@jdriip $50 for this is a good deal, imo. By me, it sells for about $79. If you like Smokey/peaty, Ardbeg or Laphroaig 10 you can typically find for $49. For sherried, for about $59, Glendronach 12. Balvenie 12 is a safe choice for about the same. Harder to find in the same price range, Glen Garioch, again in my opinion, is good too. These prices are relative to me. Enjoy the 15. Still one of my favorites. I have a soft spot for Glenlivet. Cheers!
@Scott_E thanks for the feedback. I got it at the local Costco for $50, which I thought was a good deal. Do you have any suggestions for a scotch in the same price range?
A good solid pour. The negative is it’s about $10-15 overpriced.
