Bruichladdich “Re/Define” 18 & Port Charlotte 18 Year Islay Single Malts

[@pepebruno1672]

Excellent head to head. I’m glad you did this. As our pallets align most of the time. Excited to crack these two open in the future.

Thanks for the review - I hope to see the Port Charlotte 18 around here ... but not yet, cheers!

Love both of these!! The Port Charlotte edges out the Bruichladdich for me. But they are both very nice. I happily have backups for each of these delicious single malts! Terrific video! Thanks so much!

First time seeing a Bruichladdich review!

Just picked up the B 18 at total wine for $166 and also grabbed a 1792 full proof for about $50. Going to wait until fall to get into both as I’m taking a break from drinking this summer. I’m super excited about the B18. It’s sitting next to my Oban 18 and Knob Hill 18. Sitting there just looking at me 😂 Fall can’t come soon enough. Thanks for the video, Chris!

That’s awesome! Cheers to you and those great finds! 🥃

I recall years ago, you kept a small cup of coffee beans to help when nosing spirits. That and the water seemed to work well for you. Are there other products out there in the market that can help a guy with nosing?

[@LiquorHound]

25 years ago, I began with a big wine nosing kit - which helped a lot. I still use the coffee beans when I’m nosing a lot of spirits back to back - just to reset my nose along the way. Thanks for being a longtime viewer and cheers!

My first couple drams of the B 18 were “meh”….closed off, too simple…but it came alive after that. It’s very nice. So is the PC 18. But the problem with both is the price. Too expensive for what I get. These would be a “buy” for me at $125, but 180-220…no way.

Quite a few reviews seem to indicate a little disappointment in the Bruichladdich 18. The Port Charlotte version seems to be the way to go.

[@LiquorHound]

Not for me and my friends, but give it a try. Cheers!

I've done this sbs comparison as well. Guess i'm in the minority because the Re-Define 18 is phenomenal.

@@LiquorHoundIn the Liquor Hound we trust. Picked up the Bruichladdich 18 today.
