Sale: A bottle of whisky for $200,000
Johnnie Walker only made 60 bottles of Diamond Jubilee, a whisky intended to celebrate the 60-year reign of Queen Elizabeth II. The whisky was distilled in 1952, the year of the queen's coronation, and comes in a decanter that features a half-caret diamond and the royal coat of arms. The bottles were initially sold by invitation only and were priced at 100,000 pounds in Britain (about $160,000). The Singapore bottle is part of a larger show (called Master of Spirits II) whose collected offerings total over a million dollars, including a bottle of Glenfiddich 1973 Cask No. 9899 and a Hennessy liquor chest topped with glass Murano pearls.
