I have just paid under $25 for a bottle of single malt scotch.

12 year old Tomatin.

This was either a very good idea or very bad idea. Will know more tomorrow.

1. I look forward to your review

'Cause Talisker's ain't free.

2. We will look forward to your report! (Hopefully you'll have at least some of

the bottle left, or else the report may be a bit late in arriving... )

As I recall, the Trader Joe's brand (Finlaggan) is quite good, and under $25. Now that the weather is cooling, it's time to get back into the Scotch closet - I'm hoping my parents took my 'hint' about Talisker and Lagavulin when they're out Christmas shopping...

3. Probably close to 10 years ago, I found a pre-Christmas display in a grocery store with...

... gift boxes of 12-year-old The MacAllan and two engraved rocks glasses. I think The MacAllan
was about $45/bottle then -- these gift sets were selling at $18 apiece. i bought all 6 bottles on
the display.
.
I only drank one of them, but 5 of my friends were very VERY happy with their gifts that year.

Coincidentally and fortuitously, The MacAllan was always my favorite single malt.

4. This isn't bad, really. Better than Bushmills.

I really am not muh of a scotch drinker, but this is not bad.

5. Tomatin is good stuff and a great buy

I used to find it at Trader Joes, but they no longer carry it. Lucky you!

6. Interesting. I'll look for Tomatin. So far I've found cheaper single malts to be a bit rough.

It's been my experience that for 25 clams, a better blended scotch is better than a 21-22 dollar single malt.

7. How does that compare with Cisco or Night Train?
