Worlds most expensive Whiskies.

 Now I have to say that some people are spending a lot of cash on horse piss! Well, I could resist seeing just how much and what people have to say about them.

The Macallan Fine and Rare Collection, 1926, 60 Years Old
Price: usd$38,000 (WTF!)
The oldest and most sought-after of Macallan’s revolutionary Fine & Rare Collection is now sold out. It is still possible to taste this totally unique Scotch whisky at the Old Homestead Steakhouse in the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, N.J. However, it sells for a nosebleed-inducing $3,300 per dram, so you had better have had a good run at the craps table.

Most Expensive Blended Scotch
Chivas Regal Royal Salute, 50 Year Old
Price: usd$10,000 (you gotta be kiddin me)
Released in 2003 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, its lead malt is the superb Strathisla, which accounts for the exceptionally rich and creamy character. Only 255 bottles of the Scottish whisky were released worldwide, which helps account for the high price.
Most Expensive Highland Whisky
Glen Garioch, 1958, 46 Year Old
Price: usd$2,600 (sounds cheap after those 2)
Just 328 bottles of this ancient dram were released, the product of only three bourbon hogsheads. Created in the northern part of Scotland, it is lightly peated, with strong floral elements and deep, complex woody and earthy flavors
Most Expensive Islay Whisky
Bruichladdich 40 Year Old
Price: usd$2,500
Whisky lovers the world over cheered when malt maestro Jim McEwan, of Bowmore fame, took over the mothballed distillery of Bruichladdich, on the Scottish island of Islay. While we await his new product to mature, we can enjoy such treasures as the delectable 40 year old he has mined from Bruichladdich’s richly stocked cellars. It is mild, yet packed with layer upon layer of deeply nuanced flavors.
Most Expensive Speyside Whisky
Glenfiddich 40 Year Old
Price: usd$2,500
This Scotch whisky won the Gold Medal and was judged the world’s finest single malt, at Whisky Magazine’s 2003 blind tasting. It’s slow to evolve in the glass, but when it does, it reveals itself as an amazingly deep and complex whisky, layered with chocolate and honey, with a long dry, smokey finish 

Most Expensive Campbeltown Whisky
Springbank 32 Year Old
Price: usd$750
One hundred years ago, there were over 30 distilleries in the Campbeltown region of Scotland. Now, sadly, there are only two. The good news is that one of them, Springbank, is thriving, thanks to its superior and utterly unmistakable whiskies. This version is a marriage of deeply complex flavors marked by a subtle, spicy sweetness from the 32 years spent maturing in old sherry casks.

Most Expensive Lowland Whisky
Auchentoshan 1973 32 Year Old
Price usd$700
Auchentoshan’s regular bottling does not get much respect among whisky aficionados, but this Oloroso-sherry matured version has won rave reviews for its rich complexity and, despite its age, its zesty, spicy fruitiness.

Most Expensive Bourbon
Evan Williams 23 Year Old Bourbon
Price: usd$350 (getting cheaper, but still an expensive way to get pissed)
Like many very old Bourbons, this beauty is packed with the flavors of dark chocolate, rum, raisins, caramel, vanilla and a long, syrupy finish tinged with woody spices. It is only available at the Kentucky distillery.
Most Expensive Irish Whiskey
Midleton Very Rare
Price: usd$139
The name does not lie, this is Ireland’s most exclusive, and rare, whiskey. It is made from a blend of whiskies between 12 and 25 years old, from just a handful of carefully selected bourbon casks. Each bottle is numbered, and there is a distinct difference from one year’s blend to the next.
Most Expensive Japanese Whiskey
Suntory Yamazaki 18 Year Old Single Malt Whiskey
Price: usd$110 (great accompanyment to sushi and kareoke)
Winner of a Double Gold Medal at the 2005 San Francisco World Spirits Competition thanks to its deep, complex blend of flavors. Created at Japan’s oldest distillery, built in 1923, it features dried fruit, honey, toffee and cedar flavors that precede a long, dryish finish.

Most Expensive Rye Whiskey
Sazerac Rye 18 Year Old
Price: usd$55
Not for the fainthearted. This huge, powerful whiskey, made by New Orleans-based Sazerac, is packed with aromatic flavors like mint, eucalyptus, cinnamon, leather and tobacco, all balanced by a honeyed vanilla sweetness.
Most Expensive Blended Malt Whiskey
Johnny Walker Green Label
Price: usd$50
Also known as a vatted malt, this type consists of a blend of single malts from different distilleries, with no grain whiskey. The blend is dominated by strong hints of the subtle peaty sweetness of Caol Ila, a superb distillery on the Scottish island of Islay, moderated by a selection from Diageo’s fine array of Speyside distilleries.
Most Expensive Tennessee Whiskey
Jack Daniels Single Barrel Whiskey
Price: usd$42 (good old Jack)
While technically a single-barrel whiskey, this JD is more akin to a limited-edition, premium bottling in that there is minimal variation between the casks–they are all chosen for their adhesion to the single-barrel style. But this doesn’t matter, because it is a suburb whiskey, altogether fuller and more intensely flavored than other JDs.
