Ah, damn. I'm on the other side of the country, so that bar is not reasonable :/
hedgie:
Yeah, if you could afford to fly to the other side of the US just for a night of drinking, the cost of the drink would be irrelevant at that point. What's really sad is that one place that closed down (think of the dive that Jimbo is usually found in) *was* the worst, possibly only true dive in town, but they had an amazing whisky selection, including having Yamazaki 18 year for $15 a glass. The new upscale incarnation of the place added at *least* $5 to all of their top-shelf stuff, so I found another bar. I don't think they're moving much of that inventory.
Method of Madness:
Well Sarah has family in LA, and my sister is moving to San Francisco, so it's not like I won't have business on the west coast at some point.

(But holy shit, it was twenty-eight dollars, and it wasn't a huge pour either. It was plenty for a pre-dinner drink, and enough to let me know I wanted a bottle when I had an occasion to buy it, but god damn, I'm glad I wasn't paying.)
But if there was a restaurant that had <$10 pours of Lagavulin, I would have dinner there every week.

There's a place here in Livermore that does em for $16. Never eaten there but I have definitely ordered drinks there a few times.

I was pleased to close the week with the observation that the local monopoly retailer had added 18yr aged Laphroaig to their selection. Savoring it slowly.
I hope to taste Balvenie one of these days. Your descriptions are enough to warrant a test.
