fair price for the beast?

Hi everyone, this weekend I was fortunate enough to taste Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist for the first time. From the very first sip I fell in love. Anyways to cut to the chase, what do you think is a fair price to pay for a bottle of this precious liquid? and for those who are already owners, are you saving yours or drinking it? If I can get hold of a bottle I plan on drinking it. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

@ThreePeat, this is a whisky that is definitely starting to go up in price now due to scarcity. For your location in Southern California, my guess, and it is just a guess, is that anything under $ 90 would be a very good price for Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist. $ 90 to $ 120 is probably average, when you can find in-store supply of it. Above $ 120 is probably getting expensive. Wine-searcher.com lists the current average USA price at $ 109, and gives the current lowest online price at $ 119.99 plus shipping. That said, we had a Connosr posting within the last couple of months that ANB was still available in Southern California at a price below $ 80. In another year or two this will probably be $ 150+ whisky.

@ThreePeat . Hi, I bought mine a year ago at 62$ in NY area. I guess it is not that price now. I am drinking it and at the same pace as Victor. I know I probably won't get another one after it, but I buy whisky to drink them, even if it is rare or sold out. Life is too short !

@Victor thanks for the reply. I have been calling around looking for it online everywhere around so cal. The cheapest I have been able to find it is $121. I have however found the bottle for 99 online. Wine searcher is very helpful. I just bought 3 bottles of laphroaig 18 for $56 a piece.

@Kutter, Where in NY you bought this for $62, was it the Warehouse Wines and Spirits in Manhattan?

It's about $90 here too. I plan on drinking mine eventually and I may try to get another bottle while my local store still has it.
