I'll even bring the ice and glasses
"Now, fine malt whiskey retailer Master of Malt have unveiled the world’s oldest and most expensive bottle of Scotch whiskey. The whiskey, which was discovered by a Scottish historian eight months ago, now costs £870,000 ($1.4 million), making it the most expensive spirit ever released."

My calculations equal about 35,000.00 a shot!! Hee Haw

I had glass of French brandy from a $1500 bottle one time. It was good but I guess I'm not very good at recognizing the good stuff. I couldn't tell the difference from a $20 bottle. Friz is right just gimme a bottle of the everyday stuff and I'm good.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around 1.4m for a single bottle of whiskey. After 105 years all they recovered from the barrel was one bottle. Even if I had a disgusting amount of money I could think of better ways to spend it. At least with a car you can sit in it once in a while. What can you do with a bottle,,, well,,, unless you were one of Clintons girl friends.
