TxRover Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Found a nice little set that seems a decent enough selection to get a little back into the game. I’m planning neat with a few drops of water, unless someone has a better idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not had clynelish for years but can remember really liking the 14. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Clynelish 14 is lovely stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 First up a wee dram of the Talisker 10. Sweet note, mild mouth feel and huge peppery finishing note. Quite an enjoyable return to the fold, and if that’s the youngest, the others should be interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GS Double Cask is cracking whisky, the Rum cask edition was really bang average though. A lot of the best stuff is unaffordable now so its very much still a hit or miss distillery. A try before you buy. Yeah Ive been doing a bit more tastings as of late and it's opened my eyes up to other distilleries. Some I've gone to I've not rated at all but they can all pull a decent one out. I've moved away from value purchases for bottles unless I know it's decent or heard about it through word of mouth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.Aye.R Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Picked up this on recommendation as a value malt. On offer for an incredible £23 in Morrisons. Most other places flogging it for low 30's. Can confirm its braw stuff. Yet another Glen Moray that punches well above its weight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Got this in keswick. £33. Local supermarket (booths) was charging £40, but a gift shop had it cheaper. Really nice. Could have had a Penderyn for £28, but not a fan of the Welsh stuff. Bought a miniature the day before to test it. Really nice. First time I've purchased stuff made in England, and I'll probably get one of their others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Ardnamurchan because I saw it and I was jealous. The dark one is a 9 year old Caol Ila sherry finish. Inside of the barrel must have been like treacle. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet its Sue Perb Got to try the Caol Ila 12 today, and it is a lovely dram. Much less peppery than the Talksker 10, with a more flavourful mouth as well. Less burning, more notes, and a lovely warm feeling afterwards. A very nice single malt Scotch! Now really looking forward to the 14. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 My latest acquisition, £32 from Amazon. Benefitted from sitting a while in the glass. Enjoying it so far and definitely thirty bucks well spent. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really nice, the first sip from the new bottle is all alcohol but the next is just beautiful and it gets better as you go along. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.Aye.R Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Ardbeg 'Wee Beastie' is £34.50 in Tesco. Could not walk past that offer. Tremendous for the price. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) 'Talisker week' on Amazon, looks like a few reasonable deals there for those interested. Edit to add there's a lot of Talisker there but there's also loads of other coastal malts. Edited September 26, 2023 by GiGi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 On the Talisker week, I've had a slow evening so decided to see which deals were actually any good. Picks for me: Oban and Lagavulin distillers editions seem a decent price drop (in 2023 prices) Clynelish a bit under the usual Talisker Port Ruighe is the clear winner at £45, it's not really appeared any lower than that in the last year. Can't remember if I've tried it so might go for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Port of Grangemouth is absolutely rammed full of Glass that they've overbought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
