I like Bastille 1789, it’s alittle more wallet friendly than Balvenie, but taste is similar…it’s around $55-60/bottle.
We traveled to Scotland in 2019 and did a Whisky distillery tour, saw the World’s largest collection of Whisky, which was insanely impressive, it’s basically in a giant bank vault, and lastly did an extensive tasting, there are taxi cabs happily waiting outside for when you are done.
