Hey, ends are low. I gotta do what I gotta do
I have had the 12 year and it is outstanding. I am not all that great at comparisons, particularly when the products are not side by side. If memory of the 12yr is correct, it is not quite as smooth as the 18yr and a tad less smokey. We are talking minute differences here.
Here at my favorite liquor store the 12yr is $80. I purchased the 18yr in a store at the Gatwick airport in England and I want to say that it was $60, but that was back in '04. I'm sure the 18yr is well north of $100 so there is that consideration.
Bottom line, you wouldn't go wrong with either choice!
Last night:
Hemingway Daiquiri (Not sure of the rum as it was at a bar)

Thanks for the comparison. I first had the 12 in a restaurant and kept my eyes open for a bottle. Found it in an island package store for $55! Haven't seen it for less than $70 since. It'll have to be an occasion for the 18!
Tito's martini, up, with blue cheese olives. Cheers everyone!
I absolutely hate Bloody Mary's but this sounds very intriguing . Fresh and different!
