Yep. I moved to Edinburgh* just before Christmas. This is unrelated to my enjoyment of the finest thing in life (single malt whiskey). It is, however, an enabler :/
Anyway. A bottle of 18yo Glengoyne at the distillery: gbp 72. At the local whiskey shop at Northbridge (across from the Prêt if you're here), it is gbp 77, although I've seen it on sale for gbp 69. in US$ that's around $110 (using the distillery shop price, at the current www.xe.com exchange rate). A friend can order it at her local liquor store in Branford, CT for $105. qed. rip * For the record, this flat is street address #50 in 50 years. I have a spreadsheet.
