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 10 of blind taste at a $120 "Whisky Tasting
seminar". The presenter loves that part.

Only in Canada eh? Pity.
And all this from a rum snob....
Cheers, Russ

I have tried the 25 hr old at a scotch tasting. It was wonderful.
Macallan 12 yr old is overpriced but OK. It's sherry cask aged so
you have to like that taste.
Macallan uses the old casks to make some of the varieties of Famous
Grouse. Famous Grouse is a very reasonably priced yet drinkable blended.
If you want something single malt, peaty, and sherry cask aged that
is cheap, try Tomatin. It's $22 a bottle in my area.
Scotch is no different than wine or cigars or vodka. There is no
shortage of snobs and reviewers who want to tell you what you like.
Taste all you can and enjoy what you like that doesn't break the bank.
CHEERS!
