[QUOTE="alfredo_buscatti, post: 246862, member: 36"] I can get very good bourbon for ~$30 for 750 ml. For me this is Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage or Woodford Reserve; in scotch McClelland's single malts are ~$25. For me McClellands is great scotch, especially the Islay. Yet the typical single malt is at least $50, and they ascend rapidly; most are more in the range of $60-$90. I think NC has a heavier tax than other states, but that's all I can get. I think I can get it cheaper online but then must pay shipping. So my question is how can these upper-end single malts be worth two and three times as much as what I now regard as fine spirits? Perhaps their advocates drink an oz one or twice a week when they really want to savor the best. Is this like some out-of-production, fabled tobacco they you sip from only sporadically. You will reply that they have fabulous flavor and complexity, in which case I may yet venture forth. [/QUOTE]
