World's most expensive dram of Scotch was a fake

[Gerald]

A dram of vintage Scotch bought by a Chinese millionaire in a Swiss hotel bar for £7,600 was a fake, laboratory tests have concluded.
Analysts from Scotland were called in by the Waldhaus Am See hotel in St Moritz after experts questioned the authenticity of the 2cl shot.
It had been poured from an unopened bottle labelled as an 1878 Macallan single malt.
It is believed to be the largest sum ever paid for a poured dram of Scotch.
But analysis found that it was almost certainly not distilled before 1970.

Suspect vintage,but barley worth £7.600.

But who would ever suspect the Swiss of dishonesty?? :hmmm:

Macallan is not destilled or bottled by the Swiss! The Swiss just believed what the bottle said it contained.

But who would ever suspect that the Swiss could be misled?

In that case it should be worth more than £7,600
