Auction for 1830s Whisky Found in Cellar of Perthshire Castle

That the Parliament congratulates Blair Castle, in Perthshire, on the discovery of what is believed to be one of the world’s oldest whiskies; notes that the bottle of Scotch was found behind a cellar door at the 750-year-old castle, which, it understands, is the ancestral home of the Atholl family; understands that the whisky is thought to have been distilled nearly 200 years ago, and may have been sipped by a young Queen Victoria, who visited the castle; recognises that research in the castle archives backs the whisky’s 19th century origin, with 24 bottles going on sale individually through the Perth-based business, Whisky Auctioneer, and wishes Blair Castle all the best for its future.
