It's nice to see an 18 coming of age. Neil, I don't think there will be any bargains with these new whiskies, but hopefully they will be "reasonable". Andrew, you guys up north of the border always get the whiskies before us. Please pass on your thoughts.

Is the new Springbank 18 obscenely expensive like the new Laphroaig 25 yo? Is it too late to get a job a AIG? Cool, I miss the 21 yo Springbank (and it’s price, $85-90).

Perhaps not as good as the Longrow 18Yr, but it will be considerably more reasonably priced. We are looking at retailing it for $150-175 Canadian. As for the Hazelburn 12Yr, I am looking forward to trying it. I am not crazy about the current 8Yr, it hasn't lived up the the Limited Edition First Release. Regards Andrew John,

I can't wait-- the 8 stands out to me as one of the freshest whiskies I've ever had and it wasn't entirely unaffordable either (hope they stick with that). Hazelburn 12 yo!
