That better be some damn good scotch

Because at 500 pounds a sip (about $850 USD) I'd probably have to kill myself afterwards...

LONDON (Reuters) - At 500 pounds a sip it is one of the world's most expensive tipples this Christmas.

For connoisseurs with the pocket, British drinks giant Diageo is selling a Johnnie Walker whisky blend at 14,000 pounds a bottle to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of the Scotsman who created the world's best-selling whisky brand.

The group which distills one-third of the world's scotch has selected Scotland's best whiskies, all over 30 years old and some as old as 70 years old, to create its 1805 anniversary pack -- containing just one bottle.


I can only imagine... served to me in a golden, bejeweled chalice by beautiful, young virgins... you know, something right out of History of the World.
