I used to balk at high-price bottles.  But I did the math once on a per-ounce cost of a good craft beer compared to an expensive bottle of whiskey.  What I realized was that the beer I was buying was comparable in price (based on my drink size) to a bottle of booze between $100-150.  Now I'm a sipper, not a slammer, but it definitely made me realize that $80 or $100 for "something special" wasn't really that crazy at the end of the day.  

I was in Cincy the past week visiting family and had some Sycamore small batch bourbon.  I'd never even heard of it till my brother pulled out the bottle.  Super cherry to me upfront on the first sip.  Like sucking on a maraschino cherry almost.  Really enjoyed that pour, and the price point is solid, too.  

Flying out of CVG yesterday (it was National Bourbon Day), they had some special release bottles at Cork n Bottle, but I was in a hurry with kids in tow and didn't linger, so I'm not sure what all was available or the pricing.
