Whisky Prices 2024 - 18yos

Each September I complete a survey, recording the prices of a distillery's 18yo - a standard bottle which you might buy for a special occasion like a birthday.

This year's results are in - let's see how things have changed.

Loch Lomond CWY

My favourite kind of whisky from @LochLomondMalts is from their Straight Necked Pot Stills, when it's fermented with Chardonnay Wine Yeast (CWY) it ticks all of my boxes!

Aqvavitae has just released anther pair of bottles, lets try them!
