Macallan Whisky - (1940)

[Stalker62]

£215,000 a bottle.



That is about £13,000 a dram.

Added that to the price (£1.85) of a two litre bottle of diet coke mixer...







On the plus side, at least the 'standard" delivery is free...or another £6.97 for "Express" delivery...

Diet Coke, how very dare you. Full fat only...

Diet Coke, how very dare you. Full fat only...

There is a story on here from a PH whose regular guest 'polluted' really good whisky with a mixer.


If you have quarter of a million to spend on a bottle of Whisky, when on earth do you drink it?

Who would you share it with - surely you have to share it?

What occasion would be so special?

 

[NoIDeer]

At that price would make it worth going on a round the world cruise and have it delivered VAT free. Coke Zero is better btw.

Drink it out of sight out of everyone.

Refill it with bells then hold a grand dinner and ‘open’ it and see who is brave enough to call BS and how many will lie and say they can smell aromas of utter made up substance.

 

[Malxwal]

If I had that sort of money, I'd hold onto it til I found a mug to pay me even more for it. It's old whisky, not nectar of the gods.

I did that, I have a friend who has everything,and lets you know it, so I bought an expensive wine named label off the Ebay, and carefully put it on a regular claret from Tanners, and Yes all his so called mates fell for it hook line and sinker..

The still room in Gleneagles hotel yesterday had a window display of Macallan from the 40's up to the 90's. But no prices....

 

[maximus otter]

Coke? In whisky, let alone malt?

That's it: I'm off this forum. You're animals.

My wake?

 

[Stalker62]

My wake?

There is another on here (we all know who he is), who has a wonderful bottle of Whiskey which he refuses to open.

I had said that others will do it for him, at his wake - and where is the joy in that?

@Plummer

It is an interesting 'game' to play with the 'experts'.

One mate utterly failed to identify his preferred champagne, other mates have also done poorly on the blind test Gin game.

I would think there'd be several hookers , at least , in the room. Possibly a private lap dance been given off Kylie minogue. That's how I'd like to think I'd imbibe anyhow.

 

[long_range_rob]

You could save a bit if you used Tescos own Diet Coke at 49p a bottle

 

[enfieldspares]

Keep it for when you need a tooth pulled and there's no anaesthetic. For the pain of drinking half the bottle and using it so will way way surpass the pain of the tooth being extracted.

Wish I could remember drinking this

Is there a link between Tain and the Regiment?

Sir, you are my hero .

It's strange to think , that someone who is intelligent enough to have 215k to spend on a bottle of booze , would actually be stupid enough to spend it on a bottle of booze.
I'm guessing something like that would only really be bought as an investment, wouldn't it ???.

Possibly, or bragging rights. Who knows the rational behind spending so much on fire water.

I vaguely remember a TV programme about immensely wealthy people , that can afford absolutely anything , and the type of things that they buy. One rich guy was buying/drinking , the very last glass in the world , of some very old , and very expensive brandy . Iirc , that glass of brandy was 50k .
It makes a full bottle of scotch at 215k look pretty good value for money.
