Macallan sells for $54,000

I think I've had the alcohol that has the gold flakes floating in it- so I guess I have eaten gold. But I don't think I'd pay $25,000 for it for dinner either!

So if the alcohol can be rebottled, then how can you be sure that it is really what it claims to be? I mean, I could take a glass of the real stuff, add in more scotch from another year, rebottle it and resell it. How would anyone know?

Not a clue - it probably has to be certified or something after the rebottle.

ETA: According to this (S 96-b) you have to have a permit to recondition liquor. I'm not sure how that stops someone from doing it without a permit, and how they would prove it anyway.
