 after the company had it aged for 40 years. It comes in one of their
classic Lalique crystal decanter. Macallan is known for producing a strong collection of whiskies.

Chivas Regal Royal Salute 50-Year-Old ($10,000)
To celebrate the golden jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 2002, Chivas Regal released a specially-
made whisky called the Chivas Regal Royal Salute. Just like the queen's ascension to the throne,
this whisky was also laid to a barrel in 1952 and aged for 50 years.

Blue label is $175.Royal salute is a little more. Macallan 1946,was in the
news in 'The Hindu' in Feb 2009.Only 16 bottles were available in India.The
price was in lakhs and sold in ounces. 'Old is Gold'.Price is directly
proportional to the age.

The point is are they really worth the value against each It is unique to drink
a liquor which has been matured longer than your life span or before you
were even born but not all would be really able to see the difference between
say a 25 year product and a 35 year product. But this is what Scotch
Whiskey is about

SUBJECT : 1,800 fast-track courts on anvil to speed up justice .
####################### ANY INNOCENT REMAND HOME PRISONER (
WHO COULD NOT AFFORD A LAWYER / BAIL SURETY AMOUNT ) MUST
BE COMPENSATED BY THE GOVT AT A FIXED RATE PER DAY -- AFTER
A DEADLINE . MORE THAN 68% OF THE PRISONERS IN INDIA ARE
UNDER TRAILS . MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOR
PREVENTIVE MEASURES WITHOUT PROOF AND PERCEPTION -- AND
HAVE SECURED MEDALS AND PROMOTIONS FOR MEN IN UNIFORM .
UN had said that India is placed amongst the "worst" ten nations in the world
in terms of number of accused languishing in jails . Around 48 per cent of
these undertrials were aged between 18 and 30 - 33 per cent of them were
illiterate and over 2,100 under trials had been in detention for more than five
years. the rich man will NEVER be an under trail prisoner-- he will get
anticipatory bail, even for non-bailable offenses ! TROJAN HORSE NGOs
ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT NAXALS IN PRISON , AND ANIMALS IN
CIRCUS CAGE-- BUT DO NOT CARE FOR INNOCENT POOR HUMANS
INCARCERATED IN REMAND HOMES UNFAIRLY . A prisoner on remand is
someone who is imprisoned before the start of his or her trial . Being on
remand is stressful and emotionally distressing for innocent people --for they
are being punished despite the fact that they have not been convicted --and
the justice system in india is ridiculously slow . WE HAVE THE CHIEF
JUSTICE DOING VULGAR JUDICIAL OVER REACH REGULARLY--
ORDERING A DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVT TO INTERLINK INDIAN
RIVERS WITH A DEADLINE ETC -- HEY, CHIEF JUSTICE SAAB -- HOW
ABOUT YOUR OWN NEGLECTED BACK YARD ? DO YOU HAVE EVEN
A VESTIGE OF MORAL RIGHT TO TELL OTHER DEMOCRATIC PILLARS --
EXECUTIVE AND LEGISLATURE TO SPEED UP ? capt ajit vadakayil ..
