I am a huge fan of both Talisker and Benriach.
I can personally vouch for the Talisker 8, I have several bottles of both the 2020 and 2021 releases, and they're both great.
I have tried most of the younger Benriachs which are okay, but 25 which is fantastic and have a bottle. Now I only buy their Single Casks. The 21's maturation seems interesting and it's bottled at 46% and the reviews seem pretty good.
$300 for a cask strength Talisker and a well aged Benriach is a great deal.
That is a really good price on these!
