Well, I think it depends on the price. At roughly $40 a liter I think it is a good value. As I mentioned upthread we couldn't find it at the store and bought an Ardbeg instead. The Ardbeg was better but also like $130 a fifth.

It was one of their special bottlings. 1990 Special Reserve. Airigh Nam Beist it was called I believe.

Ah yes, the Beist. Been looking for a bottle of that! I'm told Binny's has it in stock for $86 with tax...but sadly I am not within a short ride of IL. Mileage run opportunity? lol Everywhere else it does appear to sell for around the price you paid...assuming you can find it. Anyway, striking out on the Nam Beist I picked up a bottle of Uigeadail instead for $59. It actually just arrived this evening.

Earlier in this thread I posted that I wasn't a big fan of this. The last 2 nights, I had a shot and have to say the flavor was nice and smokey. Think Islay.
Tomorrow, I'll drink this the way I usually do. A hint of water and a couple of ice cubes for sipping.
Who knows. Maybe this is meant to be chugged?
