Luxury wine and spirits retailer Le Clos announced Monday that it is launching an exclusive, limited-edition 50-year-old scotch, called Celebration Edition Blended Whisky.

The release is extremely limited at a mere 120 bottles and only available at Le Clos outlets at Dubai International airport and online at leclos.net for $500 for a 700-milliliter bottle. Celebration Edition Blended Whisky has notes of figs, cinnamon and rich honey, according to Le Clos’s website.

The 50-year-old whisky is a blend of “some of Scotland’s most iconic distilleries,” according to a news release.

This whisky will appeal to both enthusiasts and collectors providing an opportunity to secure a time capsule of history.”
