Whisky reccomendation...

[Rob Wright]

Ok chaps help me out here. What would you, across the Atlantic, consider a low,medium and high price for a bottle of single malt Scotch? Lets assume an exchange rate of,say, 1 Dollar 50 to our Pound.

Pricing is going to vary based on local taxes and distributor costs.

I can get the following for:

Speyburn 10 $22 14.3 pounds
Glenlivet and Glenfiddich 12 $32-$35 21.3-23.3 pounds
Glenfiddich 15 $44 29.3 pounds
McAllan 12 $38-44 25.3-29.3 pounds
laphroaig 10 $35-42 23.3-28 pounds
laphroaig 15 $64 42.6 pounds
Oban 14 $67 44.6 pounds
Springbank 10? $58-62 38.6-41.3 pounds

Those are the prices I can recall off the top of my head at the moment.

Good website, though I had to laugh at the claim that their use of triple distillation is unique. (It is how Irish whiskies are traditionally made )

Perhaps they DO NOT conceder the "Irish whiskies" worthy of mention. ??

With my limited income, I stick with the lower priced singles, abt USD 24-30,/750ms such as Lismore and the McClelland's Highland, Lowland, and Islay. There are a couple of blended low priced ones which I have found to be nice for the price USD 10 15/750ml which are Inverhouse and Passport.

I have been given, from time to time some of the highly advertised "premium" types, both singles and blends, and to my taste, anyway, found them somewhat disappointing. My favourites actually are Scappa and Lismore. Two very different ones. (Prices are in the NC State liquor stores, and selections are rather limited.)
