Bairnardo Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I once tried Hellyers Road. A Tasmanian effort. It was hilariously bad. Proper vile shitAnyway, for those who remember the discussion about the Glenrothes Single Cask for Abbey whiskys anniversary, I have opened mine. Its class. Definitely needs some water at 67% but not as much as you might think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish's Passenger Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hope you are staying at the George. They have a pretty good selection of malts at not too exorbitant prices.Had a rather good 19 year old Glen Scotia last year.I was staying at The George. Had 6 different malts over the 2 nights. Fantastic selection! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loch Fyne Whisky Shop across the road from the George is decent. One down the street from the George as well, can't remember its name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried some of the Welsh Penderyn but has anyone tried some of the Indian malts, there's a few being pushed on Amazon at the moment ?? I am waiting for a Dalmore 12 you to arrive but seriously thought of trying one of the Indian offers. Anyone tried them ?? Penderyn is weird. Not actually "bad" just tastes of nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I'm looking for some advice. We've had a small whip-round at work for a colleague's 50th and I've to buy him a bottle of whisky.He likes a single malt (not too peaty) but is no coniseur. I have £42 to spend. Is there anything special you would recommend, any great deals around? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty other stuff out there for that money too though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathematics Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 That’s a great shout. on a completely unrelated note, my local Asda has had bowmore 12 at £25 for a few months now. It’s not a great whisky, but I’ll fire into it for £25 a pop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountyFan Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 First ever taste of lagavullin 16 today. I started my whisky career with dalmore and glenfarclas and thought I knew what I was talking about but this is a completely different drink. It literally smells like bacon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a decanter that gets the “ dregs” or “ bottlekill” I suppose that sort of qualifies , but it’s not a conscious thing , nor am I cultivating it , currently it is mostly a bottle of 40% glenlivet founders reserve ( literally I won in a raffle ) I’m a 46% plus sort of drinker with the 2 exceptions , 43% flora and fauna Rosebank 12 yo and Bladnoch 10yo , what’s left of those is NOT going into a homemade blend 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
