    MK> Speaking of single malts, I see a bottle of Balvenie Fifty is up for   
    MK> grabs in Vancouver for $33,500 Canadian.  They make note that it isn't   
    MK> the most expensive ever sold and state that a bottle of Macallan 64   
    MK> scotch sold at Sotheby's auction in New York in November 2010 for   
    MK> $460,000 USD.    
      
   Those are both really old distillations.... and much more than I'd even   
   dream of spending on anything, too.... :)

    MK> llan-whisky that claims the most expensive was sold at auction for   
    MK> $628,000 USD in Hong Kong.  They also mention that a Los Angeles   
    MK> entrepreneur bought a $64,000 shot of Macallan 64 Year Old which is   
    MK> around 3 times the cost of a whole bottle of Balvenie Fifty.    
      
   When I do the math it's a little less than twice the cost of the whole   
   bottle of the Balvenie Fifty.... ;)

   I guess some people have money to burn.... ;)     
      
    MK> I think I'll be sticking with Glenlivet.   
      
   Yes.... and I with my Macallan 12...  :)
