I struggle with the Balvenie choices. They are all good, but don't really stand out to me, especially for the higher price point. At those prices, in my opinion, Macallan just blows them out of the water. The Dalmore I recommended above is also much better in my opinion and priced at around $60.

Very strong and accurate statements... Balvenie does indeed have some great choices such as the Carribean Cask and the 15 Sherry Oak however the remainder of the choices such as the doublewood 12 are not particular standouts nor unique. Macallan across the board is the highest quality (people tend to give them flack for their pricing but the quality of the product is always top notch). I also agree the Dalmore 12 is a fantastic choice.
