Not a review but a comment on the latest evidence that supplies are catching up with demand as inventory matures, creating room for lower prices. Per Whisky Advocate: “The Cadboll Estate is priced about 15% lower than the Private Edition releases, and it’s likely significantly more aged... I suspect the distillery has an ample stock of well-aged single malt and a solid plan for keeping pricing competitive even as tariffs and Brexit are causing a lot of uncertainty in that area.” I’m planning to sit out most of the new releases this year and try to make more of a dent in my existing collection, in the expectation that the market is only going to get better for buyers next year and beyond.

@Richard-ModernDrinking I was on the fence... $79.99 they say is 15% below retail and the finish was of interest to me!
@dubz480 @Richard-ModernDrinking Try rarely a buy is my Glenmorangie motto!
@dubz480 I wouldn’t rule it out. I’m definitely interested in trying it.
My local TW is offering this one on pre sale for $79.99.. sound like it's a pass!
@PBMichiganWolverine Given that Lag has enough stock to support age statements of 8, 9, 10 and 11, it will be interesting to see how they price the next 12-year release.
Hopefully that applies to Lagavulin and Ardbeg too. They seem immune to fluctuations
