I went to the Nellis AFB BX on my annual pilgrimage hoping to find they still had Knob Creek 1.75L on sale. Alas, it was no more. But I did find an Elijah Craig 1.75L and a couple of Booker's single barrel 750ml bottles.
I couldn't believe what has happened to the price of single malt Scotch. Balvenie Double Wood 12 year old has trippled in price from when I used to buy it. Dalmore 15 year old was $122 for 750ml. The bottle of Dalmore 21 year old my wife gave me years ago is going from the closet into the safe.
I used to get Balvenie Doublewood at Trader Joe's for $30. The 25% US tariff for Scotch whisky is over, but the prices are still high. I used to think that $40 for Lagavulin 16 was a lot.
