If you go to the Highlands distilleries, even Speyside, it's rarely more than a middle class person could spend and the REALLY expensive Scotch didn't taste noticeably better. Same with wine.
So, then I agree.
A lot of that price differential is marketing, I think.
single malts are definitely better, glenfiddich, glen morangie... they usually are also 12 years, which probably matters more than anything else

Also, just a nice drive up there.
Fun fact: I'm from the sept that started the Talisker distillery on Skye.
(I think it tastes awful, tho.)
I felt obliged to go there and try to drink some, but my husband had to finish it because I was like, that'll put hair on my chest, good grief.
yeah, talisker was meh, dalwinnie (sp?) was ok... i tasted glenfiddich first time when i was like 18, me and my friends drank a bottle my mate nicked from his university professor dad's cabinet... and yes we smashed the bottle after too!
