Only 60 bottles are available at £100,000 so dont hang around if you fancy one.

| For £100000 you think they would name the whiskies that went into the blend as i will never taste it i would be interested in knowing what whiskies blended together make a £100000 blend. Surely there wont be many in the blend as there is only 61 decanters. |

£120,000 per bottle when you add UK VAT
I have read about this in a few places and there does seem to be a lack of info on what the whisky actually tastes like. |

Good points, i cant say i have seen anywhere with a tasting note or saying what has gone into the blend. I am sure it is an outstanding whisky, well i would hope it is at £120000
It is an amazing looking decanter |

They are giving the profits to a good cause but Diageos sums seem a bit out
