Default Drink it or save it???

I dont know if I can post a non bike thread here but I guess I'll find out.
I just read about a bottle of Macallen 1929 whiskey selling at auction for $2.7 MILLION !!!
It got me thinking........would you do with it what it was made for.....namely.....to be drunk?
Or save it as an irreplaceable investment?
Once it's gone......it's gone!!
I'm more of a bourbon guy, so I'd probably save it.
But I'm quite sure I'll never have to make that decision.

Think you should have used the drop down. How did you decide tech tips? Probably better at off topic would have been a better choice.

If I had a bottle of Tequila worth 2.7 million, I would sale it.

With that 2.7 million, I would buy a lifetime supply of Don Julio.

Now of course like the lottery, that would probably ruin one's life. However, you probably would not notice it.

Drink half of it and then top it off with water, put the cap back on along with the price tag. Sell it to the first offer. Move to where there is sand and sunshine year round.
What the hell , we are dreaming are we not ?

25 shots to a bottle. Have a party for rich idiots and charge 250k per shot. Double your money.

Sold in a heartbeat. Can do a heck of a lot of better things with that much money, and I don't care how good it is, I couldn't justify cracking something like that open and drinking it given the value. I mean, I could sell it and buy 90,000 bottles of the Rye I drink.

Normal folks do not buy stuff like that. Lottery winners may buy something like that, just to drink it and **** off collectors. Like the guy who buys an expensive painting and the puts it in the bathroom.
