One shot of this rare whiskey costs $3,000 — The Post taste-tests the oldest Irish single malt ever sold

This is one swanky sláinte.
Last month, Bushmills, the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery, released its limited edition, 46-year-old whiskey — billed as the oldest Irish single-malt ever sold.
The mahogany sipper, hailing from County Antrim, Northern Ireland, also sports one hefty price tag for New Yorkers not worried about the volatile market and hoping for a taste.
Bottles of the special spirit — officially christened “Bushmills 46-Year – The Secrets of the River Bush” — were originally priced at $12,500, and only 300 were made.
The previous record for an aged single malt was 45 years, so Bushmills cracked the casket just in time to set a record.
“The casks will tell you when it’s time. We let each cask tell us when it’s ready and this whiskey told me it was ready,” Bushmills’ Master Blender Alex Thomas told The Post.

It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
