Guys, for the heck of it, help me decide which discontinued bottle to get locally. There’s a Scapa 16 for $80. An older bottling of Longmorn 16 for $120. A non-distillery bottling of Ardbeg perpetuum for I believe @$100. Or, should I get something different altogether from online that is more contemporary?

I suppose that marketing is an important function of any company trying to produce and sell a product. I find, in general however, there seems to be two differences in approach to convincing the potential customer to part with their money. One is to attempt to describe the product on offer, giving perhaps some information on how it produced and detailed description of the taste in hopes of appealing to someone who might find these qualities attractive. Another common approach is to attempt to allude to a lifestyle that the producer would like their product to be associated with in the mind of the potential customer, hoping that people will find buying into that lifestyle attractive. I find this latter style completely insulting as it assumes that the taste and overall quality of the product are secondary concerns to the customer. Perhaps they are to a certain segment of the buying public, but it pretty much guarantees that I will spend my money elsewhere!
