I love McCallans single malt scotch whiskey. Whenever I finish a bottle, I feel no guilt about discarding the empty, unlike these new vodkas, rums, and tequilas.
The old, good quality liquor always seems to come in your typical bottle as well as label. You only pay for what's inside , and not the packaging.
Then the cocktail craze hit the yuppie genre. They weren't happy with the generic bottles and simple names. The savvy corporations were more then happy to please this segment, along with the outragous prices these simple minded souls would pay, to be satisfied.
The variety is mind boggling. One trying to out do the other; fighting for shelf space. The only thing in common is the high price.
If the product was that good they wouldn't have to dazzle with all the bullshit.

We yuppies recycle our bottles. We don't throw them away.

Has to be the glitz and glitter that yuppies are attracted to, like moths to light. It had to be yuppie Indians to sell New York for $24 in beads. So is there any coincedence that these fancy liquor bottles also run in the $20 range.
