The Queen of England has a few other celebrations up her way. After the Royal wedding of her grandson, she is now all set to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee that happens next year. Apparently she is not the only one in celebration mood, getting her and the rest of the invitees in drunken stupor is Diageo also known as the Drinks giant.
He will be responsible for bringing in the 60 limited edition whisky bottles that will be exclusively produced by John Walker and Sons of Scotland. The price of a single bottle of this priceless whisky that these Scottish brewers will be making costs nothing less than $163,700.
The decanter of this bottle is made from lead and embellished with crystal, has a Britannia silver collar and also has a diamond that is half a carat. Every bottle is sealed with silver and is numbered, along with this they also have a “pair of hand-engraved lead crystal glasses housed in a cabinet incorporating woods from the Queen’s Sandringham and Balmoral estates.”
The whisky maker however will be donating the proceeds got from the sales of this super royal and opulent Diamond Jubilee Scotch Whisky to the existing charitable trust of the Queen known as the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (Qest). This trust is an existing arm of the Royal Warrant Holders Association.
The date of the Diamond Jubilee celebration will be engraved on it which is 6th February 2012, which was exactly 60 years ago the Queen took on the throne. The brew is a blend of whiskies that were apparently distilled all across Scotland during the year 1952 after which it was finished in an cask that was made using English oak that comes right from the Queen’s Sandringham Estate.
