It was a little hard to say, but I guess I might like it a lot better for $40 a bottle, but since there are so many things I like between the $40-$100 range I doubt I'll ever find a bottle of JW on my shelf.
Too bad, as I'd hoped to like some of the common offerings which can easily be found without a lot of searching around.

You should go to the distillery and have a full sampling - they have the award winning 1984 there too, and if I recall correctly it was about $20 for a glass, which is pretty reasonable for something so completely unavailable.
Taketsuru 35 is still available at the distillery for $17 a glass.
