  Thanks to Lawrence, Dave and Martin for their quick replies. Based on the consensus that these were worthwhile whiskies, and bargain priced, I went back to that store today. After a brief negotiation, I agreed to help him clear his shelf space of "those old bottles that aren't moving", and got all six bottles for $280 U.S. Slainte indeed!
