Here's another 'better than JW Blue or the Big Mac' the Rare Malts bottling of Mortlach 22.

Just a local shop here, mom and pop. I was cruising Total Wine's website though, and have seen it at some locations for them. Hope that helps.

Blue is actually good. I don't know about 200 a bottle (or whatever it is now) good, but it's good. A buddy and me split a 375 once and enjoyed it. Ughhh....
