Is that just a stocking issue for Amazon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their core age range goes 10, 13, 15, 17 etc. Unusual numbers. Can guarantee he meant 13 and 15 year old. I've only tried the former. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to try the older stuff in the range at some point. Might include some the next time I buy a set of samples. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was after an away game at Brechin I tried it in a pub not far from the ground. They had the 15 and 17 as well but they'd have been wasted on me at that point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Anyone tried the Bunnahbhain NAS? I notice it’s going for £25 in Tescos, and I was tempted to add it to the next delivery, seeing as their range is pretty limited and I need a replacement for my soon to be demolished King Alexander III pronto. If it’s lousy, does anyone have a suggestion for an affordable and moderately peaty alternative from the Tesco range? Cheers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardmore legacy is nice and is even cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find Jura constantly underwhelming, right across the board. Ardmore legacy might be my go to in this tragic circumstance. Ta! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers!I've read the answers above but I was given a bottle of it for a recent birthday (well, bought it for myself while in Tesco and told my family they were getting me it). I quite like although it's not as smooth and is a bit peatier than the aged Bunnahbhain I've had before. I was in again yesterday and noticed these three that I hadn't seen before. I liked a Glenrothes I've had before and have always heard good things about Glen Scotia although it is NAS whereas the Old Pulteney 12 yo looks a good price. I was thinking of dropping hints for Father's Day, any recommendations (or otherwise)? Am I best just going for the Deanston one at Morrison's? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Glencadam 21 is lovely and 95 quid is decent for a 21yo. I didn't pay that as I have a man in the inside but I probably would. Would I be cynical in think with the Bunnahabhainn refurb they need to shift a lot of barrels out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
