I know it's a bit gimmicky but as a whiskey enthusiast and a Game of Thrones fan, I really want the Lagavulin 9-Year-old House Lannister bottle. And if I get really honest, I want one for drinking and one for holding on to. Question is, how to convince the wife they're worth spending $180 bucks on. Anyone tried it? If it's crap I'll only get one bottle, but I have high hopes.

It’s good but not worth 180 usd. i’d rather get the DE for that money and have 50 bucks spare…

Second this. The distiller’s edition is fantastic. Better than the 12.

It’s pretty good - worse than the rest of their lineup, but still pretty good.

It's fun for the GoT and pretty decent whiskey. As a pure whiskey, definitely not worth $180 but it's fun to have on your shelf and it gets lots of talking points.

Pure may be the wrong word, but meant that as if you are buying whiskey just for the whiskey of it and not for the bottle, marketing, etc. Then it is not worth the $

They aren’t worth $180/ea. You can find them at retail much cheaper.

I’m a fan of the Night Watch Oban, and the Taslisker one was tasty too.

Haven’t had it but Lagavulin is pretty reliably great, so you’ll definitely enjoy it. Worth 180? Maybe not unless you highly value the bottle and theme.
I have the Targarean Cardhu and don’t want to open it! That one is just Cardhu Gold so I can get a normal bottle easily

Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid .
