Ditto.

As but one example, The Balvenie TUN 1509 goes for CDN$745 locally. And I seem to recall a 50-year old Balvenie being available around here for the princely sum of approximately CDN$50,000!

would that they were a little less pricey, because they tend to be real jewels. Looks like Springbank is joining the raise the price club.

It's always been slightly more expensive than most other more 'run-of-the-mill' malts - a premium I've happily paid due to the fact the distillery is a family-run operation producing very high quality whiskies. But yes... the prices have risen rather dramatically of late.
