(Newser) – One very lucky (and apparently wealthy) Macallan fan now has enough of their favorite whisky to share with at least 500 friends, after scooping up a cask of it for nearly $1.2 million—the most expensive cask ever sold at auction. Per CTV News, a 100-gallon barrel of the renowned spirits was whipped up by the Scottish distillery in 1988, and some guy reported to be an expatriate bought it up for about $6,300. You’d think one wouldn’t forget about such a purchase, but the buyer apparently had other stuff on his mind for the past three decades, as he didn’t remember to come for it until the distillery recently sent out a reminder that the cask was still sitting around in one of its warehouses.
