I"m a Friend of Laphroaig and have my "plot" on Islay. Never tried or even seen the 32 yr old. How much a bottle?

If you can find one, probably in the order of a thousand pounds..

The jump in ageing from 12 to 18 years in the barrel is significant, so I would suggest the 7 years does make a difference.
The Laphroiag distillery here in Scotland is worth a visit in you're ever this side of the pond. They let you taste all kinds of rare malts after the tour.
A whisky joke:
Angus went to the liquor store to buy himself a bottle of malt whisky. He tucks his bottle into his pocket, thanks the clerk, and heads home on foot.
At a crossing in the road, old Angus whistles a happy tune as he steps out and is immediately hit by an oncoming car. He's flung into the air, smashes into the street and is knocked out cold. He comes to, lying in a pool of liquid in the middle of the road. He's not sure he can feel his legs.
"Oh no! No, no, God, no!" Angus cries.
He feels the liquid around his body, rubbing his fingers in it. He brings his fingers up to his line of sight and has a good look at them.
"Thank Christ!" Angus proclaims. "It's only blood!"

are you familiar with this for Laphroaig?
You may have read how the Johnston brothers had to fight three times to protect our precious and unique water supply. The final solution involved buying the land that our water ran through. So we decided that every Friend of Laphroaig should have (a lifetime's lease) their own personal square foot of Islay from a portion of this land. Each plot is registered and you may visit it (or view your plot on our members website). And more importantly collect your rent from us – a dram of the finest
I have my plot already. Can't wait to get over there one day and check it out. When I was in Scotland for business years ago, I wasn't able to get to Islay. Was able to play some golf though which was a real treat.

Worked at a winery for a couple years. I rarely buy the stuff. More of a whiskey/beer guy. I'd take home a case or two of the bottom of the barrel stuff free, let it settle and good to go. Would taste test quite often on the job. Couldn't get enough hours so left that place. Everything from pruning vines to making the wine. I liked it though.

Not a snob, my sister is tho... Such a fucking snob! She's been going to/teaching wine classes for a few years now trying to be a sommelier I guess we all need hobbies. But she dose get a bunch of banging wine, we don't get trashed there is like a gauntlet of questions before we sip.. Color, leg, initial smell, open it up... Blah blah either way I found I like red.. Crema is a favorite of mine but too expensive to get drunk on...
Black ink is my fucking jam tho!
$10 a bottle and I don't get hangovers from it.. Plus it's fucking cool as hell

never liked wine, dont know why, i just cant get past the toxic alcohol taste and smell to get the flavour.
once i got super fruity NO alcohol taste whatsoever and i've never been able to get it back ??? weird.
i'll never forget the taste though.
beer tastes like metallic blood as well .... even weirder, but it gets me drunk so i get past the bad taste.

Sorry to be a party pooper.

surely you all know this? its a common fact high priced items attract a sense of 'tastes better'
TASTE, MONEY AND POWER.
What would be the difference in taste from a $350 bottle or a $600 bottle ? its madness. people buy $1000 bottle because a $350 is either too cheap or tastes shit, non of it makes sense even for a 60 year old adult to fall for this.
life sucks lol
