So, finally one of the oldest whiskey bottles from the Isle of Islay will be out for selling and that too for a noble cause. It’s a 54 year old Bowmore 1957 Scottish single malt whiskey and is expected to go under the hammer for a rocketing £150,000 on October 28, 2012 in New York City, as per auctioneers.
