coconut brandy for how much?

[Ken Gargett]

yep, a million bucks a bottle.

Mendis Coconut Brandy — £600,000 ($1 million)

Released in 2007 Mendis Coconut brandy was the world’s first clear brandy distilled from coconut and matured in special Halmilla wood casks. Distributed by luxury brand Luxe Coterie, its first release was sold for $1 million, a bottle which was signed, numbered and dated by the House of Mendis’ founder, WM Mendis.

And I was struggling to share a 97 Grange for my birthday a few weeks back ...amongst 4.. Does the Mendis come in a brown paper bag ...so you can drink it the old fashioned way

[ptrthgr8]

And a straw. Don't forget the straw!

I'll supply the brown paper bags if you supply the coconut brandy!

Might have to float options on the stock market for the first Sting Meadery bottle of;

Manuka Honey Liquer -

Triple distilled fermented Manuka honey spirit aged in Virgin French Oak then European Walnut, infused with fresh black truffle, 24k edible gold leaf and sweetened with the Manuka honey it was originally fermented from.

Now gentlemen, that's what I call a $million dollar beverage

I don't think an Asian would have bought that at that price.

I wouldn't have thought anyone would buy a million dollar bottle of any recently produced product.

With exceptional historical or sentimental value perhaps...

I'm not so sure about that - possibly true for 99.9% of the people that actually have plenty of money, but otherwise......

That aside, if one has the means, then no harm no foul, but my knee jerk reaction was that there's one born every minute. And that the bottle resembles the Skinny Girl cocktail bottles

perhaps it has pride of place on a shelf, next to an original Behike humidor......

the point i was trying to make is that stupidity is not limited to the rich. it always amazes me that humanity has not wiped itself out many times over. perhaps we are the mammal version of cockroaches.

You & I wouldn't but some show-off from the middle kingdom might.

True. A wise woman once told me "Common sense is not common" !

[sengjc]

Uncommon sense?

[AussieCanuck]

....and the second bottle was given away for free in a draw. Bet the third bottle and every one produced from there on sells for $27.95.
