Diageo Issues Three Rare Scotch Whisky Releases

Diageo has released three rare Scotch whiskies from its vaults but good luck getting any one of them as there are only 858 total bottles available among the three of them – Port Ellen, Craganmore and Royal Lochnagar – all of which are single cask releases.

Only 210 bottles of Port Ellen 33 Years Old exist due to the fact that the distillery closed 32 years ago. They are available for $7,020 per bottle exclusively in Dubai.

Cragganmore 43 Years Old is believed to be the most elderly single malt available that was produced by the original distillery and it is available for a mere $3,800 per bottle, however, the catch is that there are only 474 bottles are available and you can only purchase them in Dubai.

Finally, Royal Lochnagar 36 Years Old is the rarest of them all – only 174 bottles are available for $5,550 per bottle – and is also claimed to be one of the oldest crafted by the original distillery as well as possessing a bit of history when, in 1848, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited the distillery and subsequently granted it a Royal Warrant.
