    $45 twice, 1st time for a bomber of Baladin Xyauyù Etichetta Rame
    2nd time for a bomber of Scaldis Prestige.
    Both were incredible and I didn't feel ripped off.

    Most expensive I've ever purchased was a bottle of 2011 Utopias at $185. Splurged as a bday present for myself and I don't regret it one bit.

    Second most I've paid was about $30 ea on separate occasions for Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze Golden Blend (12.7 ounce), Great Divide Barrel Aged Old Ruffian, and some of the different FiftyFifty Eclipses this past release but I feel like they've all been completely worth the money!

    I paid $40 for two Hill Farmstead bottles but that included a tip for the friend that picked them up for me.

    ~$15 in the late 90s for a bottle of Westvleteren 12 at The Map Room in Chicago (not sure how they had it). For the time, that was a hella lot! More recently though, I guess it'd have to be $35 for a bottle of Fou'Foune at a bar in Brussels and the Westvleteren brick of 6 for ~$90. Single bottle from a store...probably a $30 one of something. Single beer haul, probably $200-250.

    If we're talking cost per oz then definitely DBD @$35/375ml (I know $15 went to charity, but I still had to shell out $35 to get the damn bottle, so I say it counts!). If we're talking just straight $$$ then DDG @$41.
