just came back from the "liquor mart" in boulder, and i've got to say i'm dissapointed. either everyone else has hookups, or more likely liquor is way overpriced here. still, i picked up a 10y.o. ardbeg for $50, and a 10y.o. aberlour for $30. got 20% off those prices, but that won't be a regular thing. gonna try the aberlour first.
you in denver? if so, where do you buy your scotch? and do you know a better place in the boulder area?
i found my lovely "lismore" that's $13 at TJ's and it's $20 here so obviously something's going on. and i'll wager dollars to doughnuts it's taking advantage of all the damn trustfund college kids
oh, and my newly-beloved lagivolen 16 was $80
after trying both, i gotta say they're nice but don't think i'd buy either again. the aberlour10 is smooth, but not complex enough for me, reminds me off the cheap lismore but with more harshness. the ardbeg10 is very sharp and peaty, the color is very light. not quite as complex as i'd like. all in all, after the lagavulin16 i had the other night, i wish i'd bought that for $80 than these two for $50 and $30. all's well though, these are lovely, and i'll be enjoying them for awhile
