Thanks a lot, that is a very useful post. I was going down to Buchanan today anyway.

I'm here for ya. What was the before coupon price? That seems awfully low compared to what I see it for around here.

Yesterday, like today, it was snowing heavily here, so when coming home in the late afternoon, I poured myself a splash of Talisker with a few drops of water into a large glass that I could savour all evening in a synaesthetic experience.

Also, I bought two bottles, yesterday, to that I'm very much looking forward: a Rosebank (Gordon&MacPhail from 1991, 17yrs) and the Laphroaig Quarter Cask.

Had some Balvenie DW before bed last night, one Yamazaki 18 after dinner earlier, gonna get back into my Laphroaig QC now I think.

Here's the thing, those bastards raised the price from 39.99 to 43.99 then had the 10 off coupon. All the other before prices weren't raised for the coupon, gold was 60 minus 10 and blue was 150 minus 25 which is an excellent excellent deal for blue drinkers.

lol if you came up to NorCal for Thanksgiving, you would have been able to drink Laga 16 to your heart's content. Lord knows my friends did.

Good lord that's cheap. I had to swing in to the local store to pick up some fruit and ran by the liquor store. Green was $49.99, Gold was $79.99, and Blue was $189.99. They often do the pricing dance with their coupons. Usually, its small amounts like that, but I once saw them jack the price of a TV up $100 when it had a $300 coupon on it.

Hell, you can get a bottle of Macallan 18 for that price...at the liquor store. The Macallan is a glorious Speyside and shouldn't offend those delicate palates that want homogenization...or sugar.

If I was spending close to $200 on a bottle I could think of a lot of things I'd buy before Macallan 18.

Well, the point was more about Costco and JW than it was about other "things." That said, I agree...for $200.00 you could get two bottles of green and have enough left over for a pair of AE's.

I'd rather have the Macallan than the latter option.

As the Chairman is fond of saying..."wise choice." That said, I'm an Ilsay man myself but the Macallan 18 is a very nice dram in my opinion. I had my first taste of it at an Easter brunch last year and I thought it was delightful...different from my idea of SMS, but still delightful. Of course, there is always the possibility that I was having one of those "golden moments in SMS tasting" where you first sip a whisky and either because your environment is so pleasant or because your endorphins are running high, it is an experience that you can never seem to repeat no matter how many times you try. I probably wouldn't spend that kind of money not when Lagavulin and Laphroaig QC are so much less but I'd gratefully accept it as a gift...and treasure it appropriately.
