Conclusion:
A bit too pricy for the quality you are getting. I guess this is a trend with Highland Park and Edrington Group. Somebody have to pay for the packaging, quality cask and advertising. Don't get me wrong I love Highland Park, and their whisky is still great but why the overpricing Highland park? you are losing your core whisky fans and enthusiast.
