This is an average Scotch, and I'm glad I only bought the 375 mL for $24 because this is certainly overpriced. Usually price is a marker of rarity, but in the case of the biggest name Scotches on the market, price is a sign of marketing and gouging. This is a fine basic single malt but there's no way in hell I consider this a worthwhile purchase of $48 for the 750 mL bottle in NC. I can get numerous better Scotches around $40 and so many bourbons less than that. Of the recent Scotch purchases I've made I'd say this is the worst of them. Since Glenlivet is so widely available I'd suggest trying it at a bar first.
