    Let's see. One could purchase more than 700 bottles of 12 year old Glenlivet for that price. Not sure the 50 year old is 700 times better than the 12. But then I tend to be a reverse snob.

    Depending on how much of the 12 year old you were drinking, it wouldn't really matter.

    25 year old is pretty damn smooth, but even that is dear at the price (I certainly can't afford it, but a friend of the family had some on hand). Maybe 50 year old is twice as good? And therefore justifies being ten times as expensive?

    Perhaps the quality improves exponentially, and not geometrically, and thus the price, being directly related to the quality, likewise grows exponentially.
