A bottle of Macallan 12 is about the same price and infinitely better, IMHO. Yeah, I'm not a blend person either. I'll drink blended, I just won't pay more than $30 for it. A bottle of Macallan 12 is about the same price and infinitely better, IMHO. I would take a $50 single malt over Walker Blue. Well said, completely agree. Anyone ever had this guy? I've heard good things Nope, but I'm a huge fan of anything cask strength. |

How about the Aberlour A'Bunadh? Varies a bit by batch but even the not so good ones are still great. |

Anyone ever have Glenlivet 21? It's about $150 a bottle and I'm thinking of asking the Mrs. to pick one up as a xmas present for me.

Delicious. First bottle I've had from The Glenlivet, always thought it was a bit overrated. I stand corrected.  |

I liked 15 the best. Saw that bottle in the state store this weekend while picking up wine for a birthday party and almost bought it. At $60 it seems like a good buy, but I was pressed for time and did not pull the trigger. |

 I'm currently on a Talisker binge. My goal is to drink every batch they have. So for I've checked off: 10 year - my basic go to whisky Storm - My favorite Dark storm - tried it at the airport but don't remember much Amoroso - Very nice, on the peat side Port Ruighe - Finished in port casks, a bit smoother than the Amoroso Up next: Distiller's Edition www.moraswines.com/shop/images/P/talisker.jpg |

Recent aquisitions: Scapa - 16 Y Jura Superstition Talsker Storm Coal ila 12 y |

I think the price of single malt here in the states is inflated in general. |

Favoritest time of the year because, among other things, it usually results in my getting lots of new scotch:  |

Was drinking some 18 YO Laphroaig last night. Talisker 18 is better, but it was pretty awesome.
