Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has bought or ordered the Laphroaig Jubilee bottle.

At around £70/80 it seems a good price for a Jubilee edition, it is a normal 18yr but just with different packaging.

Cheers

I've ordered 3 Jubilee bottles and I am waiting for the delivery.
... but I am undecided: open one bottle to taste or preserve it with the hope that is revalued? Question Question Question

If I was in your situation, and had 3 bottles in hand, I would definitely try one. Other bottles for other occasions will come up but enjoying a given moment with a dram only occurs once (that's the philosopher in me). Cheers.

Are the bottles also numbered or is it just the 18 in a numbered carton?

I saw this info,

""Each limited edition carton will display that it is only one of three thousand in existence and will contain the Double Gold Medal * winning Laphroaig 18 Year Old single malt (48% abv)."

As far as I'm aware the only difference is the tube

Yes it certainly looks like it. Which does seem a bit naff but on the other hand it is only £2 more expensive than the normal 18YO and not a rip like other 'jubilee' bottles.

Not sure how collectible it is though if it is just a batch of 18YO with a different tube ?
