Obviously blue is scrumptious. It's smooth as fuk, vanilla, toasty and smells terrific. The thing is when a liquor manufacturer such as Johnnie walker, hennessey, remy, even Pierre jouet and Dom, figure out they've developed their name- the quality of their booze goes down. They start to live off their marketing budgets and product placements so there are other distillers or winemakers that spend more on quality (better facilities, grapes, longer aging, more quality control etc) than superfluous sh it.
Bottom line, it is good- fuk yes. It is overpriced- fuk yes. Can you get a better single malt for cheaper? Probably but at $110 for a fifth you're getting as good a deal as you can find. Just don't drink it all at once, after the third drink, you're no longer getting the true experience.
