on a side point, they have a very cool factory, if you are in the area you should take a tour, they even let you dip your own bottle in the wax at the end of the tour, also they give you some taste tests of their stuff

That's crazy
Not that I drink that often but I hope this doesn't ruin the flavor and taste

In order to get a decent scotch you need to spend a good $150, meanwhile the prophet 18 is awesome at less than 50.
