Any liquor stores in the SW that are a good place to go for scotch? What sort of price should i be looking at if I want to get a bottle that will be decent for a fairly regular Scotch drinker? I was planning on around $150, but really don't know what to budget.
Any advice appreciated.

You are not a Scotch drinker. You are not a Scotch buyer. You don't care about rich selection and tips from Scotch connoisseurs. My advice, avoid Kensington WM and Willow Park. They are both great stores with good selections but they charge premiums for being fancy. Go to Costco Liquor Store and buy your Dad a bottle of Lagavulin 16 yr old Scotch for $79. Same bottle sells for $115 at both KWM and Willow Park. Take my word for it, your Dad will love it.
