At a place like Village Whiskey, I would probably stick to 12 y/o scotches and avoid the higher price ones. Even at that, I would probably only have a couple glasses, if I'm going there for dinner. Then go home and enjoy a reasonably priced Macallan in the comfort of my living room.

Oh, here's the website: Village Whiskey
If we were talking about $15 to $40 for a decent pour it would make more sense.

But 1 oz of 10-year Bruichladdich for $15?

A shot is 1.5 ounces, so this is less than a shot.

I feel like an amount that small will evaporate in the glass before I can drink it.

I think there is some mistake on here. The prices are probably correct but serving sizes are probably off. Those amounts aren't even really enjoyable to drink. It's one sip. Maybe less.
