A 60-year-old rare bottle of Glen Grant whisky is to be sold to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee next year, costing a whopping £8,000 a bottle.

The ageing single malt, which was distilled on 2 February 1952, just four days before the Queen acceded the throne, was bottled on the same day this year, making it exactly 60 years old.

To celebrate it coming of age, whisky specialist Gordon & MacPhail is selling 85 bottles of the celebratory drink.
