also had some Gibsons and J&B Rare, but nobody cares about those

Of course those are Canadian prices, so... you do the math. Anyway, I might have been a little off on my $75/bottle for Oban, but I have a feeling it's not under $50 here. Gotta love the Canadian sin-tax.

And all this talk of collecting various bottles has me with the urge to go shopping!
here's the :LCBO listing for MaCallan 50 year old, 750 mls: C$8799. Hmmm it does say Rare (http://www.lcbo.ca/lcbo-ear/ProductResultsController

The normal bottle: 10 year old is C$69.95


I have heard it said that when talking about scotch, and the number of years, the first 12 years is quality, the rest is advertising.
