25 year old scotch is not typically something you'll find for under $300, much less under $200. You may also think that says something about the quality of the liquid inside, but you would be very wrong. This bottle has all the quality found in a bottle made by McCallan or Glenfiddich, but with a price tag that makes you think your liquor store has lost their mind. This bottle belongs on the top shelf, but you don't have to feel guilty when you feel like having something a little more decadent than your standard dram. As is typical with any 25 year old scotch, there is no bight to the finish, there's no heavy wood or overpowering peat to this. It's balance lasts from minute it touches your tongue, until the last flavor fades from the back of your throat. There is no reason this bottle should be selling for what they have it listed for, and the quality is instantly tasted the minute you open it. It's not as oily as a Glenlivet XXV, but you still get all the flavors, and all the quality just the same. I can't stress enough, how low the pricing is for this versus what it tastes like. It should be a $300 bottle, easily, and yet it's just not! If you can afford it, I highly suggest this.
