But he told me, and I agree, that Glenfarclas is very much in the house style of The Macallan but is much less expensive (I stopped buying The Macallan as well). He also mentioned that the people at The Macallan were saying Glenfarclas might be the best scotch in Scotland- at least at that time.

Thanks for the tip... $200 is in my wheel house for something special. I dropped $75 on the Cask Strength, which is a pretty amazing scotch for that price. I think you can get their 12 y/o for ~$200 now, IIRC.
