If you need help setting up a Facebook account in order to participate in this contest, here’s a simple step-by-step guide to getting started!

Happy Bidding!

Would you sell your trash on eBay? How about your ex-wife’s wedding dress? Or 2% of your future income to put you through college? There are some people who have!

People sell some pretty crazy stuff on eBay. Per a friend’s suggestion, I decided to check out how much bottles of whisky are selling for on eBay. In my opinion, people are either very, very passionate or very, very kooky to pay as much as these bottles are going for.

Sadly, no one has deemed Mount Royal Light lucky enough to be sold on eBay…or maybe that’s a good thing?

And now for the 2 most expensive bottles of whisky I could find on eBay… You be the judge, would you consider the buyers passionate or kooky?

#2

$16,500.00. Yes, you read that correctly. Sixteen-thousand-five-hundred dollars.

According to The Liquor Cellar, this single malt comes from a sherry cask at The Balvenie Distillery that was in the warehouse since January 26, 1952. The nose notes read: “Complex nose, intense with toffee, marzipan, sweet oak, raisins and nuts.” And the palate notes read: “Developing from butterscotch sweet to clover honey, liquorice and chocolate elegantly balanced with drying oak and spice.”

All the power to whoever shells out $16,500 to taste butterscotch, clover, honey, liquorice and chocolate all in one! That sounds like the flavors you could find in my great-grandma’s candy bowl way back when! Just need some jelly beans in there and we’re golden!

 

#1

Not $19,000.00. $18,999.00. I can’t even imagine that much money going towards something that’s only 750 mL!

The Liquor Cellar’s description said this Macallan Lalique III single malt whisky is 57 years old and “it comes in a Lalique’s Finest Cut crystal decanter which, of course, are a limited edition with only 400 being made.” (Of course!) It’s the second oldest Macallan whisky ever released.

If you are so fortunate to have an extra $18,999 to spend on this fashionable decanter containing a 57-year-old whisky, you would taste “sweet, dried fruits with wood spices,” and smell “dried fruit, heady, aromatic, black cherry, sandalwood, peat smoke.” Hopefully it’s worth it!

Just so you know, the retail price of a 1.75 liter of Mount Royal Light is about $23.00 (depending on the tax & location it’s sold). You could buy more than 825 bottles of Mount Royal Light for the same price as that Macallan Lalique bottle!
