A bottle of Scotch whisky fetched £848,000, or $1.1 million USD, at an auction on Wednesday smashing the world record.

Distilled in 1926 and bottled in 1986, The Macallan Valerio Adami 1926 60-year-old, referred to as “The Holy Grail of whisky,” was auctioned by Bonhams in Edinburgh.

What stands out with this bottle is the label’s artwork and the limited number produced. At the time, renowned pop artists Valerio Adami and Peter Blake were commissioned by Macallan to design labels for 24 bottles, with each artist contributing to 12 bottles. Adami, now 83, is an Italian painter best known for his bold and colorful imagery outlined by black lines.

It’s unclear how many of those Macallan bottles are still in existence, but they’ve made headlines at other auctions.

Looks good. Couple of ice cubes, little splash of coke and that'd make a mighty fine beverage on a hot day.

Clearly sarcasm isn't your strong suit.

I used tea. My parents rarely drink whiskey . They had no idea for 10-12 years till my dad was going to a football game and I had to tell him.

Nice cubist art boob. Could probably stand to be a bit squarer.
