EVERY scotch drinker revels in rarity. Which is why Diageo’s Classic Malts Selection has such appeal. Want to savor the last spirits produced by “ghost distillery” Brora? Its final batch went into a barrel 30 years ago and $400 buys you one of just 660 bottles for sale in the US. Too much? $300 gets you a 28-year Islay from now-closed Port Ellen. There’s also a 30-year Talisker ($350), a 21-year Lagavulin ($300), and limited editions of Oban ($80) and Glenkichie ($50). Details at malts.com
