Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 2672736, member: 93"] [USER=1414]@HuskyHawk[/USER] , I picked up the Ledaig last weekend and had a couple pours. I like it but prefer the Ardbeg and Lagavulin so far. It was at the end of a long night of eating and drinking though, so I will try it again under better conditions. The guy at the store was very knowledgeable and was also high on Bruichladdich, especially their [URL='https://www.bruichladdich.com/bruichladdich/wee-laddie-gift-pack']"Wee Laddie Gift Pack,"[/URL] which gives you three different offerings and looks like a nice value as well. I may give that one a try next. He said the Caol Ila has been sold out everywhere for months; apparently it is in high demand now. He also explained that the reason Lagavulin has become more expensive of late is because the Chinese are apparently buying tons of it. He said that China is a huge market right now for high end wine and booze, and that they are buying entire future vintages of some wines (wonder if the new wine tariffs will affect that). Anyway, any of you Scotch people have any thoughts on Bruichladdich? [/QUOTE]
