the laphroaig price sounds really good. I've seen that for much more - is that the 3/4 liter size, 1 liter?

All three sound like pretty good deals to me.

Is the Bunnahabhain the 12-year old and, if so, is it the newer 46.3%ABV non-chill-filtered release? This is the one to go for between the two.

Laphroaig a close second, and the a'bunadh an even closer third (unless the Bunnahabhain is the older 40%ABV chill-filtered bottling).

Oh, what the heck... Three-pack!

All of those are good prices. Those are three fairly different scotches and I couldn't recommend one over the other. Any good scotch collection needs a wide variety. I agree with jazznut, get all three.
