$1M at auction
Considered the Holy Grail of Scotch whiskys, only 12 bottles of this expression from the storied Speyside distillery were produced and affixed with labels painted by the renowned Italian artist of the same name. I’m feeling dram-atically poor after seeing the price tag...
coffeeliquorwine
“Do I want a Corvette or a bottle of whisky?” A question you wouldn’t have to ask yourself if you had money to buy one of these bottles.

People looking at those probably already have all their other leisure purchases taken care of. Same with dumb expensive watches.

Stark contrast between the Macallan boxes vs the Japanese whisky boxes but still well made

Suntory pretty much believes that the focus should be on the whisky, not what it's contained in.

I consider myself a scotch connoisseur but these should max out at $2500. Paying more is just a waste of money.
NowYourJustBeatingOffaDeadHorse
I kind of people who pay these prices have nothing but disposable income. The most expensive bottle of Whiskey I bought was $140, and I
NowYourJustBeatingOffaDeadHorse
thought that was a boatload to spend on liquor.
1CunningStunt
I might be poor but there's a huge diffence between a $50 and $100 bottle.. once you stay going past the $100 mark I don't taste improvement
furt77
But have you ever tasted a $1M bottle? It might be the best thing ever. For that matter, has anyone ever tasted it?
furt77
It could also taste like asparagus cum.
SecretlyThreeDucksInAManSuit
It's pure rarity value at that point. I wonder if the buyer would even drink it, I sure as shit wouldn't. Put it on display.
1CunningStunt
I don't think you buy them to drink ... You buy it so you can say look how rich I am

BerwynBrewyn
Those prices are pretty specific.
AkitaFuriosa
I was looking around and found these to be average prices but not sure how credible they are
WhatzitTooya
So at what point you stop paying for the whisky and start banking on the scarcity?
T0go
Normal people don't really buy these as speculative investments. These are for people who don't really pay attention to prices.
T0go
You can speculate on whiskey but nobody is buying *in* at $7000 a bottle

EnigmaNL
I have a Glenfarclas Family Casks bottle from 1988, it's not even that good honestly. Bought it for my 30th birthday, not worth it.
arek314
Yeah, it's more a commemorative experience and Verblen goods thing than a taste value.
Bassman3478
Good friend got me a 5th of JW blue in 2007 for my birthday. It was great - but this makes it look like I was just drinking diet horse piss
fruust
I mean jw is basically a scam. If you buy any single malt for the same price you'd get a superior whisky.
ihateimgurffs
No, no you don't. You get a different whisky.
fruust
That tastes better.
ihateimgurffs
Different.
fruust
Yeah different like good for the price point and bad for the price point in the case of jw. Because it's overpriced to scam people.
AkitaFuriosa
lysani
Check out the stuff from Suntory. I've bought a couple different ones for my brother, and he says JW is nothing compared to it.
UserSubImgurian
I got a bottle of JW King George. I don't drink, it's for guests
Makerofroads
IMO, JW is on the same level as diet horse piss anyways. My personal is that Glenmorangie 10 or Macallan 12 is better than JW Blue.
jimicus
You don't really see JW in Scotland.
LasciviousHedgehog
Tescos sells red label premixed with coca cola in a can

And several hundred varieties of scotch in a bottle, none of which have "Johnny Walker" on the label. Closest you'd get is (1/..)

"Rubber Johnny", but that's something else entirely.

westcoastjeff
Unpopular Opinon: Older scotch is not necessariy better. Like wine, it's still a matter of personal preference. Me? Glenmorangie 12.
arek314
Fine choice, I like how unimposing and floral 10 tasted, imagine same with 12.
westcoastjeff
Just a touch less raw, but wonderful, and so so approachable.
imgurn
Glenmorangie is my fav too.
ScuseMeWhileIWhipThisOut
you have fine taste, anonymous internet stranger. I will, however, slightly disagree about aging. We can still share a glass and debate it.

MyleKeville
These are so fancy I may have to pick up a case of Coca-Cola in those fancy glass bottles to mix.

