World's Most Expensive Scotch Available By The Glass
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (Wireless Flash) -- The world's most expensive single malt Scotch whiskey will soon be made available to the public by the glass.
Until now, the Macallan Scotch whiskey vintage collection of 38 bottles, which is valued at $170,000, has only been sold by the bottle.
But the Borgata hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, has decided to offer the 38 different vintages by the glass, where one glass can cost anywhere from $50 to $3,500 depending on the vintage.
The fancy schmancy Scotch is meant to be sipped not gulped, and according to a hotel spokesperson, the Borgata will have a special single-malt sommelier on hand to pour it when it's ordered.
Borgata big-wigs expect the Scotch to be popular since it is the first time it has been offered by the glass anywhere.
It will remain exclusively offered at the Borgata through June, when it may become available elsewhere.
