I picked up a bottle at the distillery a few years ago and kept it as a buy now drink later purchase ( I do a lot of those ). The distillery is a great wee one to visit and they showed us a room with around 12 casks in it and said proudly that this was the weeks production. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Has anyone tried the Aerstone 10 year-old from William Grant & Sons? Available for £20 at Tesco in either Sea Cask or Land Cask. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Brian Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Are any of the supermarket own brand single malts worth a purchase? Always meant to try one, but usually end up buying the better known stuff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I wrang? https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/Offers.htm?articleId=19222 Wouldn't pay more than £20 for most supermarket shelf malt but you'll get what you pay for with them at that price. If you just want an easy sipper for Christmas I say go for it. It's decent for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiemunster Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Not much of a whisky drinker myself, but still enjoying the bottle of Balblair 05 someone gifted me a while back. Received a bottle of "My Blend" Johnnie Walker today as an unexpected wee thank you present. Don't know anything about blended whisky, but looking forward to a wee sample later on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
