Excellent? No, not for a single malt.

Decent for 25 bucks a bottle? Absolutely.
We've got it! My dad prefers Glenfiddich 12 yr.

Laphroaig 10 year. $30 at Bevmo and Trader Joe's, if you have one near you.

Might be more then you were thinking of, but when something is this good (and you did also specify good) it really does seem like a bargain. This stuff could be sold for twice as much and it would be a deal.

Oh, I don't mean it's all horrible, but, compared to say, Irish Mist, or Tyrconnell it's not quite up to par. I'm a big fan of irish whisky, just trying to say that my experiance with 'high-end' scotch has been alot less then what I was hoping for.

Haha "Old Rarity". Honestly, did anyone read the latest Modern Drunkard? That stuff sounds rougher than an anal fisting.

It seems this is one of those "you can only have 2 out of 3" type deals

1. Good
2. Cheap
3. Scotch

I go for Kluny, although it's not too good anbd I think I spelled it bad. Buy it, drink it, get drunk. don't mind the taste.

Where are you shopping? That's cheap as hell for a bottle of Dalmore.
