Hi

That is pricey. I just bought some for $70 at bevmo but just two years

ago the same bottles cost $50. This may be supply and demand and work

but also it is the $US dropping against the euro.

Laphroaig 10 is much cheaper and as 'medicinal' or more so than

Lagavulin or Laphroaig 15 but it is not for the faint of palate. Look

for it in a bar, it often shows up.

J, can i ask where you are? here in northern nj EVERYTHING is very

expensive compared to much of the rest of the country.

i also looked for laphroaig in the same liquor store but didn't see it.

my husband noticed that the tiny bottle of chivas that came with the

one i bought is chivas 18! can't wait to try it. (the one i bought is

12). if it's any good i'll buy a bigger bottle if it's not exhorbitant.

probably a good idea to try laphroaig next time we are out to eat in a

place with a bar. thanks for the suggestion.

Hi,

I'm in San Francisco, CA. Not exactly cheap living here either. Ya,

make a project out of it. Find a bar or restaurant with a good

selection of single malts and try a few. Then you know what bottles

you might like to buy. They really have varying tastes. To your health!

cheers,
