Remember the good old days when Japanese whiskeys were a credible alternative to their more expensive Scotch cousins?
Yeah.
I remember buying a bottle of this for about $40.

Glenmorangie or Glenfarclas. Mild and smooth. No peat. No smoke. More full-bodied than Glenlivet.

Glenfarclas woud be half that price.

Yup. And it's just as good. The 10-year is $60, the 12-year is $80.

At one time I had 3 bottles of MacAllan in my stock - 10, 12, 15 year old. I set up a test.

The difference between 12 and 15 was notable, but not as much. That difference is $100.
I can't find the 10 year old at my local store.
