Also, as for liking whiskey or not, something like that is definitely not going to be for everyone, either at the beginning of their whiskey journey or ever. Relatedly, try to avoid the mistake that just because something is highly-sought after, rare, and expensive that it's going to be proportionately better than cheaper stuff you're normally consuming. A lot of the price you're paying for rare stuff is based just on that: rarity. After a certain point, you're just going to run out of space to be double, triple, quadruple, etc., etc. better than a good $80-100 bottle.
