Late last year, a hidden trove of whisky was discovered in a cellar room deep within a 13th century Scottish castle. The liquid was subsequently tested and determined to have been distilled back in 1833, making it the oldest known scotch in existence. Now two dozen bottles of it are going under the hammer in a November auction.
It honestly blows my mind that the oldest whiskey on the planet is only from 1833. I dint know why but it feels like there should be more and older.
What can I say, humanity likes to party. All the booze is gone.
I’m kinda glad because it means it got drunk. I hate seeing good whisky/ey sit on a shelf.
Is old better?
Remember, whoever buys this, for whatever price, feels like they’re entitled to that money while children go without: food, water, shelter, electricity, and education.
They also have armies of useful idiots to defend them in the vain hopes they can join them.
Can’t wait for the worlds worst person to buy it
Hey it’s your boy tik-tok Keith I just brought this Whiskey, and we’re going to pour it down the sink
I don’t have the money for it.
Scotch 1/4 as old as me costs $50. Scotch nearly half as old as me costs $250. Scotch as old as me costs $35k. Following that progression to four times as old as me suggests those bottles will command a sum that could change the course of human history by eliminating hunger or curing diseases or colonizing Mars.
It’s just a transfer of money, not expenditure of resources. The money doesn’t disappear when whoever owns the scotch gets it. Wasting natural resources and labor is much different and worse.

There is the awful part of me who hopes someone accidentally breaks the bottle before it is sold.
Reminds me of a movie, ‘The Freshman’ with Marlon Brando and Matthew Broderick. The Mafia tells people that they can eat endangered animals for $10,000.00 a plate. Naturally, there’s a line of decadent yuppies a mile long waiting to get into the secret restaurant. [Spoiler] it’s all goat meat, because who has ever tasted what real rhino tastes like.
Would be a king to come with oranges I forgot in the fridge last winter.
