The practice of liquor distillation has existed for thousands of years, and as for the art of collecting these spirits? Some say that can be traced as far back as the 1400s. While we may not be able to enjoy a 600-year-old bottle, many spirits producers are leaning into the premium and ultra-premium trend by releasing their oldest and most impressive spirits to date. Brands like Scotland’s The Glenlivet and France’s Delamain both celebrated 200-year anniversaries with rare, small-production artisanal bottles, with hefty price tags to match. The Glenlivet 55-Year Old, the first in The Eternal Collection and the oldest expression ever for the brand, is priced at $55,000. Delamain’s prestige Grande Champagne cognac, L’Oiseau Rare or “Rare Bird,” launched this past June, and comes in a gold and gem-encrusted dame-jeanne. The blend comes from several of the vintages that the former cellarmaster put aside as “rare birds” over the course of his career, and is expected to bring in a similar figure at auction this December.

I’m happily shocked not to see Yamazaki on there...maybe that means I’ll be able to afford it again...

No Balvenie 21 year old? Wow.
And I’ve never understood why people buy astronomical numbers of astronomically priced alcohol to NOT drink them...
