A very rare bottle of 150 year old Glenavon whisky is to be auctioned next month (November 2006). The Glenavon distillery closed in the 1850s.The bottle has been put up for auction by a woman from Northern Ireland in whose family the bottle has resided for generations. The Glenavon Distillery was situated in Ballindalloch, Speyside and was recorded as operating in 1852.

The bottle is slightly smaller than the standard 75cl and is expected to fetch about GBP10,000 (about US$19,000).
