Would you recommend me going on a hunt for the Octomore? I am pretty much guaranteed to spend $150-300 for it if I can find it. Worth it? Or would it be tantamount to drinking water from a fire hydrant?
As far as my recommendations for peated scotches, I must recommend the Lagavulin 12 year limited edition. Orgasm in a bottle, very limited and collectible, but a bit pricey at $90 or so per bottle.

$105 for the Octomore 2.2 at 140PPM Phenols and $110 for the Octomore 3.1 at 152PPM Phenols. e-mail me at
bkblankenship@scotchwhiskyglass.com and I will give you the details.
