Currently, I'm enjoying the Glenmorangie Lasanta (46% ABV), aged its final two years before bottling in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. What other single malts in this vein could be recommended, preferably in the $50 or below price range? The Balvenie Doublewood 12, for example? Others? I also tend to favor an ABV of 43% or greater.

Yeah the Balvenie Doublewood is a good example and the whisky that got me into the world of single malts.
Head over to Benriach - they wood finish in just about every type and over various ages and prices. Ive yet to have a bad benriach, their whole range is great. |

Aberlour 12 is good, but the 16 is fantastic. Of course the 18 is divine, but perhaps too smooth and subtle, making the 16 a great choice (its a bit spicy!)
10 - $25 12 (double cask matured) - $35 15 - I forget, as I've only found it once. 16 - $55-65 18 - $80-100 The 10 and 15 are not worth purchasing, but you probably will never see either of those offerings for sale. Last edited by jwise; 05-06-2013 at 11:48 PM. |

Aberlour A'Bunadh or Macallan Cask Strength Both very good B+ in my books.
$52 & $62 respectively and plenty of proof in either of these. ![]() I know these are a bit more than your price point but these are both a step above the others you are looking at. I happen to price shop constantly so you may find these at much higher prices in your area. It amazes me at the huge price differences in the same scotch whisky from one source to the next. ![]() cheers |

I have all the mentioned sherry based brands listed but still love hands down the Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX by far. No brainer. Please try it!

The Dalmore 12 should be well within your budget - one of my favorites in the sherried category.

It's been a while since I tasted PX, so I had to look up my review from January of 2011: Quote:

Not sure how much folks back in the states are paying but I'm getting it at around $60 a bottle for PX. Still cheap for the taste you get.
1000ML going for less than $70 ! http://item.rakuten.co.jp/kawachi/3939220000019/ Last edited by valuetl; Today at 01:47 PM. |
