I wouldnβt consider a $50 bottle of scotch to be fancy. Just high quality. I was more referring to $1,000 bottle of wine or $5000 bottles of scotch.
Personally I donβt have a mansion currently but Iβd like one because I have 7 people and a dog living in my home lol and could use some more space. A mansion isnβt cold if you fill it with a big family.
They eventually move out, tho. that's always the thing. Mansions aren't usually designed to downsize well.
Our family has a two-apartment house with a shared garden, and we leave the interior-apartment doors in the stairwell unlocked. That way you can huddle down in one apartment and expand into the second when there's more people, or rent it out.
Like this.
Thatβs too European of a concept for me. lol as an American itβs big house. Big guns, big fence, big truck and lots of space between you and the neighbors.

yeah, i want to live in a place where i can't hear my neighbours shooting
lol we donβt shoot guns in our backyards
My neighbors shoot in the forest or at the range. π
what i meant was that i'd rather have my neighbours over the edge of the horizon π
I mean, it's over 4200 ftΒ².
How big is a mansion? Like a castle or a small manor house? π€
Ah, mansion over 5000 ftΒ². Good. We're still the poors. π
If you go to the Highlands distilleries, even Speyside, it's rarely more than a middle class person could spend and the REALLY expensive Scotch didn't taste noticeably better. Same with wine.
So, then I agree.
A lot of that price differential is marketing, I think.
single malts are definitely better, glenfiddich, glen morangie... they usually are also 12 years, which probably matters more than anything else

Also, just a nice drive up there.
Fun fact: I'm from the sept that started the Talisker distillery on Skye.
(I think it tastes awful, tho.)
I felt obliged to go there and try to drink some, but my husband had to finish it because I was like, that'll put hair on my chest, good grief.
yeah, talisker was meh, dalwinnie (sp?) was ok... i tasted glenfiddich first time when i was like 18, me and my friends drank a bottle my mate nicked from his university professor dad's cabinet... and yes we smashed the bottle after too!
150-250$ you get very solid scotchs
