I figured being in some two bit convenience store right next to the cancer sticks, that bottle of whatever it is, is supposed to be marked $7.99, and someone just went willy nilly with the price gun haha! 
Chris, you didn't get the prices on those Marlboro's in your pic.
I'd bet they are close to the booze price out there in Cali!

well worth it
I've bought some of the XO in Cognac and Reserve in Crown Royal and it gets up there. 18 year old Crown is fantastic but it's like anything else; gets better with time.
Don’t drop that bottle in the parking lot on the way to the car. 
How long does it have to not sell before the owner can uh.... dispose of it ... and write it off as a business loss.... 
"O.F.C is one of the most collectible bourbons ever..." I thought you drank the stuff?
Do you really live in a 'no man's land" or are there 200 acre estates just over every hill which you cannot see?
Any such bottle is for either impressive gifting or a long-shot on the part of the store owner hoping to get the right foreign language tourist who's stir crazy from desert driving and who's itching to buy something.
Also, there are limits to how long anything can "age". Corks leak. you can see dropped levels in squirrelled-away bottles of booze which are still sealed. You can also smell the escaped alcohol in seldom opened liquor cabinets. Also, many products just turn with time.
I knew a gal who kept an odd service tray which featured two glasses, an ice bucket which had never been used and a decanter filled with turned brandy. Apparently the nursing honor student didn't get the concept of oxidation. When I told her the booze had turned into paint remover, she wouldn't believe me......until she asked a food prep friend. Then the space wasting tray vanished.
A person in a one room apartment dedicating all that space to a display of crystal, is image driven.

I'll take a box of Marlborough Lights and might as well throw in a bottle of OFC....
There are expensive houses in the city but they are on the complete opposite side of town. They are on smaller lots than us .I don't think those folks would drive over here just to buy booze at a gas station .
The house nearest the blue dot is me

Personally almost anything/everything Buffalo Trace puts out is hard to get where I am. Took me a year to find a bottle of Blanton’s, bought it and was disappointed.
I’ve only seen Eagle Rare in my area once. Bought some, love it.
And plain old Buffalo Trace I’ve seen three times in my area. Bought it for $28 bucks, liked it.
And that’s all I’ve ever seen from Buffalo Trace. No Stagg Jr (ever). No Taylor (ever).
When I asked a liquor salesman if indeed Americans' alcohol consumption soared during the pandemic as news reports claimed, he rolled his eyes in affirmation.
I wonder if these super expensive products rode the same wave.

I guess as a non drinker I don't get it. 5 of those bottles would pay for my new well I need.

$8000 
. Man I like me an alcoholic drink every now and again but I’m not paying anywhere near that for one haha. Maybe $15-$30 tops for a bottle like that lol 
. I have no idea what it goes for these days but you’d have to get a loan just to get that.
