The Thousand Dollar Shot of Scotch

You like Scotch? Did you hear about the auction that sold a rare bottle of 1926 Scotch whiskey for $54,000? It was a rare auction of booze, and not held in New York since Prohibition ended in 1933.

An anonymous collector dished out $54,000 for a bottle of whisky distilled at Macallan in Scotland in 1926, bottled in 1986 and rebottled in 2002. The Scotch had been expected to sell for between $20,000 and $30,000.


At those prices, you could almost put a down payment on a part-ownership of a bar, right?
