Looking to branch out so is there anything people would recommend that would be relatively similar? Ardbeg, Lagavulin, Kilchoman. Most things Islay really. Also Talisker from Skye and Ledaig from Tobermory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are wanting to branch out but like Islay ones also try Bunnahabhain 12 and Bruichladdich classic Laddie. Both have the briny flavour without so much of the smoke. I really like them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did that set you back if you don't mind me asking? Deal of the day on Amazon is Ardmore Legacy for £16.90. Either a coincidence or a cream bun at Amazon HQ got hold of the pricing. In any case that's a terrific price. It's a lightly peated highland malt, nothing special but pleasant enough. Would make an excellent gift or introduction to peated whisky. I like it for mixing a godfather cocktail or a rusty nail. Just helps them not be too sweet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show....On that subject, a guy I work with who has a staggering collection, I mean 10s of k worth probably nearer 100k and definitely knows his stuff rates the Tamnavulin that you often see on Amazon. I have never bought though because for all I generally trust his judgement he is a bit of a jake these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only buy it as mixer or as a gift, there's no way I'd choose to drink it over pretty much anything else I've got. But it is a great price for anyone else, genuine value for money. Can't complain about it being NAS when it's that cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagavulin Distiller's Edition if you fancy splashing out a bit more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I might have posted this already in the thread but there was rumours of the Talisker 10 being discontinued, and essentially replaced by one of the NAS ones (Storm or Skye?). I'm not sure how true it is, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not heard anything like that but you used to hear similar about Bunnahabhain 12 as well being replaced by Stuirerereriisjdher or whatever. I think it'll stay. It's a Diageo distillery as well so I don't think it's a product they'll want to pull. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I found both "Storm" and "Skye" to be rather bland. But on the other hand their "Port Ruighe" is pretty decent stuff. I don't recall the exact details but I'm stocking up on two bottles just incase. It's significantly better value for money than the 18, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If memory serves Sixty odd of her majesties pound things , certainly no more than 65 , picked it up at a tasting in September , @57.8% abv from a first fill oloroso hoggie , it was the best dram of the evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was speaking to the folk at bunnahabhain about that and they said they were looking to scale back in certain market at some point as they didnt have capacity. That shouldn't be an issue now they are going ahead with the upgrade of the site. I'll chain myself to the Skye bridge if they discontinue Talisker 10 but i would be surprised. It has marketability eg being the Bond dram. If i remember right Skye is pish and Storm is fine now you can get it for about £30 but was more expensive than 10 on release but not as good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be extremely disappointed if it is being discontinued. And surprised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI HAT Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 It was the Talisker 10yo I got in my local co-op. Being discontinued hence the clearance price according to the manageress. Going back tomorrow to see if there's any left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might it no longer be the Talisker available in supermarkets and Co-Ops? That seems more plausible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
