there are some people for whom that taste is very much worth it.

You are correct, but to be clear, it's not so much that tasting this scotch is a life changing experience; it's more that to these people, 27k is just chump change.

Also, stuff like this is often purchased not to drink, but as an investment.

It's also about knowing that it's so exclusive that regular people can't experience it. Take away the pricetag and it's isn't nearly so appealing.

Veblen product, innit
