Ok so my first real purchase of good scotch is on its way to me now. I bought 2 bottles of the Lagavulin 21. Its got good write ups everywhere and its also relatively steal versus say a Black Bowmore LOL!..oh yeah I also picked up some Laphroaig 30 because you guys told me too :thumbsup:

and I know good advice when I get it and because I am a little bit impulsive or maybe :insane:

could be.

Good purchase. I think you did better than the Bowmore.

Yes, great choices, and at those prices, you can actually drink and enjoy the stuff too! Enjoy them, perhaps the start of a long and loving relationship for you! :thumbsup:

Nice choices, you will enjoy them very much!

(just to break the trend of posts here)

Good choice.
But you will NOT enjoy them. You will rather send them to me (PM me for the address). is :iwbrnt:

appropriate here?

If you had enough to buy a BB you should of bought a case of laga 21yo.

I reckon you will at least double your money in a couple years time.

10 L30s, and 2 Laga 21. Hopefully same end result if not I guess I will be taking up scotch drinking! I think the L30 may be a better investment as hertofore it was most likely being consumed not collected. Weheras I imagine the Laga 21 is not being cosumed with abandon because of its collector piece status..But I really have no clue. love to hear everyones thoughts on this.

Wow

Fair enough ..... I always go for the cheaper option though as there is more scope for improvement.

Laga 21 is being consumed with abandon also as it was fairly reasonable to buy. Worth buying a few more if you can :wink:

by **bjm** » Thu Mar 06, 2008 9:43 pm

The L30 was the cheaper option L30 $200, Laga 21 $270.
Now I just have to deal with the wife when the credit card bill come in :shock:

$200 for the Laphroaig 30? Never seen it so cheap. I would probably have bought 1-2 bottles at tha price. The Laga is a bit on the high price range, but to find one bottle is not very easy anymore.

$270 is the cheapest I have seen the Laga 21 here in the U.S. In fact most places advertize this at $300 to $350

It was on sale for $200 a short while ago, there's three of us who bought a lot of their stock at $200. One bottle is almost gone!

Glad I got mine for 200$, but still 225$ is still affordable I think. Compare that price to the prices in Europe.

Still an excellent price .... Oh to be near a US store selling Lap 30 at that price

Or have it shipped, still affordable with that heavy Euro or £ currency!

by **JamesC** » Fri Mar 07, 2008 9:16 pm

I couldn't resist the 30 for US$200 either. We picked up a bottle as well. It will be consumed but maybe not with extreme abandon

Damn! Nice buys!

I just did a pretty similar thing a month ago with L30 and Laga21. Buying Lappy 30 is a no brainer as long as it doesn't get you divorced!

I justified my buying "as an investment", but deep down inside I know that that is a bunch of BS and that it will probably be opened at some time

. One of the L30s was decimated in under 24 hours at the VWF :shock:

, and a Laga21 is next in line to go down

. I just can't see selling them on ebay - however, using a bottle or two to trade for other cool bottles in five years or so might be worth parting with it!
