Glenlivet 70 Year Old Whiskey
Whiskey on the rocks anyone? Maybe with a dash of coke? Well there's one particular glass that might set you back a bit; this bottle of Glenlivet 70 Year Old Whiskey costs £12,999.00. Extra mature, this rare spirit was distilled on February 3rd, 1940 and comes in a hand-blown crystal tear-shaped decanted, with silver base and stopper, within a handmade box crafted from Scottish Elm.
Glenlivet 70 Year Old Whiskey
Only 100 of these pricey bottles were made as part of Gordon & MacPhail's Generations range, so you'd better be quick if you want to get your grubby mitts on one! Available to buy from various online shops, although you will have to pay a bit extra for delivery.
We're pleased to hear that a bottle of Glenlivet is being auctioned off to help raise funds for the victims of the Japan earthquake and tsunami. Due to be auctioned at Bonhams in Edinburgh, this is 1st bottle out of 100 and will raise funds for the Red Cross Japan Appeal.
Bottoms Up!

BarBot Slot Machine
The BarBot combines two ultimate sins in one unique machine; it’s a gambling slot machine that dispenses alcohol when you win! Winner of a hacker competition, the creator NYC Resistor gave it a Fear and Loathing theme (very appropriate) and reprogrammed it to dispense cocktails.
BarBot Machine
The BarBot doesn’t just dispense any old cocktail however, you have to get a winning combination of traditional cocktail ingredients on the three wheels. A variety of spirits and mixers are connected via pressurized tubes powered by a microcontroller and solenoid valves. If you’re thinking you could do with one of these in your home bar, think again, the whole process took 320 hours and cost $3000!
Cheers!
