A $38,000 bottle of Scotch whiskey, The Macallan Fine and Rare Collection, 1926, made the top of Forbes Magazine's list of the most expensive whiskies in the world. Bottles of the stuff are sold out, but apparently you can still get a $3,000 dram in some restaurants and bars. Coming in second, at a perfectly respectable $10,000 a bottle, is a 1939 Macallan. Forbes' resident boozehound Nick Passmore tries to put some of these outrageously priced bottles in context by describing the current movement towards not only collecting, but actually drinking and appreciating ultra-premium spirits. Unfortunately, like other Forbes lists, you have to use a painfully clunky separate browser window to view information on each bottle.Forbes lists most expensive whiskies

The best part is that there was enough demand for a $38,000 bottle of hooch to sell out the entire inventory.
I aggree, the useability of the Forbes lists is so poor that I $3,000 dram of whiskey after all of that frustration.

It is really amazing that there would be people who would spend with this one bottle of whisky. Here's another site you might want to look at to see some more very expensive items. Thank you.
