A MINIATURE bottle of Dunville's VR Old Irish Whisky fetched £100 at auction yesterday as part of a sale of some of the world's rarest drams.

The lot, one of 500 being sold at McTear's, had been estimated to go for between £40 and £60.

During the auction in Glasgow, a 1955 Bowmore sold for £4000.

McTear's whisky specialist Stephen McGinty, said: "It was a cracking sale with the prices achieved showing yet again that whisky continues to hold its own as a lucrative long-term investment opportunity."
