Richard Paterson, the master distiller of the uber-exclusive Scotch, said in the Dalmore 64 sale announcement, "People recognise that you have to pay a premium for true exclusivity, craftsmanship, quality and heritage."
So what does the estimated £20,000/€22,702 50ml dram of whisky taste like?
The Trinitas is made of the "rarest and oldest stocks of whisky in the world," over 140 years old.
According to Dalmore's tasting notes the "...bouquet is highly complex" with "notes of sweet raisins, rich Colombian coffee, crushed walnuts, bitter orange, grapefruit, sandalwood, white musk and Indonesian patchouli."
And, sippers are promised tasty waves of "sweet sultanas, figs, a caramelised topping of Seville oranges, apples, mangos and dates" with "vino dulce muscatel, marzipan, treacle toffee, soft liquorice, roasted coffee, truffles, walnuts and muscovado sugar" dancing on the tongue.
An American collector and buyer of the first bottle Mahesh Patel said "Whisky is my passion. I love it. I have over 1000 bottles in my collection, and The Dalmore Trinitas is now the jewel in the crown. It's a beautiful spirit."
There is one last bottle and it is reserved for The Whisky Show 2010 (TWS) taking place October 29-30 at The Brewery in London, England.

They forgot to mention the bitter-yet-salty taste of tears cried over now-curdling spilt milk at the realisation that the same money might have bought a half-decent double rifle.

I love the way you men can distill, reconfigure, and render any phrase to how it is connected to a double rifle. God made the Heavens, Earth, Man and Double Rifles.
