New York, October 13: A bottle of a celebrated single malt whisky, aged 54 years, is hitting the auction block at a posh East Side gallery with a top-bidding target of 190,000 dollars.

That amounts to an astonishing 9,500 dollars for a small shot glass of one of the most exalted brews ever drawn from the oak casks at acclaimed Scottish distiller Morrison Bowmore Ltd. since its founding in 1779, the Daily Mail reported.

Only 12 bottles of the Bowmore 1957 blend exist. (ANI)
