wild stuff. so if anything, id prefer younger for more body/dry and less fruit.
IIRC ive seen expensive calvados by bottle on menus, but not really expensive by shot.

The limited edition Cuvee 1888 is a rare blend of Frapin’s most precious reserves, including many made from the legendary Folle Blanche, an extinct grape varietal no longer used today.

re worth it, all i can say is >
2001 grange was well worth $220/bottle
25yo sherry oak macallan is well worth $50/shot, over 18yo sherry oak from $15/shot
four seasons washington has tasting/flight including a $2000 single malt, but not sure i want to try it and find out i dont like it..
there need to be more places that serve small portions, like wine by the ounce (only from machines??) or liquor by quarter ounce (like scotch bar at willard hotel)
