I just bought a bottle of scotch for $495AUD ($289USD) (2523GBP).

I'm planning on opening it on my 50th birthday which is coming up very soon.

Edit: Prices for the poll are in USD

I've not tried absinthe. I've heard mixed reports on it. Some brands can be good whilst others are shite. Given how expensive it usually is I wouldn't risk it.

Edit: For a drink I know little about. Scotch or whisky is one thing, but something unbeknownst is asking a little to much.

I bought an 80 dollar bottle of bourbon for my wedding and ended up having one drink from it. I have a drink every once in a while and remember the day.

That is exactly how I think my drink will turn out.

Edit: I have also purchased a few Morris Inaugural Aged Port Barrel whiskeys for the festivities as well, which can only be purchased through The Whiskey Club, of which I'm a member.

My only experience with it is the stuff you can buy for 5 a bottle in Spanish supermarkets.

I can't comment on the quality, but it works as intended. Tastes like a stronger version of pastis to me.

At the moment we've really only touched on spirits/liqueurs. Wine can become somewhat expensive too. About 20 years ago I purchased a bottle of red for $150AUD ($97USD) (77). Needless to say it went down quite well. Not your Grange level, but nonetheless...

I want to hear for the person who said betwen $351 - $500. Moreso on what it was and, did you like it?

Edit: If you don't want to come forth publicly then by all means DM me. I'm interested solely in the product vs enjoyment.

$60 for a bottle of Herradura Ultra Aejo, but the place over-charged on everything.

I wasn't big into liquor though. Beer was my thing and there were multiple times I spent up to $40 per 12oz bottle of hard to find find beers.

Some beers can be quite expensive, especially given their size per bottle. I'm a big fan of boutique beer but with some bottles coming in at 330ml and wanting $65AUD ($42USD) (34GBP) per case then that leaves a lot to be desired.

Probably $70 max, though i have probably had a glass of $100+/bottle wine at a restaurant before

I'd like to try some high end scotch or whiskey but i dont have enough of a taste for it yet to really justify a big spend

My liquor of choice is gin and theres not much of a market in the $100+ range afaik

If i ever saw a $100 bottle of beer i think i'd give it a swing, as long as it wasnt a kind i dislike (e.g. not springing for a $100 sour or wheat beer)

No but I usually spend around $200 on her birthday so it was in line with my usual spend there. She really loves that stuff too.

I can say this only with the clarity of 4+ years of sobriety: these expensive beers in and of themselves were almost never worth it. Alcoholism + genuine appreciation for the beer really throws rational thinking out the window.

I had a little unofficial beer aficionados club and I think we all liked the thrill of the hunt and clout chasing from acquiring these special, sometimes seemingly sacred beers more than drinking them. There were a couple of legitimately mind blowing experiences though.

In the end, for me at least, it was all a really good front for an unhealthy alcohol obsession. <_<

So much, that I also got the 0,1l flask of it:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/6/6/AAelttAAEyoe.jpg

Stupid expensive for the small amount, but now I have the most fancy flask I have ever seen.

They even have 0,04l minuature bottles, but I never got them.

My oppinion: The difference between cheap tequila and the high end ones are the biggest within alcohol.

Sure, there is also a different between the normal wine and whiskey and the expensive ones, but I don't think I have never noticed such a big difference as with tequilla.

Hey man, I hear ya!! But to me it's all about moderation. Sure, go for the big game, but at the end of the day you only down what you can afford. Anything beyond that and you're only fooling yourself.

And just to be fully auspicious, when i say it's only down to what you can afford, I don't mean from a monetary view.

So there are, at the time of this post, 2 people who voted $351 - $500. There are also 2 other people (as I am one) who voted $251 - $350. I would very much like to hear from you, either here or DM. Tell me about your experience.

The bottle is nice enough you can re-use it for something after. Like a vase for fake flowers or a similar decoration.
