I still have that boring old headache.<br /><br />It bothers me that the price-jack is a lot more than 3 years and 5% apv are worth. And it really bothers me that they're leaving the middle-class consumer with a range consisting entirely of under-10-year-old expressions.<br /><br />Did you know that the prices on Ardbeg have recently dropped to a level that's close to where they were before the 70$ bottle of 10 year old? It should be obvious why. Let's hope, however boringly we do so, that the same thing happens with this embarrasment. Let's not touch this until it condescends to come down to our level.<br /><br />Stock up on the 15, it's at least the equal of the 18 any day. Plus it's got some nice sherry on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30970998.post-79426254630339714402009-09-30T01:30:39.413+00:002009-09-30T01:30:39.413+00:00yeah, the complaint might be tired, but it's w...yeah, the complaint might be tired, but it's warranted. last winter i was drinking 15 for $62/bottle. now it's push a hundred bucks. i loved - LOVED - the fifteen. i'm afraid the 18 will have to be more of a special treat though. tears :'(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30970998.post-44024398920900647912009-08-11T10:01:00.196+00:002009-08-11T10:01:00.196+00:00It's not fair.

It was so expensive for that one bottle that they all had to chip in. I haven't even tried the 15 yo and now you're telling me there's an 18 yo offering that's twice the price or more of the 10 yo?! That seems abusive to my friends' wallets! :-pemestniknoreply@blogger.com
