gazbev Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Lagavullin for a treat but I can't believe no one has mentioned Bowmore 12 yrs, hits the spot for me. Lots of nice whiskers mentioned though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisondan Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 My favourite is anything from The Balvenie distillery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southwest_colonel Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Another Lagavulin fan here, the 16yo is a staple in my collection. I also find that the Distiller's Editions from Caol Ila always hit the spot - lovely oily mouth feel and long finish. If I want something a little less intense, then I start looking at the likes of Highland Park (they don't distill a bad drop) and Aberlour's a'bunadh series - perfect with a drop of water and paired with a cigar, the slight sweetness just balances nicely. (It's fair to say that I'll drink most single malts willingly if they're on offer... ) Edited July 29, 2014 by southwest_colonel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitebridges Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Try some English whisky. Made in Norfolk. http://www.englishwhisky.co.uk/ Failing that reach for the Ardbeg. http://www.ardbeg.com/ardbeg/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk dumpling Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Jura - got hooked on this when co-op selling @ £20 a bottle. Sadly wife liked it too - her favourite is Bushmills. Like the Aldi brands especially the blended malt mentioned above - as a regular tipple with a bit of ice lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casts_by_fly Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 So many good whiskys, so little time. If I had to have a single bottle collection for the rest of my life, I'd take a Glenlivet 18. Just the right amount of flavors and balance but super smooth. To add a second into the mix I'd throw in a highland park 18. Again, perfect balance of flavors, though very different from the glenlivet. That two bottle set would keep me content for a long time. Fortunately I don't have to pick 2 bottles so I try something new anytime I see something I haven't tried. Lots of great ones listed already. I'm not a laphroiag fan, and especially not the cask strength. Bowmore is very good in all of its forms (10-21). I love bruichladdie. McCallan is a nice dram, but overpriced for me. I'd take glenlivet or glenfiddich over mccallan at the different price points. Glenmorangie has some great 'different' barrel finishes, nector d'Or I think is my favorite, but I need to try it again. Glengoyne is a fantastic malt especially the older variants. thanks rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
