gannonball Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) My local whisky bar did a tasting last night. She never tells who its going to be which I quite like but I was delighted when I seen it was Deanston. A tremendous night.

Was saving it for Hogmanay but decided to treat myself. Haven’t tried it, but sounds a cracker. Unfortunately it’s 40 quid over the secret Santa budget, so will not be adorning the Foot residence this side of the recession. I got given a bottle of Tamnavulin last week. I mean, it’s been rinsed, but it’s the closest I’ve been to pouring a bottle down the sink.

RH33 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Been given a bottle clyneleish that apparently might be worth selling. No idea why. To add to the Highland park I was give that's worth couple hundred. Rather the cash thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moniton Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I'm buying a gift for somebody who did me a favour, he like a Speyside. I want to spend around £50 and am thinking of either Glenallachie 12 or Mannochmore 12, I've never tasted these. Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ian Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Looking forward to finally breaking the seal on the Arran 21 Y/O single malt on Christmas Eve as I play Santa. The perks of being a parent The tricky part will be to not dive back into the cabinet for more! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s the Flora & Fauna bottling of Mannochmore I had it years ago and remember my overall impression being ‘this is why they don’t really bottle it on its own’. Not bad, just not a whole lot to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.Aye.R Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Got a bottle of Bunnahabhain Toiteach a dha this week. Promising first pour, will see how it opens up in the bottle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Previously would have been sacrilege in this thread but just due to the price of anything above cooking whisky, grabbed a bottle of Yellowstone bourbon. A mate of mine is a fan of rye so while getting him a bottle for a Christmas visit I grabbed that at the same time. I've had it before and it's decently priced. I might see myself doing similar with more bourbon and rum if above average whisky remains poor value. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done to death on here but Wild Turkey 101 is the standard here, along with Bulleit (bourbon or rye), Rittenhouse Rye and Four Roses Single Barrel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rittenhouse is very good, my mate is a fan so I've got him a bottle of Sazerac which is apparently up there as well. Another mate has a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 sitting in my house to give him but I've never tried it. That's super cheap though so if it's at all decent then it's a bargain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Had a read through this thread a while back and got my uncle a bottle of Glenfarclas 15 for his birthday. I've never heard someone talk up a present so much in my life. first time he'd tried it, loved it. thank you 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said a few times before but for me, it's the best pound for pound whiskey (or whisky) around. Try it pal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sainsbury’s has Buffalo Trace for £20 and if you were to think of that as a (not that much) poorer man’s Blantons for a fraction of the cost you wouldn’t be miles off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superwell87 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 A firm favourite of mine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I too am intrigued a bit by Bourbon on and moreso, Rye. I need to get a decent Rye at some point. I have however tried a Blantons that was about 50 quid a bottle and it tasted straight up like furniture polish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
