The most I have spent on Bourbon was a $200 bottle for the bourbon tasting club I was in. Turns out that the more expensive a bottle is, the more it burns my freakin' throat. The cheaper it is, the easier it is to drink. Go figure.

Yes, it seems rums are a better place to find value. And I've never had a problem that a bit of Laphroaig Ten couldn't cure.
I’m guessing you never had McCormick Green Label. It’s no longer made, I’m pretty sure its use was deemed a war crime. It was about as smooth as off-road diesel…
Laphroaig is my favorite scotch as well.Yes, it seems rums are a better place to find value. And I've never had a problem that a bit of Laphroaig Ten couldn't cure.
This is yet another reason for questioning the existence of intelligent life on Earth.
A favorite if mine, I was introduced to the drink by some special forces, Green Berets" types, in the sixties. Martel and coke, ummmm. "Good" cognac wasn't used, to my knowledge, just the "cheap" stuff, lower level Martel and, a favorite, Courvoisier VS, were the favorites.

I am quite fond of Diplomatico Grande Reserva, from Venezuela. Neat. Wonderful with an earthy cigar.
If the market in premium Scotch is that strong and is trending up, the only thing to do is resell it and keep yourself in luxuries for the foreseeable future. If the market is trending down, prepare for bankruptcy.
I think these kinds of prices are geared to people who have hit some kind of artery of cash and just can't figure out how to spend it.
It wold be more seemly to found a scholarship program and educate the youth of world, if anyone is interested in that. Otherwise, it may be Scotch away.

Reminds me of Esoterica blends.
And for those saying Scotch is overpriced these days, some of it is. But you can get some amazing bottles in the $35-$50 range. Granted, you can also get some more amazing bottles in the $150-$300 range too . . . There's a good bottle out there for every budget.
Actually, cognac and coke is very popular among rap artists in US. Some cognac distilleries were actually making commercials to attract rap listeners.
I do prefer my drinks neat with drop or two spring water, but after half dozen of it, who cares what goes into it?
I've always preferred Irish to Scotch too.
About a hundred years ago, we did the tour of the Bushmills distillery, just outside Dublin. The lady who was hosting us at the time explained that Jameson, Bushmills, et al were all distilled three times.
...to be sure, to be sure, to be sure... said in an Irish lilt.

Is that Kramer from Seinfeld?You better just stick with Hennigan's.
Yes. A reference to a funny episode “The Red Dot”.
With the condition of modern schools, the Scotch is more worthwhile than an education fund.
There are still schools, at least in God’s own Ozarks, that still require their students not only read but discuss and understand Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds.
I was privileged to read that book at home, and at church, and at school.
The kids who didn’t read it at home or church at least knew what a tulip bulb mania was if they paid attention at school.
There is nothing new under the sun.
Every money mania and scam and scheme we see today is very old.
