For Christmas I would like this...

It's only a small dent in your finances, and I would enjoy it a whole lot more than some of your friends...

On a more serious note, I know from some of the recent threads on here that there are some whiskey fans on Dakka. But a million pounds for a bottle? That's fething outrageous...

That had better be some smoooooooooooth whiskey!

But if I were to get such a bottle, it certainly wouldn't be to give away! I might give a few VERY good friends a glass, but that's it!

Surely they could find a picture of it that isn't so... JPEG-y...

Unless it's just my screen where the picture of the bottle is essentially one large pixel.

EDIT: Ah, never mind, didn't spot it was on the mobile site.

Think of all the boxed wine you could buy with that much money though.

I have some homemade beer that I will gladly sell for a million dollars. I'll even hand deliver it.

It's goooood stuff... any takers?

To be fair

its 12 different drinks and a cabinet to go with it

Ok, but even my limited maths says that makes it around £80000 a bottle! £80k? That's 12 brand new Porsche 911's for feths sake...

It just blows my mind that someone out there will think 'I need that in my life'..

It blows my mind when some people are willing to spend monies on stars.......

Now.. i can see a massive corporation buying one of these. that's for sure. probably some flavor of middle eastern or Russian oil tycoons.

Not a bad deal for a cabinet, 12 hand made decanters and the twelve bottles.


Or I could spend the money on warhammer, it should be enough to buy a decent 2000 point force.

With baited breath...

Wow, that's nuts. It's been proven that expensive liquor doesn't mean better.

One of my favourite ever experiments was when a group of social scientists took a bunch of cheap supermarket plonk, decanted it into bottles from super-rare and expensive vintage wine, and served both those and unmodified plonk bottles to a group of really snobby restaurant sommeliers and wine critics, who promptly swore blind that the supermarket plonk was akin to the vile squeezings from Satan's workout jockstrap, while the same supermarket plonk in fancy bottles was ambrosia flown to their table direct from Mount Olympus by angels. Even after they were told they point-blank refused to believe it was the same wine, hah.

People's impressions of things especially food and drink are influenced by factors like price, placement and the like.
