This is on sale at a Costco in San Jose. Can't recall ever running across at in the one in Baton Rouge.



Can't imagine how that could taste so good as to be worth that much.

I'm trying to figure out how Costco justifies having that much money tied up in 1 item. I wonder what their cost on it is. Also, I wonder how many they have sold.

Heresy. You need to use store brand ginger ale. I prefer Publix.

I've drank Balvenie 50, which starts at $32,000

Saw it about a month ago at Specs in Dallas for $40,000

It was the most interesting Scotch I've ever had. Tasted like nothing I've ever tasted. It sat in a Sherry butt for 50 years straight.

It was earthy, almost mushroomy, in a pleasant way. Stuck with me for an hour after I drank it.

NOTHING is worth that much money, unless it makes you fly

Better or worse than Old Forester 100 proof? That's my go to. I can tell the difference between that and something twice as much, but not enough to justify it on a go to.

Most expensive I’ve seen was a bottle in the LAX international terminal for $64,000 about 4 years ago

The top ones are more about the bottle than the product.

Nice to see my Dalmore there. The constellation series is super expensive.

Once you start aging 18+ years all the way to 50 and above like some of these, the amount of product lost justifies the high price tag. 2% lost per year.

Here is a visual representation of the color change and product loss over 30 years. As you can see, after 30 years, only about 50% of the original bottle remains.

I saw that Macallan M in a steakhouse in Miami this weekend. I think it was about 2k per pour and had half the bottle gone.
