I think it’s great. The price can be all over the place. I’ve seen anywhere for $60 to over $100.

Thanks for the input! It's retailing here for $99 CAD, which is about $73USD, so that seems like a reasonable price.
Is this Barrell Vantage hard to find? My regular store has a couple of bottles showing in stock on their webpage.
You may be able to find it now, but it’s possible that it will become hard to find for a while. I’m thinking it will be a staple like Seagrass. But it has gained some attention with the end of year rankings from prominent whiskey reviewers.

For those of you local to the DC Metro area (I know there are a few), Jack Rose has a cask strength bar pick Laphroaig coming out. They will actually be selling bottles at the bar if you go to their release event. If you know Jack Rose in general and Bill Thomas in particular you know this is going to be a belter of a dram. I am friends with Bill so I hope this kind of hopeless shilling is ok here, though to be honest any whisky nerd should know about this. Get a load of the drams at the tasting.

From 2017. Here's a gigantic storage house of booze. And the Laphroaig warehouse.
Sorry for the n00b question, but how good is this one? I saw this in another thread, then looked it up in my store's inventory. They charge the same number of loyalty tickets for this as for Pappy 23. 800 tickets, which equates to $16,000 in purchases for the right to buy one at $70. I think these two tie for the highest amount of tickets needed.
It was great in the BBQ sauce I made.
Nice!
I have no idea, it's a bottle my buddy paid an exuberant amount of money for. I just used the photo for the LoLs
Your store has an 18 Year Marriage? Nice. I'm not sure how good it is, but it is a very rare limited release. They had it at my local spot, but ran out before my 18th anniversary back in August.
We still went there for great BBQ and other great whiskey.
I'm not 100% sure, but according to what I've been told, they reserve 20% of their allocated bottles for the raffle they hold once or twice a year. It's this Saturday, so I'm going through what I believe to be their inventory and compiling a list in case I'm lucky enough to have one of my tickets drawn. I want to have everything ranked that might possibly be available so I can jump quickly to make a choice if I have the opportunity.Your store has an 18 Year Marriage? Nice.

Given the rareness of something like this, and the secondary market value, it's unlikely that I would keep and drink this if I get the chance to buy it. Instead I'll look to trade it for many ordinary bottles, or some benjamins. (or Tigers!)
18 year marriage is incredibly rare. Possibly even more so than Pappy 15, 20, and 23. It's literally unseen on the secondary market in the Chicagoland area, though everything else can be found.
Backup dibs!

KC 12yr CS? That's a new one to me. I'll bet it slaps.
It’s been out for years I think. But yeah, I bet it’s delicious.
I missed out on Knob 18 but I think knob 12 would be an even better match for my palate

I'm not super wild about Laphroaig like i am about some other islay like Bruichladdich, but i'd be interested in one.

Laphroaig is QPR champion though. The 10yo offers some of the best bang for the buck going. I find the 15 sublime.
too much band-aid for my preference
I bet that kicks ass.
I love Four Roses! What is this club? And how do I join?

18 year Marriage was a limited one year release and one of the only EHT offerings with an age statement. The Pappy lineup is released every year, so in that sense it’s much easier to find

I know it’s Fryeday, but I figured I hadn’t had some of this in forever.

I’m still pissed that I missed a bottle for $350 by literally minutes.
