The 96-year-old bottle of single malt from distiller Macallan, known as The Macallan Adami 1926, will be auctioned in London on November 18, with an estimated price exceeding 750,000 pounds.

Advance bidding will commence on November 1.

In 2019, a version of The Macallan 1926 was sold by Sotheby's for 1.5 million pounds, setting a record for any bottle of wine or spirit.

The appearance of three different bottle variations of the whisky at auctions in 2018 and 2019 led to the record being broken three times. Jonny Fowle, Sotheby's Global Head of Spirits, stated, "The Macallan 1926 is the one whisky that every auctioneer wants to sell and every collector wants to own."
