tasty and less than $50/bottle? Anyone have a favorite? Does this make
me another elite, snobbish, flyfishing poseur, the kind I used to pity

You don't have to be snobby to realize that it's a heck of a lot
easier carrying 3 nights worth of single malt than 3 nights worth of
beer into the mountains on a flyfishing / backpacking trip. And it's
a nice feeling to cut the whisky with water from the stream you're
camping next to as you're sitting around in the glow of the candle
lanterns and shooting the breeze with your pals.
