The world's oldest malt whisky went on sale today with a price tag of up to £10,000 a bottle.
The Mortlach 70-year-old Speyside was sampled by a select group of tasters in a ceremony at Edinburgh Castle.
Only 54 full-size bottles, costing £10,000 each, and 162 smaller bottles, at £2,500, are available.
The whisky has been released under Gordon and MacPhail's Generations brand.
It was filled into its cask on 15 October 1938 at the order of John Urquhart, the grandfather of the firm's joint managing directors, David and Michael Urquhart.
Exactly 70 years later, the decision was made to empty the cask and bottle its contents.
A bottle of Mortlach was piped into the castle today and tasted by guests in the Queen Anne room.
The Urquharts described it as a malt "without comparison" and said: "This is a very special day for us – one we've literally been anticipating for generations.
"Our family has been in the whisky business for a long time, with each generation building and handing on a lifetime's expertise to the next."
