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

Reason: just found the other thread with this story. oops.
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?
