[quote=Allan from Fallbrook][quote=meadandale]$45? Expensive?

I prefer Lagavulin to Laphroig and it’s almost 2x the price. Talk about expensive.[/quote]

Mead: Have you checked out Trader Joes? They have an impressive selection of single malts and their prices are pretty reasonable.

Also, Costco had a screaming deal on Lagavulin 16yo over the holidays. $56 a bottle (versus $85 in the stores).

They also had a Kirkland brand 20yo Speyside for $44.99, and it was excellent.[/quote]

I did happen to get in on the Costco deal…I got 4 bottles of Lagavulin…and 4 bottles of Pyrat rum, which was also on sale. Haven’t checked out single malts at Trader Joe’s…I’ll put that on my list. I have bought several of the kirkland scotches in the past and they’ve always been good. They had a 25YO a few years ago that was $70 and was actually Macallan…at half the price of Macallan.