They're not fancy. It's fake scarcity and manufactured demand. One of biggest reasons regular people suck at life is no economic education.

tbh drinking something this expensive is already a "fuck you" to any sane person so you may as well say "fuck you" to everybody by mixing.
Gayforbae
Consider it a rare experience? Like wingsuiting thru rhe andes?
MemeDissector
Drinking it with coke is an even rarer experience, comparably, because nobody who can afford it does it.
Gayforbae
Just because its rare doesnt mean its good. Thats like saying you sh ol uld take a chainsaw to your balls. Becuse nobody does it.

You gotta go get the McDonald’s Coca Cola. That’s the good stuff.
AkitaFuriosa
I used to think this about the Coke machine at my local Quickstop. I think they upped the syrup-to-soda ratio
Hobbes777
McD’s uses stainless steel container, no plastic. kept colder, so less CO2 escapes, up the syrup bc of ice melt and use wider straws 4 taste
Hobbes777
They’ve got things worked out with Coca Cola. (You May be spot on with thinking that place upped the syrup)

You are. Older does not mean better. The oldest whisky I tasted is 30 years old and it doesn't taste much different from the 20.

Makerofroads
Once bought a bottle of Royal Salute for a little more than that, and the blend was old enough to drink itself. Good, but best is ~12 years.
TheCaptainSteve
Macallan 18 begs to differ
gotreference
If you keep a 40 year old bottle for 10 years, is it a 50 year old, or does the aging have to do with the time in the barrel?
ScuseMeWhileIWhipThisOut
Once it leaves the cask it is as old as it is ever going to be. Aging = time in the barrel.
phil2MemeBaron
The age refers to when it was bottled partly due to that it no longer matures when it taken out of the barrel

guitardemon66
It can be found for under $150 if you know where to look! That said, I do recommend their 12 year for stuff in the $60 range.

190 before tax. At least locally.

MightyNo3370

Just sell the hungry children in order to afford it. Simple solution.
ToxicMolluscinity
You could make more by parting them out for their organs. There's always a Rockefeller in need of a new liver.

Hungry children prefer hotdogs and nuggets. You may drink your whiskey in good conscience.

Imo there's not a ton of difference after around 100-150 bottle (depending on the taxes in your state). I love me some good scotch but

I would never see myself spending more than 'maybe' 2-300, and that would be for like... A wedding/anniversary or something like that

I'll stick with Bourbon. Most expensive one is around $1300 and good can be had @ about $40

got for a birthday. It was smooth yes, but it still tasted like a 100 bottle of tequila.
onewaytrip
Maybe if you bought it from a person who cared about hungry children and then they used the money to feed them.
beardmbfan
Well you could share some with the kids. It’s win win.

but if someone didn't buy them then the distiller would be the one with the hungry children?

Even if i won an $80M lotto, i'd still probably never spend more than 1-200 on a bottle.

I'd probably try to hunt down a bar where I could try some of the really pricy ones, but also would still have evan williams in my cupboard.

Yeah, that i could do, and maybe one of the 40k bottles so i could share it out etc, but there's no way i could live with doing it regularly
DavidPemberton
There's diminishing return once you get over 70-80 quid a bottle, in my opinion.

Wel that's a pretty close equivalent of 1-200 AUD

I'd rather buy a dozen of my currently favourite whiskey than that one bottle.

OH! Nearly forgot the essential one in my house, a very cheap whisky (soft with a fresh aftertaste) is Teacher's Whisky. SO's favourite. :)

A good cheap imo is Canadian hunter. For being bottom shelf it tastes more low mid shelf
AkitaFuriosa
Do you drink it neat, rocks, or mixed with something?
whatseventhepointt
Nothing fancy, but lately I’ve been partial to Basil Hayden’s dark Rye. It’s a blend of two Ryes and a Port. Lovely red color and flavor.

Yamazaki 12 year or nikka whiskey from the barrel
SarcasticComment
I thought they were discontinuing the more common nikka. Damn shame really.
Caspooky
I recently fell in love with Ardbeg 10 Year Old, which I can only describe as a pirate ship (deep wood and salt flavour, long aftertaste).
BukkakeSamurai
I think the ardbeg 10Y is has THE best price-quality ratio. But at this point my no. 1 favourite is the Ardbeg Corryvreckan
AkitaFuriosa
Sold! Briny and smoky is my thing
KayJizzleDizzle
Speyburn 10 year. Very comparable to Macallan 12 and cheaper. Or the 18 year if you have a couple bucks. So good.
