Over the past year you might have noticed a dramatic increase in the price of whisky at your local liquor outlet. The prices will be with us for awhile. Demand of quality whiskies have grown and quantities are in shorter supply.If your like most of us the ablility to pony up another $20.00 or more for the same dram your were buying regularly a year ago is not always an option. I know I personally have been purchasing more blended whiskes were the price creep has not been so significant. There are some great blends out there Teacher's, Famous Grouse, Grant's Family Reserve, Cutty Sark Storm, Ballantine's all come to my mind. It is getting harder to fnd a malt in NB under $50.00 a bottle but you can if you look for them. Great malts still under $50.00 ie Aberfeldy 12, Aberlour 10,Benromach, Fraser's Lowland Reserve,Glenburgie 10,Glenlivet 12, Glenfiddich 12, and Tamdhu. Glenburgie and Tamdhu are both on sale at ANBL at the moment at the clearance table. It's rare to see Single malt on a discount table. I picked up a couple of each. Might be a cold winter.
