Four of us were sailing in Scotland about ten years ago and visited Oban, the source of Oban scotch. Being aware of the distillery, it was high on our priority list and we went for a tour. After we escaped, we visited a small pub on the second floor of a waterfront hotel and were confronted by a

Hi Robert, I gotta say that if you enjoy a 25 hour old scotch then it's no wonder you think an regular 12 year is overpriced :) I like your comment regarding the snobs, if people can be honest with themselves they can find bargains. Here is a cheap Canadian whisky that can place in the top 1
