I found a bottle of Old Pulteney 21 in a local shop. It is relatively expensive, but I believe it has now been discontinued and is a very good whisky.
The question is, do you think it is "worth" €150.

It was in the ship where I bought the Miltonduff, and I was torn between the two. Thinking about it, it was probably an 18 YO.

Most likely an 18 at that price. Imo you can do better for less over here. Not that it's not a nice dram as it is but it's pricier than it should be.

I agree

So the Miltonduff at less than 50% was probably the better choice.

Probably, would need to be twice as good to justify the higher price, as Grant stated earlier sometimes you can buy 2 bottles of very decent whisky for the price of a more expensive one.
