My first foray into this year's set is a 20 year old Longmorn distilled in 1992, bottled by Exclusive Malts. It sells for $100.
1992 Longmorn 20 (Exclusive Malts), 52.8% abv ($100).
The nose has sweet dessert wine and tropical fruit. The palate is bursting with fruit and dessert wine with a syrupy mouthfeel. I get dried, candied mangoes. The wine note gets more sherry like later in the palate and into the finish where there's just a touch of sulfur.
This one's a winner - just a really drinkable sherried malt with a lot of fruit. The back label states, "This should be much more expensive," and they're right. This is far better than the distillery's 16 year old which is only about $10 cheaper for a younger and lower proof whisky. If you need a last minute holiday gift, this is it.

That was $20 well spent. Thanks SKU!
This is CHEAPER than the official 16 year old. Beltramo's is selling that one for $106.
David, if you're nice, I'll send you some shelf-talkers.
Eric, yikes, that's expensive. Binny's has it for $90.
