Aged liquors, wine, caviar, truffles, cigars, sushi... things which have no palatable enjoyment but seem to carry a hefty price tag.

No palatable enjoyment? You must be satisfied with generic brand ranch instead of hidden valley...

Agreed. All these bottled at 40% have me skeptical.

$600 at my local Costco. Looks like it's YMMV.

Your paying for the age and the scarcity. Someone had to give up the warehouse space to store this four decades and there's a limited amount.

I'd put money on a blind taste test that this would get beaten by other whiskeys that cost a fraction of the price.
