I have my bottle for a few weeks now and have been waiting for you to review it. I knew it would be another winner. I will wait for the holidays to open it, great review.

[@markjedi1]

Enjoy! You'll not be disappointed.

Saw this one in the shop when I went to go pick up the Song of Ice and Fire bottles from Johnnie walker (I'm a big fan of the books and the bottles look impressive on my mantlepiece), $500 Australian dollars over here for this one! No one can seem to fault it though despite the high price. Great review!

[@PhuongTran-ro5hx]

Now. The JW Blue Legendary 8 has Released can't wait to see you gonna to review it. Anyway Great review Mark🤔👍

[@markjedi1]

I'm waiting on my bottle still, but as soon as it arrives, I'll be more than happy to review it. Stay tuned!

[@stillse2130]

I found a bottle for $400 in Boston, and wanted to see how it compares to the ghost and rare first.

[@raul87ish]

Legendary 8 coming soon my friend!

[@markjedi1]

I know. Looking forward to it :-)

[@raul87ish]

@@markjedi1 patiently waiting...... Legendary 8 👀

[@seanjones7871]

Great review as always. I have the first two so I’ll be looking for this. What’s your order of preference with these rare releases now?

[@markjedi1]

The Brora release comes first, then the Glenury Royal and then the Port Ellen, but they are all very close and all of them are top notch.

[@triplecap4307]

Just got my bottles tonight so this might be premature. Brora, Glenury, Port Ellen. I think Port Ellen is clearly behind the other two. Thanks Mark!!

[@robinsharkey6658]

@@markjedi1 the Brora is a really exceptional blend. I'm glad I can have all three on my whisky shelf. Thanks for always putting out quality content brother!

[@PhuongTran-ro5hx]

I just got the JW Blue Legendary 8 🤫🤭😘🇦🇺

[@NateXion]

Mark, which one is the top of the line for blue label. Is it the Legendary Eight or Ghost and Rare Glenury Royal, or the Ghost and Rare Brora

[@markjedi1]

All are amazing (also the G&R Port Ellen), but the Legendary Eight is my personal favorite, followed by the Glenury Royal, then the Brora, then the PE. But that is personal of course.

[@NateXion]

@@markjedi1 thanks brother, you're the best.

[@SAKAYA22]

How this compare the the Blue Port Ellen version?

[@markjedi1]

This one is slightly more fruity and therefor I prefer this one.

[@SAKAYA22]

@@markjedi1 Do you prefer this over Brora too?

[@markjedi1]

@@SAKAYA22 No, the Brora is my favorite, then the Glenury Royal and Port Ellen third.

[@tunwin5305]

Hello is that true ghost & rare Brora is selling around $2000 dollars now? Just curious. Nice reviews btw. Thanks!

[@markjedi1]

I have no idea. I live in Belgium and here the bottle can no longer be found. I do sometimes see it in auctions, though, where it sells for 750 to 1000 euros.

[@tunwin5305]

@@markjedi1 Thanks Mark. That sounds a lot more reasonable. $2000 is too much for it imo. Have a nice day and as always love your reviews!

[@sundaraprem1301]

Can anyone tell me how to get it in US?

[@aayden9803]

@6:11 me as soon as I put it In 🤣

[@renenarvaez4646]

Waiting for the legendary 8 Review

[@markjedi1]

Coming in less than two weeks!

[@cato451]

thanks mark. just became available to me. i think i’ll skip it.

[@markjedi1]

Cato, care to share why?

[@cato451]

Mark Dermul low ABV and frankly the price is a big turnoff. i didn’t mind paying that for the other two but this one should have been priced more aggressively.

[@ruthlesssavage351]

God how can anyone drink that with a straight face

[@markjedi1]

I take it you did not like it? That's fine too.
