Caption: FULL WORDS AND VIDEO AVAILABLE: INFO@COVERMG.COM ... THIS PICTURE: University of Glasgow calibration showing an 81.1% probability of being produced between 1763-1803. .... A whiskey believed to be the oldest in existence has sold for far more than its estimate. The Old Ingledew Whiskey, which carbon dating has evidenced as being produced between 1762-1802, sold for $137,500. Massachusetts-based auctioneers Skinner’s has estimated the lot between $20,000-40,000 in their Rare Spirits online auction, which concluded on 30 June. Skinner’s Rare Spirits expert, Joseph Hyman, remarks “The Old Ingledew Whiskey, bottled by Evans & Ragland, Lagrange GA, c. 1860s, is thought to be the only surviving bottle of a trio from the cellar of J.P. Morgan gifted in the 1940s to Washington power elite.”
