Any scotch over 30 years old taste poor, IMO.

Mmm, chocolate and treacle, my favorite.

I've given up scotch for Lent anyway, so this means nothing to me.

Previous bottles sold direct by the family-owned Glenfiddich Distillery fetched 10,000 pounds (14,500 euros, 19,000 dollars) each, but the price levied by the airport is expected to be higher still.

A $19,000 bottle of whiskey. I think I've found what it means to have too much money.

Chocolate and treacle? Hmm...a shot of that stuff ought to taste right nice in a Pepsi with plenty of ice...

Just 61 bottles, described as having "chocolate and treacle" flavours, were produced from the single cask and first released in 2001.

A tear rose to my jaded eye - until I read the chocolate and treacle part.:)

Well, you can have your chocolate and treacle. I prefer scotch.

The alcohol I make will get you there for %.0001 of the price. OMGI hope they have one hell of a good time.

Hong Kong's Chep Lap Kok Airport,

I wonder who the brain was that picked that name for the airport.

One mile from here in McNairy County, Tennessee, a whiskey is aged if its older than thirty minutes.

I bought a bottle of 25 year old Glen Farclas as a treat for Christmas and New Year's Eve.

It was the best, smoothest scotch I've ever had. Wonderful stuff. I munch a bit of shortbread with it.

I honestly don't much care for Glen Fiddich.

I'm still working on my Christmas bottle of Glenmorangie. Alas, the French have just bought the company. Perhaps I'll ask for Highland Park next Christmas ;)

$19,000 minimum for a bottle of hootch. And to think, they call Americans shallow.

Despite being a Glenlevit man, my father would kill for this bottle.

You can buy a lot cheaper toilet cleaner than single-malt scotch.

Old dogs, children, watermelon wine, old scotch and Cuban cigars. Faster horses, younger women, more money.

Guess my palate is not that sophisticated... Give me a $20 bottle of Grey Goose or Belvidere Vodka!

Scotch is an acquired taste... kind of like drinking turpentine Reminds me of a P.T. Barnam line about suckers being born every minute
