Bottle #2: The Balvenie

Founder's Reserve--Aged 10 years.

Rich and sweet aroma, buttery smooth smooth taste. Light but lively body with a peppery flavor that lingers. It warms you inside to out; great bottle for after/before/during work! 3 nips of this and black pudding is a majestic side dish (stay tuned for a discussion on this treat).

What's a bottle go for these days?

oddly enough, scotland is one of the most expensive places to buy whisky (scotch). It has to do with taxes in Scotland. This makes it even worse with the exchange rate.

This bottle was on sale for 19 pounds--i go to whisky store in edinburgh and prices range from 17-40 for "average" bottles. really rare stuff can be as much as 200 pounds...
