The booming rare whisky market

Four bottles of 1950s Glenfiddich whisky recently sold for $1.4m, so why is rare - and expensive - Scotch whisky seemingly immune to wider economic woes? Elizabeth Hotson goes to Scotland in search of answers and tries some rather refined tipples along the way. Featuring Jonny Fowle, director and senior specialist in the whisky department of Sotheby's; Scotch superfan, Shunsuke Koike; James Mackay, head of rare & exceptional spirits at Diageo; Johnny Walker, master blender, Emma Walker and whisky consultant, Blair Bowman.
