Five most expensive whiskies you can buy online

Ready to try some high-end whiskies? Bottle Barn has a great selection when you buy whisky online in California. Several factors can contribute to a whisky's high price tag, including:

• Age - Older whiskies may be more expensive because they have been aged longer than most, which increases the amount of evaporation (known as the "angel's share") and reduces the volume of liquid in the cask, resulting in a more concentrated and complex flavor profile.
• Rarity - Whiskies that are produced in limited quantities or are no longer in production can be more expensive due to their rarity and the high demand from collectors.
• Production process - Whiskies that are produced using traditional methods, such as using pot stills or hand-mashing the grain, can be more expensive because they require more time and effort to produce.
• Cask type - Whiskies that are aged in rare or unique casks, such as sherry or port casks, can also be more expensive due to the added cost of sourcing and transporting these casks. 

Your favorite whiskies store California has lots of options, and they are easy to find online under the whisky section and sorting by price.
