Would this qualify as ‘top shelf’?

This is stupid. This scotch will likely never be opened.

Reminds me of morons who purchase million dollar supercars, yet never drive them. They just sit in a museum.

Cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed for the purpose they were built.

Same for million dollar bottles of scotch. Drink up.

131,000 for the first shot. The second one your nose can’t tell it from Cutty Sark. That first one better be a good one..

Those that work at the distillery drink this stuff every day.

I'm not a serious Scotch “whisky” fan, so what do I know? But I've always preferred Johnnie Walker Red to the Black Label.

This is one way "the rich" park their money tax-free. They monetize something by paying 10,000x more for it than it's actually worth. Then 10 years later some other rich guy gives the original investor a 25% profit on his investment, and the beat goes on.

That's how doodles and kindergarten finger paintings like these come to be "worth" tens of millions:

Jackson Pollock's No. 5, $148 million

Mark Rothko's No. 10, $81.9 million


Buy it for a hyper-inflated price and it becomes a tax shelter. Then the art critics (who on the whole lack the talent to create something even this child-like) proclaim it a masterpiece and, Voilà, it is transformed into art.

For that much money you'd think they could go to the effort to think up a catchy title for it, huh?

I was born & raised in a snooty Connecticut suburb of NYC.

The scotch there flows like a large creek.

Never developed a taste for it, though. (I like bourbon [Maker’s Mark,] and rum, [Jane Barbancourt] and beer — most decent lables.

So what’s a good scotch for a non-scoth lover?
(Yeah, yeah: Crown Royal — but is even THAT one
all that tasty?) Mere high price tag doesn’t impress
me as a good quality indicator, necessarily...

This makes EVERYTHING I drink seems cheap and irresponsible. :)

I’ve got a nice bottle of Scotch that is bottle 79 of 100 I am cracking open for a certain special occasion, but it is no where near what some might consider expensive. I drank bottle 34 for a previous special occasion, and it was damned good and worth every penny. I’ve got a sleuth working on another bottle for a future occasion.
