Reply to comment by ShannonsParade in $44,999 50 year Balvenie Scotch whisky by Android9765
It's mostly an advertising gimmick for those places. Word of mouth about the oddity of a 45k bottle of liquor, making the average person feel classy by shopping in a place that has it, or fishing for a bar/restaurant to buy it.
That being said, I've had the opportunity to try some liquors in the 3-6k range, and for me, while the liquor was very good, I would not purchase a bottle of it. My topline is right in the 300 range and that's only once every couple of years.
You can do extremely well in the 80-120$ range if you are looking for a sipping whiskey.

Feel exactly this way about port. I've had in the higher range and it's not so overly beyond €300-500 that id think it worth it.

I'm a fan of Kavalan for something different. Bruichladdich Octomore ( The price on this has crept up though. Their entire line is great though). Glenlivet Nadurra Oloroso. Stauning Smoke Danish whiskey. Kurayoshi Sherry Cask. Milk & Honey Apex Cognac cask

Doesn't matter what it costs, it all tastes like gasoline to me.

That happens, everyone has a different taste and likes/dislikes.
