The top 10 Scotch Whiskies
Scottish Field have listed what they believe are last year's top 10 whiskies. I look forward to tracking a few down! Where possible I've put an indicator price next to each so that you get a rough idea of how much each costs - and with one or two exceptions there are not too pricey.
Strathisla 37 year old - Duncan Taylor bottling (£100)
Glenmorangie Artisan Cask (£30)
Aberfeldy 12 year old (£25)
Talisker 175 (£53)
A celebration of 175 years of distilling on Skye.
Bunnahabhain 25 year old (£150?)
Only 400 bottles released so if you can find some it will be pricey - but Scottish Field also recommend the 18 year old (£50).
Auchentoshan 17 year old (£60)
Matured in Bordeau casks
Glenfarclas 50 year old (£450) [UPDATE: This price looks to be completely wrong, more like £2250]
One of my favourite malts, I unfortunately have to say that I think this might be worth every penny.
Benromach 55 year old (£2800)
Pointless even speculating about this one as I'll never even get to smell it!
Linkwood 30 year old (£75)
Ben Nevis 40 year old blend (£115)

Most interested in the Glenfarclas 50 y.o. scotch whisky, where can I find it for the £450, as mentioned in the article "The top 10 Scotch Whiskies"?
Nicholas,
I too would like to find it for £450. I have no idea why I wrote that this is what it costs - I vaguely remember doing a bunch of Google searches as I wrote the article. As you see however I didn't add a link to the Glenfarclas listing so I therefore can't find the page that gave me the idea that it costs this much.
In reality, the price is much higher - around £2250. And there were only 110 bottles so it's quite possible that they are all sold out now.
Thanks for the message - sorry to disappoint! I'll update the article.
For what it's worth I don't think that any whisky is worth 2 grand.
