According to The Wall Street Journal, sales of super-premium liquors costing $150 or more a bottle were the fastest growing category in the U.S. last year, with revenue rising 18% to $2.19 billion.

Diageo (the brand’s parent company) has also commissioned a series of digitally enhanced ads by Warren du Preez and Nick Thornton-Jones, a London-based artistic team whose past work includes collaborations with Icelandic songstress Björk.
Chris Parsons, Diageo’s vice president of scotch marketing, said people making less than $100,000 like to do things that make them feel like millionaires, like buying a unique piece of art, or indulging in a super-premium scotch.
