ALexander Murrat & Co 21 Year Old Single Malt
I haven't seen this one before but it was on sell for $81 so I had to try it. Bottled in 1991 at the Longmorn Distillery. Great nose of oranges(?) and an outstanding drink. I need to go get some more of this.

This is a top-notch Highland distillery, which is located nearby BenRiach. Currently, the most widely available official distillery release is a 16-year old, which is bottled at a 'proper' 48% ABV. It's quite delicious.
If you ever happen upon any 'dusty' bottles of the previous 15-year old distillery edition (bottled at 45% ABV), don't hesitate to grab them. This version was first marketed when the site was owned by Seagrams, and continued to be bottled after Longmorn was sold to Pernod-Ricard. Apparently, the Alexander Murray & Co. release you're enjoying was drawn exclusively from ex-Bourbon casks. The distillery releases, in contrast, also contain a significant amount of malt whisky that has been matured in ex-Sherry oak. Among other independent bottlers, Gordon & MacPhail is well known for its bottlings of Longmorn.

Any bottle of Longmorn I've had has never lasted too long.

The price range was amazing how much it differed from year to the next. For example, the one I bought was in the $80's, the year before and after were around $120.

Just make certain you focus on official distillery issues (i.e. bottled by the distillery itself, and not by independent bottlers) when you're eyeballing the 15 and 16-year old editions I've mentioned.
