Lismore "Pure Single Highland Malt"

On a random visit to Trader Joe's (in San Jose, California), I came across this bottle of Lismore labeled "Pure Single Highland Malt". My first surprise was the unbelievably low price of US $18. My second surprise was that it was actually not bad! Not to my personal choice of taste though.

Lismore is bottled by Wm Lundie & Company, and is available in a wide variety of bottlings, mainly blends. Unfortunately there is no indication of the source of this malt. Although this bottling was not that great, I have heard that there are 8, 12, 21 and 25-year-old bottlings of Lismore single malt that would be worth trying.
