Rare whisky up for grabs

The first of 11 special bottles of Glenfiddich whisky to be auctioned to mark the 110th birthday of the grand-daughter of the firm’s founder is expected to raise at least £30,000.

The bottle of 55-year-old single malt goes under the hammer in the Capital on December 14. The bottles are being auctioned to honour Janet Sheed Roberts, the oldest person in Scotland, and grand-daughter of William Grant, founder of the distillery. Proceeds from the sale in Edinburgh will go to Water Aid.
