I too was skeptical about JW Blue but was a believer after the first sip. It is a flashy brand name (which I usually hate) but I haven't found anything better for the price. I've tasted bottles that cost thousands and still like Blue better.

I get mine for less than $200 at duty free. I've also seen the 200ml sample bottles for $50. I don't think the Gold ($100) or Green ($75) are worth the markup from Black ($40). However, Blue is a whole other level.

It's expensive but splitting an amazing bottle of blue is still cheaper than going out for drinks in NYC.

Well, I think this thread is going to get me into our local LCBO today to check things out. I can see me acquiring a taste for Scotch on ice - after 50 years I actually acquired an appreciation of a cigar now and again....odd, seeing as I am not a smoker.
