    I was thinking of nipping down to Allen's Restaurant on the Danforth in Toronto to try out their 50 year old Balvenie. Eh, what's that? It's $1,750 a glass? I'll stick to the 10 year old Bruichladdich I recently opened.

    Here's the story on Allen's acquisition of the Balvenie. clicky

    Wow. I find myself wondering what kind of restaurant can afford to have that on the bar shelf!

    The article suggests that publicity had a lot to do with it but for $30,000 you'd sure need a lot of it! Man, they must cringe every time a glass breaks in there! "That wasn't the ....? Oh thank God!"

    BTW, there is one more bottle left in Toronto. Did you want to go halvesies on it?

    At that price, etiquette should permit licking the inside of the glass.
