They had 3 more 2-packs sitting on the shelf in a non-descript cardboard box. A little pricey at $130 for the pair... but at least available.

You can sometimes find them on ebay for over $100 a bottle. I called around the "Specialty Retailers" on the Malt Advocate web site and struck out - within a week of the last release. I don't think anyone without connections is meant to taste this stuff.

Well still not outrageous but a bit too high for me to justify for that small an amount. oops, well maybe the pricing is a bit high..I see now that those are 375ml bottles.

Single Malt Scotch producers are going to price themselves out of business. At least I can still get Laphroaig 10 CS for about $48...for now. So is the 1993 Double Barrel a rye whiskey or does that just mean it is a bourbon with rye as the second grain instead of what?
