ANTICIPATION....

$150.00 seems to high too me so I will vote with my wallet. I bet in a year or two the price comes down like it did on Laphroaig 18 yr old.

It'll street at $120-130 or a bit lower just like the other Balvenie 17 year old offerings.

This has made it's way to Tucson now. $129.99 is too rich for my blood for this one.

My local got it in . . . and I got my tax check . . . so I picked up a bottle on Thursday and had a few drams last night.  Well, okay, a few too many, lol.  :blush:
 
It's really incredibly smooth.  Lighter in body than I expected, very balanced, very, very drinkable. Subtler than the 12 y.o., not quite as much caramel on the finish.  Loved it, but in all honesty I don't think it's twice as good as the 12, and at $113, it's basically twice the price. Still . . . smooooooooooooth.  :love:
