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!

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.
