Bargain Beauties!

I am always on the look out for those amazing drams that don't break the wallet and serve up an exquisite spirit.

I came across one recently. The Naked Grouse. A sherry matured blend. Very very good. And at $30 a damn good buy.

Wild Turkey & Four Roses from the Bourbon family. Once again around the $24 - $30 mark.

I think Ardmore Traditional Cask is quite decent at $35. I think Ardbeg 10 at $50 is also great value for money.

What are your bargain beauties?

Aberlour 10y between €20,- and €25,- is a favorite of mine.

Anything by Bladnoch between 10-12 years old. At 55% and mostly single cask, the ~GPB40 bottles are a steal.

@ tabarakRazvi: If you like smoke and peat you should consider giving "smokey joe" a try. Kind of a goofy name, but it does have all the punch of the more expensive Islay malts. Under $40 in Florida

Knappogue Castle Irish Single Malt for under $30. It's only 40%-- of course; it's Irish!--but it's a solid value if you link something dry.

I picked up Shackleton's The Journey at a closeout special for under $80us, which is about half the retail price. That's a bargain in my book!

@PeterG7 funny you should say that. Just tried Smoky Joe at a friends' house the other day. I thought it was quite OK. Not a beauty, mind you. But fairly decent.

Here is one that I like:

The Robert Burns (The Arran Distillery) Available at the LCBO in Ontario, $45.95 The plus is that it is bottled at 43.0% ABV.
