A hair-brained idea inspired by our last Scotch adventure

Alexandria, VA Icrontian
So during the last major event (St. Patties I believe?), Lynx and I discussed how awesome it would be to drink a single malt Scotch that had been distilled longer than we were old. This is a pretty tall order and a dream that becomes exponentially more expensive with time (and approaches impossible past the 30yr barrier).
Come EPIC, I will be laying down $100 of my own cash to get this ridiculously expensive adventure started. All those who would like to pitch in are welcome, ideally we can find a way to split the remainder of the cost somewhat evenly among participants.
So, who wants to join me in being able to say that they've drank a Scotch that has been distilled longer than they've been alive!

Personally, I'll be looking around for something in the more oaky/woody spectrum as I tend to prefer it to the heavy peat flavored Scotches.
Certainly you can make it up for the weekend, can't you? C'mon!
Prag, This is something I would love to accomplish, obviously. I don't know yet how much money I'll be able to pool since I'm unemployed in California, it depends on how the job search is looking by then among a few other things. I am definitely interested.
I too prefer oaky scotch to peat. No particular thoughts on what type, though I think I'd like to try a Macallan. If Lagavulin makes a 30yr, that would be a great scotch as well. I tried the 16 year, had a wonderful full body flavory with an oaky finish.
