Forbes :: In Pictures: World’s Most Expensive Whiskies

whiskygeek | June 8, 2008

Interesting article on Whisky and it’s current ultra-premium faction.  As it becomes more and more popular, the top end goes higher and higher very quickly.

On a recent trip to New York City a young man from Toronto stepped into Park Avenue Liquor Shop and bought a $10,000 bottle of single malt Scotch for his son.

“He wanted something very special,” says Vice President Jonathan Goldstein, who sold him his second-to-last Macallan 50-year-old in its Lalique crystal decanter. “I don’t think he actually has a son–yet,” says Goldstein. “In fact, I don’t even think his wife is pregnant.”
