The US particularly has high "sin" taxes on alcohol. I live in Germany, which has lower taxes on alcohol than the US and Scotland, so ironically, both bourbon and Scotch whisky are cheaper than in their home countries:
These are the lowest prices for each in the 3 places I usually buy stuff online:
Aberlour A'bunadh: €53 ($61 / AUD 84)
Bunnahabhain 18: €91 ($105 / AUD 144)
Glenmorangie Original: €29 ($34 / AUD 46)
The Aberlour has gotten back down (interestingly) to what it used to be when I started buying it about 7 years ago. Glenmorangie used to be €25 at the grocery store. And the Bunnahabhain used to be about €65 when I found it.
