Included in the article is a pdf file (http://www.pblpathways.com/projects/whisky/whisky_list.pdf) of commercially available cask strength Scotch Whiskies (with prices) to be used to solve the problem.. Most of the prices are for a 70 centiliter bottle in 2011. It coincidentally gives a look into what happened to prices since then.

Just looking through some of the prices, Highland Park 30 was £200.95 and bottled at 48.1% ABV today you pay £385 and is is now bottled at 45.7% ABV which adds to the price difference.
