[QUOTE="Hawgman, post: 2856983, member: 7676"] Laphroaig Quarter Cask is WAY up my list. I also like Lagavaulin. When wanting something non peat I like Balvainie (sp) Carribean Cask and Dalmore. However, the single malts got so dang high a couple years ago I very seldom drink them anymore. For years Laphroaig 10 was $26 to $28 a bottle. It's nearing $50 after tax now. Just plain old to rich for my blood. I've switched over to bourbons and rums. I also like rye A LOT, but I'll be danged if it's not going up too. Seems like every time I settle on a selection of some classification of spirits, they start to spiral upwards in price. They always blame this or that, but I believe they are simply driving up the market one catagory at a time. I'm already starting to sample cheaper bourbons because I'm certain in a couple years those under $20 bottles will be $30 to $35 bottles. [/QUOTE]
