| A rare bottle of whisky has sold for a record-breaking price.
The bottle of Glenfiddich Janet Sheed Roberts Reserve was sold at auction in New York for $US94,000 ($89,600).
It is the most expensive bottle ever sold at auction, a spokesman for the Glenfiddich distillery said.
The 1955 tipple is the third of 11 to be released to the public.
The first sold at Bonhams in Edinburgh in December for a record-breaking £46,850, topping the previous world record of just under £30,000 for a bottle of single malt.
The second was bought by an anonymous bidder at the Honourable Artillery Company in London for £44,000.
