    Laphroaig 18 is back!! The 2013 port wood cardeas was a red berry bomb, looking forward to getting the 2024 fruity one. Thank you for a great live session 🎉

    Congrats on the baby Mike❤. Also, u guyz making me spend money again. Still have 4 back up bottles of the 2021 PX Cairdeas but I will have to get this years now as well 😅😅😅 I also have 3 bottles of the old green tube 18's so will probably not jump on the new one anytime soon.

    • @topshelfwhisky
      @topshelfwhisky  2 месяца назад +2

      Strong back ups. I have a few of the PX myself and I’m not disappointed with back ups but you need to grab this years, especially if it’s a reasonable price.
      Sorry, not sorry we induced you spend money again 🤷🏻‍♂️✌🏻

      Worth every penny! The Cairdeas and the 18!! Still love Lagavulin the best! Mike I got an 16 at the airport when I landed in Calgary, AB and wow is it cheaper here - $200 in BC - $265 including tax in Alberta - the province next door to B.C.!!

    Hey Guys, nice stream 🙂Would you say that the 18 is better than the 16 which they sadly let dissapear from the market, maybe to be able to bring the 18 back? The 16 was about 90 Euros here and the 18 is right now between 180 to 190 Euros here. I think 175 Pound/Euro was the Laphroaig price on their website.
    Some reviews sad that their are some Virgin Oak notes which I would not like too, some others said that the 18 is like the 16 and some reviews hyped this 18 away to nearly the best whisky 2024.
    I buy my Whisky only from auction since right now 6 years and buy way more expensive whisky too, but my question is, is the whisky worth the price? I liked the 16 a lot, for me one of the best Laphroaig standard since 10 or 15 years. But nearly the same whisky for double the price? If the 18 would be way better it would be the price worth for me.
    The Cairdeas 2024 you get here for 94 Euros. This one sounds great. I have tried some Cairdeas years ago and lot of them were way to young for me and were not winners for me. So since the I ignore the Cairdeas bottlings. Should get a sample from the 24.
    Have a nice weekend. Cheers.

      I haven't had the 16 and mike had a sample. Mike didn't like it and I've not heard much. I did try and get a sample to do a vs but no luck.
      First off, buy the Cairdeas unless you hate sherry and laphroaig it's a must buy at that price, get 2-3 at that! Our review is coming soon but we can't sing the praises enough as you saw here.
      Second, we'll do a proper a full review of the 18. We never review off the neck, and this was a legit neck pour for both of us. Sometimes one of us is new but never both new and both just off a neck pour.
      Finally, if the price on this is a problem for you, I'm not sure this is a bad buy or a good buy. I think this is on the extreme high side of the market today without going into grossly over priced. Right now I'm not planning a backup, but lets give it some time.
