GiGi Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Found a few good deals in Morrisons in the past too. That's as cheap as you'll get any decent malt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I think 20 single malts will be more common in future. Supermarket buying power, Whisky undergoing a self correction with the likes of maccallan and glenfiddich having committed to massive over production and challenging export conditions unless post Brexit trade deals can be negotiated quickly. There will be a few casualties but hopefully the days of distilleries pumping out a new NAS or port/Sherry finish every year will be done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the speyside but if you like singleton or Glenrothes you might. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 A few years ago the Co-op in Leven once priced their Glen Grant at £9.99 a bottle. Pretty certain it was meant to be William Grant but someone got confused/ fucked up. We took it turns to buy a bottle every couple of days before they ran out... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Was having a drink with my cousin a few weeks ago and he got out a bottle of Aberlour 12 year-old. The first whisky I've ever been able to drink neat without forcing the first few sips. Absolutely glorious stuff, desperate to get my hands on a bottle of it myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterlichtie Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Just opened up a bottle of Auchentoshan American Oak. Quite a sharp initial intake leaving behind it's fruity, vanilla taste. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Their own Islay is nice. I don't like the speyside but if you like singleton or Glenrothes you might. Yeah their own Islay was still at the original price of £25 otherwise that would have been the choice. Tried the Speyside last night - was OK considering the price but nothing more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClydeSI Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Local tesco had no ardbeg, but picked up 3 x 20cl talisker 10 for a fiver each, and two of these half price at £25 each. Might actually go back and buy some more and punt them on the auction site, especially as I read somewhere that they are cutting down on age statements 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClydeSI Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 It was really nice. Very smooth, almost floral, and there must be whisky older than 12 years in the blend. I don't think I've tasted a "12 yr old" like it.The good lady isn't well and away for an early night tonight so I've gone back to try the Lagavulin 8 again. I had one nip out the bottle and wasn't that impressed at the time, but on 2nd attempt it's actually all right.Wouldn't be paying the same price as the 16 for it, but it was another amazon discount over Xmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Tried the Hazelburn 10 last night and also 14 first-fill. They were exceptional. I'll be getting a bottle of the 10 for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Ardmore 10 is shite. Tastes too bitter and strong like a cheap blend to me. Don't know if the previous beers affected it. [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up the Hibiki 12 in the airport and really rate it. Very floral ( smells of emulsion paint),sweet and smooth. Can't wait to finish it and then use the bottle as a decanter for water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
