Yorkshire Pudding Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 For those that like the Islay malts may i suggest you try Asda or Morrisons Islay malt ! Well worth £14 of anybodys money . They are good honest , after sampling these i've never bought a blend ! all the best yis yp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead-Eyed Duck Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Don't touch blends (what a waste!), or anything not Scottish. Off the top of my head going through my cabinet (apologies if one or two of the spellings are wrong!): Glengoyne (my personal fav) Balvenie (smooth) Cardu (peaty but smooth) Bunahabane (marmite'y peat - try it, its good!) Dalwhinie (smooth) Oban (nice) Talisker (nice) Aberlough (10 medal award winner - basically means it suits mosts tastes - a good intro IMO) Lafraigh (only one on this of mine that I don't drink - but many like it for it's massive peat flavour) Glenmorangie (OK) There's probably 4 or 5 more but I can't think of them off hand. Edit: I do have ONE blend: Oly - you are a man after my own heart - my cupboard has a selection of most of those. Never, ever let Gonna near your whisky store - no taste buds at all. Quantity v quality is his motto.... Don Stag's breath - whiskey blended with honey (great for warding off a bit of a cold on a winters day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead-Eyed Duck Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 BlendedFamous grouse Single malts Talisker Glenmorangie aged in port barrel Balvenie (double wood) Aged in port and oak barrels Talisker is my favourite, i used to be happy with grouse until i met dead eye duck who introduced me to the single malts and i must confess to being in danger of becoming a whisky snob if only funds allowed Balvenie is £30ish a bottle the best things in life are most definitely NOT free You have got no bloody taste buds at all Scrounging *** Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Desert Hunter Posted November 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Black Bush, thats a good little number, I bought a bottle of Speyburn single malt earlier in the week, should have bought the bottle of Grouse next to it, a wee bit too boring for my taste. Thanks for the replies, I'll be buying a good bottle of whiskey for Christmas. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I think I read somewhere that BASC had released a bottle of whiskey? Anybody else hear anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokie Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Glengoyne for my all time favourite . Although has anyone tried Grants 100 , You can only buy it in duty free as its a burbon made for the American market. Its well worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancs Lad Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 What is everyone's favorite? I am still searching, I like mostly single malts, with the exception of The Famous Grouse. I am fond of those aged in sherry casks, and I also enjoy a good peaty flavor. Dave Just done another nice bottle.................... Glenmorangie - the one in the smoked oak barrel...................... Well............I say just..........it was done last night after watching the footy...........
