I always find it hard to believe that the person with enough money to buy this is just casually out shopping for it. Idk picturing this very wealthy person going to “Total Wine” for their liquor is funny lol

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

I brought my cousin (who’s a C-list actor) a 15yr glenfiddich for New Years, several years ago. It was promptly placed to the side as a his close friend (another C-list actor) brought in a $10k+ bottle of scotch for them to share that he’d “picked up on the way”.

For special occasions I could absolutely see a more wealthy pair share a $50k+ bottle, and there are plenty of A-list celebrities with money and no financial sense who go to everyday shops like the rest of us.

As for me, that glenfiddich is probably the most expensive bottle of alcohol I’ll ever buy.

And my drunk boss trying to impress us at a Christmas party then knocking over 3 $200 shots of something that came out of a clear locked box on top of the bar.

We laughed "at", not "with" him. ;)

The first sacrilege was drinking anything before the good stuff.
