What is the most expensive short you've bought in a uk pub?

[GrumpyGregry]

I was tired and emotional, it had been a long fraught week, and you only live once....

one shot of Middleton Rare at £14.75 a measure. That sobered me up sharpish. But I still went ahead and bought it.

(it isn't the most expensive whisky they sell but it is the most expensive whiskey they sell, it is, buy a factor of about two the most expensive drink, pound per millilitre I've ever bought with my own money in a UK pub)

and in yours....?

That would make very little sense if said verbally, but the extra 'e' gives the whole phase meaning.

I bought a brandy for about £25 when very drunk. I was annoyed in the morning, it could have tasted of meths for all I remember of it.

I once paid £105 (I think it was that, it may have been £107, but it was one of the two) for a brandy, not at a pub though, it was at Gidleigh Park.

£700 for a Japanese whisky in a private club in Akasaka, Tokyo. Fortunately it was on my host's tab not mine.

I've never gone over the Teacher's/Wood's/Hennessy sort of level, pubs just aren't the sort of place to appreciate anything more at the prices they charge. (Even though I once noticed in a pub not very far from Waterloo Station Ch. HF 2003 at £36 per glass!!!)

Assos.

Well I am just pouring myself a glass of CdR Villages 'Les Combes St Sauveur'. 3 euros a bottle and excellent stuff.

 

[Red Light]

Assos.

Bless you!

When rather pissed in my favourite real ale pub (The Bon Accord) last year, I paid £27 for a single of some 1966 Whisky (Highland Park I think ).

It tasted of polished wood and was absolutely gorgeous and smooth - if all Whisky tasted like this did, then it would be the most popular drink on the planet!

That is by far and away my worst offence.

I once went to a strip club in London (this doesn't happen very often I swear! My mate dragged me there and it was free to get in) I was on the VIP list so all the 'chardonnay' was free. However whilst sat on a table I later realised I shouldn't have been sitting on, I noticed these open kinda flower pot bottles in the middle of the table and I proceeded to pour out a tumblers worth thinking it was water. Turned out it was vodka! And what's more a bottle of vodka in this place cost £200! And I'd poured out a third of the bottle into this tumbler. Was an interesting night that's all I'll say.
