I feel your pain. I went to buy a bottle of Glenfarclas 12 the other day and it has DOUBLED in price in the past year. $100 a bottle now?!?!? No thanks.Ending the night with a dram of Lagavulin 16. Deliciously smoky but hard to justify the price for me. It’s insane how much the price has risen recently, even just the past five years. I’ve been experimenting, trying to find somewhat comparable scotch at a lower price to scratch that itch, and have been enjoying Laphroaig 10 quite a bit. Here in Ontario, Lagavulin 16 is $185. Craziness!
Had to get that off my chest apparently!
Karjala beer? I enjoy the Säkkijärven polkka so much I've got to give it a tryWish they had these here, it would save trips (100 pack of beer)...

I was going to suggest looking into Ledaig 10, but see its been mentioned. I love Ledaig pronounced (Lechaig). They do a cheaper non age statement Sinclair series, finished in Rioja casks which is also lovely. Port Charlotte 10yo is also worth looking into.Ending the night with a dram of Lagavulin 16.

TheIronMonkey I like your taste in whisky, for someone based in New York. You know your stuff, saying this as someone based in Scotland.Give the Ledaig 10 Year (from the Isle of Mull) a try—in New York, it’s about $55.00 US and will give you many of the notes you enjoy in Lagavulin and Laphroaig.

I am not going to get political, but rather talk about taxation. Doing a currency conversion check, we pay almost exactly the same for Ledaig 10yo her in Scotland which is scary and we co sidereal that decent value. £40 a bottle for something like Ledaig 10yo is considered good value.
My friend, also from Scotland visited his wife's family in France in the summer. He sent me the prices of what they pay for scotch whisky. I told him to get me a couple of bottles' because it was around 2/3rd's of what we pay for the same stuff here.
This one might have to be relegated to chicken marinade
