I'm not saying this MacAllen is an escape of this, but there are plenty of people who buy and keep whiskey as an investment asset, and it can be pretty reliable by all accounts.
So I guess it could be 'worth' 27k in some sense, just not to drink it. The most expensive whiskey I tried was I think £1000 bottle (sample at a whiskey festival, I didn't buy it), and it just tasted like pencil sharpenings to me.
