The world’s largest bottle of single malt whisky is going under the hammer in an online auction – and is expected to fetch more than £15,000.
The 105.3-litre bottle of 14-year-old Tomintoul is nearly 1.5 metres tall, weighs more than 180 kilos and would serve up around 5,250 drams.
Bidding was already above £6,000 by Tuesday morning, ahead of the deadline at 8pm on Sunday.
Graham Crane, director and co-founder of auctioneers Just Whisky, said: “Every now and then the opportunity to purchase a truly unique bottle of whisky occurs – this is one of those times.

The giant Speyside bottle, which holds 150 standard bottles of whisky, also features an oversized label and a 20cm cork.
It was filled at the Tomintoul Distillery in August 2009 by a team of 14 people, and has previously been on display in The Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh.
Bids can be made on the Just Whisky website.
