Scotch whisky producer Loch Lomond has unveiled a 54-year-old single malt priced at £24,000 ($26,928), according to the Scottish Sun. Only 55 bottles of the rare whisky are available.

Bottled at 41.1% ABV, this whisky was distilled in 1967 and aged in refill American oak hogshead casks before being recasked into a refill European oak sherry hogshead in 1994.

“It is a real privilege to work with a whisky so rare,” Loch Lomond Master Blender Michael Henry said, according to the Scottish Sun. “Our 54-year-old single malt whisky had been maturing for more than 40 years before I joined as master blender in 2007.

“It takes a very special cask of whisky to make it to 54 years old, and the expectations are high when working with liquid as special and scarce as this. It was a huge undertaking and came with great responsibility.”

Loch Lomond 54 Years Old rests in a handmade Glencairn crystal decanter, which is housed in a handmade multi-layered oak box. The whisky will be available worldwide.

In August, a report from International Wine and Spirits Research showed that Loch Lomond was the fastest-growing among the world’s top 25 single malt whisky brands in 2021.
