    That was the first Scotch Whiskey RR steered me to at the Flagstaff Games. What a great way to be introduce to Scotch.... and what a horrible way $85 a bottle . I always knew I had expensive tastes. Still that's why I haven't got any of the really expensive stuff in the triple digits, my school teacher pay will only support so much.... and I still have Kilts to by.

    Right now I'm sipping a Laphroaig 10, it's very nice. Well Cheers...

    Sip it, don't gulp it.

    Just to add a late choice.

    As long as I don't have to buy it by the case, nothing can beat Bruichladdich.

    I like Lagavulin too.

    For an "inexpensive" single malt, 10 year old Glenmorangie is a pretty good buy. Also if you like Islays, the McClelland's Islay is not bad (it's actually Bowmore re-branded), half the price of the Lagavulin, and more than half as good.
