 MK> Speaking of single malts, I see a bottle of Balvenie Fifty is up for

 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> However I see another hit at
 MK> https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2014/09/man-pays-64k-for-shot-of-maca
 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.... ;)

 MK> Here is a nice picture of Macallan 64;

I guess some people have money to burn.... ;)  

 MK> I think I'll be sticking with Glenlivet.

Yes.... and I with my Macallan 12...  :)
