Hey big spender, have $2,600 burning a hole in your pocket?
Vancouver’s Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel will take your dough and give you an ounce of whiskey in return.
Earlier this month the hotel “won” a raffle to buy a bottle of rare Balvenie 50 scotch. It was the only bottle of the 50-year-old whiskey made available in Canada.
Starting Feb. 12, the Pacific Rim will pass on its good luck to its Lobby Lounge customers by selling one-ounce drams of Balvenie 50 for $2,600. According to a Fairmont Pacific Rim release, the scotch will be served “in your very own handcrafted and specially numbered‘collector’s edition Baccarat crystal glass.”

“We often host a sophisticated clientele in The Lobby Lounge who enjoy the finer experiences in life. This scotch is in itself a part of history and highlights years of elegant craftsmanship. It’s very rare that an opportunity like this comes along, and it represents our ongoing commitment to being the best lounge in the city and offering a unique experience for our guests,” Grant Sceney, head bartender at Fairmont Pacific Rim, said in a release.
The Pacific Rim stands to make a tidy profit of $20,000 if they sell all 25 ounces (25 x $2,600 = $65,000) in their $45,000 bottle of Balvenie 50.
