This news sure caught my attention. Here in BC there was apparently quite a few people lining up for days to get the chance to buy some really old Whiskey. The most expensive one was this \u201cGlenfiddich Single Malt Scottish Whiskey\u201d which was 50 years old. The price tag was indeed high with a cost of $36,000.<\/p>\n

At that price it makes me wonder if people actually consume the product or if it is purchased more as a collectible. Can you imagine drinking a tiny bit of that where each small glass is like say $500? I guess like most expensive things people are pretty passionate about their hobbies as this person seemed to get rather emotional after making his purchase.<\/p>\n
