A friend picked up a bottle of this for us last night, and we were both amazed at how good it was. We both like the 12 year old, but we usually prefer single malts (Lagavulin 16 being one of our favorites) and this blew us away with how rich and smooth it was. Definitely recommended.
@DaemoniumCC We have to agree with you on that. Until we shot this segment we had never tried the 18 YO, generally preferring single malts also, but we were amazed at how good it was. Next time you are out and about, step it up one more notch and try the 25 YO...we rate that as one of the best whiskies we have ever tasted and the 18 is very close behind. Thanks for the comment.
@SingleMaltTv I will definitely be picking up a bottle of the 25 year old as soon as I glimpse one. My curiosity is in full effect now! I would also like to thank you gentlemen for the outstanding videos. Keep up the great work! Greetings from Istanbul.
@DaemoniumCC Hey thanks...and I love Istanbul. Spent four weeks filming in Turkey several years back for a documentary. Had a ball and were treated like royalty by the very friendly people. Any good whisky joints in Istanbul? We might have to schedule a trip to do some filming there...would be a hoot. Cheers.
@SingleMaltTv Unfortunately no, and good scotch is pretty hard to find. It's not a big culture over here, and it is pretty hard to find good single malts. And when we do, it is usually double the price of what is paid in the EU and US, due to high tax rates. In any case, I would love to share a single malt with you guys if you ever come back to visit. Cheers.
thank you, very well said...it is a great buy and if I can say it is a bargain, because you get a really good quality blend (one of the best and definately the best in that range) for a price of double 12 years old...a good value there! and the taste mmm for me it was a better choice than Royal Salute 21, slightly better, and when you put the money in you know that this is the better one! I wonder how different is the Chivas Regal 18 Rare Old?

@olaguma Yes the 18 YO is also right up there with the 25. Not quite as smooth and without the strong florals but still a magnificent drop.

@BrandonBlaze904 You mean 25YO?

@SingleMaltTv i just like the taste of the 18YO more than 25YO although the 25YO is much much more smoother.

Pros: Great Nose, Great Palate, Great Smooth taste, Third favorite Scotch, Next To Johnnie Walker Gold And Blue Label.
Cons: Less Flavor Than Gold And Blue Label, But Otherwise GREAT!
