What advantage would 100 year old scotch have besides subjective taste?

Snobbery. It may taste as good, but if it becomes available too all, it will be judged to be inferior.

Diamonds are higher rated the clearer they are, except for when they are man-made, too.

That's what makes it a joke, right? Ah, the cleverness that goes over people's heads...
Oh, is that what that wooshing sound was?
Probably. You can fix that by standing taller though.
