Expensive whisky

[Silver]

Was browsing the Norman Goodfellows 2016 Festive Season Catalogue and found this on pg 3:



R650k for a bottle of whisky!!

My word! I almost choked when I saw that. 50years is mature but R650k! Wow. Just crazy. Six months in an American Oak Barrel.

Just hope the local juice makers don't follow suit. Lol.

Just to be the guy that always has to "one-up" everyone else @Silver , I know Makro usually has some draw-droppers at Christmas time...

But look, it comes in a tube! Whiskey and wine belong in the same bin IMO Beer for Life!!

And it comes with a R20,000 savings! I'm tempted... NOT... I have never been cultured enough to be able to drink whiskey... Yech!

That is just remarkable @Stosta
Its quite amazing that one can buy such an expensive whisky at Makro

One would think for something of that price you would be going overseas to some special place in Scotland or somewhere similar - and have a whole weekend with special meals etc - and then get presented with your special bottle... that is autographed etc...

Not just pick it up casually at Makro on a Saturday morning...

Oh I see now - its only for online ordering - not at the store - lol

I know right! I'm pretty sure last year they had a bottle that was a bar, or at least close to it, and they only had one bottle in the country, with only 50 in the world or something like that. I'm sure one of our diplomats enjoyed it with their naked lady sushi breakfast one day.

Makro is actually really good at organising Christmas specials from their suppliers. We do a lot of stuff that is exclusive to Makro over the Christmas period, going into their liquor department is actually a lot of fun this time of year.

It was 2bar for the bottle, and the bottle was worth 750k alone. The. Bottle.

One of 47 ever made. If sold it would be presented to you in a manner fitting of dropping 2bar on 750ml of whisky.

May I never get that thirsty!

Absolutely ridiculous in my opinion. But I suppose everyone has their poison.

I'd rather have a 2016 Mustang GT 5.0 Fastback than squeeze an expensive bladder filled with lavishly priced pee into a Shanks porcelain toilet.

not that anyone asked me.

More often than not, these really expensive bottles of hooch are placed in to collections by connoisseurs. The 2bar bottle was never purchased, and only had interest from overseas buyers whom couldn't get access to it.

You'll find that bottles in the region of 50-150k (sometimes more) are the ones that are drunk.
I can say that a whisky from top distilleries valued at those prices are definitely something else.


Let me ask you this in return.

How many mods / tanks / WYH do you own or have owned ...

I hear you, different priorities I guess.

At the moment Im down to 3 tanks with 3 more on the way and 5 passed on to new owners - mods 2 in daily use 2 in broom cupboard, 1 piffed.
... for the grand total of less than an expensive bottle of whiskey.

The 1min mouth enjoyment 30sec pee then flush doesnt seem like a very good ROI to me.

@shaunnadan ,
Nice bar, but eish , apart from the glenfiddich 18 ( You should try the 15y Solero, much better IMHO), that collection is rather...brutal. It take it that what's on display is for social and the good stuff for quite contemplation is hidden?

that would be in my father-in-law's bar

 

[StompieZA]

But to be honest, I wonder how it tastes. Can it really be THAT good? or if you taste it with your eyes closed will it taste like Harrier lol
