I was having dinner at the bar at Craftsteak in MGM Grand a few years ago. A guy sits a couple seats down, orders some kind of scotch and his food. It was slow so the bartender, the guy and myself are all BS'ing watching some baseball game and we get talking about the prices of all the weird top shelf stuff they have, how often people even order it and whatnot. The other guy's particularly interested in the older Macallans. He does a "F it, I'm in Vegas" and orders a glass of one of them, things are hazy now but it was in the range of $150-200. Pretty sure it was $200.
So the guy's sipping on his glass and the bartender comes back a couple minutes later and asks how it is. The guy shrugs and flatly says "tastes like $200 worth of regret". The disappointment was palpable

A quick google showed 4 bottles of this for sale across the country. Price range is $104k-$167k. So this is a good deal!!
…orrr prices for rare liquor is as subjective/scammy as obscure artwork.
