I suppose the question might be WTH is scotch that rare and expensive doing sitting in a liquor store?
or better yet, what in the hell makes a bottle of booze worth $26,000? Does it cure cancer and add 10 years to your life when you drink it? A fool and his money.
WTH, indeed. That stuff is bottled in such small numbers that all of North America might've received a dozen bottles. Presumably it was the only such bottle that the Toronto shop received, so you'd think that they would've known not to just sit it out on the shelf.
Plus, those bottlings usually come packaged in some bulky, decorative box. It's not just another 750 ml bottle in the carton.
