I Think I Just Found What I Want For Christmas

This from 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.

Using XE.com currency converter, and based on todays exchange rate, one bottle of that whiskey will run you a cool $24,067.23 and a sip will run you $859.51. That better be some damn good whiskey!
