A 250-year-old bottle of whiskey is up for auction.

It's believed to be the oldest whiskey in existence.

The auctioneers say they used a needle to extract a small sample of the liquid and sent it off for testing.

Scientists determined the whiskey was likely bottled between 1763 to 1803.

It's expected to be sold for about $40,000.
