Best Scotch in the Expensive price range
What is an expensive price for Single Malt Scotch Whisky?
Let me establish the price range I decided was 'expensive' for a bottle of Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
The minimum price range is 50GBP, $80 US Dollars or $78 Australian Dollars.
The maximum price range is 100GBP, $162 US Dollars or $152 Australian Dollars.
Of course these prices will shift as the exchange rate does and are based on currency conversions in January 2015.
