Gigantic whisky bottle makes Guinness Record

The world’s largest whisky bottle has been unveiled and put on display in a restaurant in Tomintoul, the highest village in the Highlands of Scotland.
The restaurateur along with the local whisky shop owner collaborated with Tomintoul Distillery to produce the 164 kg, 105.3 litre bottle of Tomintoul Speyside Glenlivet 14 year old single malt Scotch whisky, which stands 1.44m tall. The bottle was manufactured in Germany and hand filled, labelled and corked at the distillery.
