    Been a while - Happy New Year to all!
    Popped into RCLS to grab the Knob Creek that was on sale but it turned out they used the wrong image in their flyer. Anyway, the Scotch wall is pictured below for anyone’s reference. JW Green is a welcomed addition, priced at $71.99, I think (price tag wasn’t available).

    Guess I've got an unpopular opinion...
    I like the Bowmore 12 better than the Tomatin 12. Picked up another bottle for $41 plus $3 back in optimum points.

    Bowmore 12 crushes the Tomatin 12. I think I'd take that top shelf Red Label with a coke over Tomatin 12.

    Haven’t had either of the Bowmore or Tomatin 12 and not really interested in trying them anytime soon. I bought the Bowmore 15 a long time ago and did not care for it at all. It was a chore to finish it haha

    I am interested in the Tomatin 14 that’s finished in the Port wood, though.

    IMO the Bowmore 12 is better then the 15.

    Eagle Rare is good. Enjoyed the bottle I had. got over excited and too drunk on it, but that's a good sign right?

    Tried both tonight, both are fantastic but if I had to choose, Eagle Rare takes it.

    I love the ER, but $75 a bottle makes me puke. Not hard to find it for $40 in the US

    I didn’t pay that much. I have a Company discount through Highlander, only paid $55

    I also have a corporate discount at Highlander, which location did you grab your bottle from?
    Aspen, I'm sure.

    On another note, I don't think I've ever met anyone that doesn't have a corporate discount at Highlander haha.

    No, but at $55 it is an excellent value.
    I can get onboard with that. $55 is good, $75 is unreasonable.

    For a 21 yr, its priced very well (~140), but I was disappointed with it, as was the bunch our blind tasting a few weeks ago (last place). Different stokes for different folks of course.

    For those curious our rankings were as follows (out of 10 scale, average)...

    8.0 - Glen Scotia 15 - $113
    7.7 - Kayo Japanese Mizunara oak - $99
    7.7 - Glenmorangie Quinta Ruben - $78
    7.0 - Finlaggan Old Reserve Islay (Trader Joes) - $18 USD
    6.6 - Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 - $89
    6.3 - Togouchi 15 - $159
    6.0 - Arberlour A'bunadh - $120
    5.5 - Aberfeldy 21 - $140

    Even though it was over zoom, a fun way to break up the monotony of Covid
