Auctioneer Just Whisky is selling a 105.3-litre bottle of 14-year-old Tomintoul whisky in its Christmas auction. The bottle is almost 1.5 meters tall and contains 5,250 drams.

The non-chill-filtered whisky (46% ABV) weighs more than 180 kilos and was commissioned by four Tomintoul residents “who wanted to create something iconic to promote the village and the distillery on a global stage”.

The record-breaking bottle was filled at the Speyside distillery on 29 August 2009 by a team of 14 people under the leadership of distillery director Robert Fleming. It holds 150 bottles and comes with a 20cm-long cork and an oversized label.

“Every now and then the opportunity to purchase a truly unique bottle of whisky occurs – this is one of those times,” said Graham Crane, director, and co-founder of Just Whisky.

“We’re delighted to be auctioning this super-sized bottle this month and hope that the lucky buyer has either an appropriate-sized stocking for Christmas if it’s a gift, or is planning a memorable Hogmanay celebration to welcome in 2020. There has already been a lot of interest and we are looking forward to seeing the bids roll in.”
