Smoke Head or Sherry Bomb?

As a subset of this discussion, it is curious to me that many audiophiles might think nothing of spending thousands on weirdo tweaks of dubious origin, yet balk at the price of say, 18 year vs 10 years old whiskey.

Or have some of you also spent thousands on booze?

I am not a big whiskey drinker, but I have tried Glenlivet 12 and Glenlivet French Oak. I did not like the French Oak at all, which makes me more of a smoke head?

Regards,

Actually I would be very intrigued to know what some of these rarities cost!

From time to time, I try to spend more money on wine, hoping to find the best point on the value curve.

But so far I find it much less complicated to find and select good audio components than good drinks.

On Monday, a cold, rainy night I was trying to remember the thread, but could only decide on a 10 year Glenmorangie which so far seems like it was a good idea.

$38 at my local discounter, so I hope not the Bose Wave Radio of single malts, but with the savings vs. Rja's suggestions, I can buy a new car and stereo.
