  1. My favourite dram is bunnahabhain.

    Although other whiskys which I enjoy are talisker, royal lochnagar, highland park, springbank and the Glenrothes.

    I got a cracking deal three weeks ago at Edinburgh airport a litre of auchentoshan springwood and 70cl of the Glenrothes for £55.

    The best pub I've been in for whisky has to be whisky macs in Campbeltown.

    I've had a bottle of glenmorangie for 8 years which has never been opened. I've bern saving it for a special occasion and will be a while before I open it. Also got a bottle of against the grain wax and wane which I bought from oddbins in 2007. I haven't touched that either and looks it will be there for a while yet.

    that is a great deal, airports are always good for whisky.

    i think the Glenrothes select reserve is nice, don't think it has an age on it.

    i like having a bottle for a special occasion, but i find that i declare more occasions special just so i can get out the special stuff

  2. My own favourite region is Speyside for the various choice of single malt. However my own particular favourite single malt is Dalwhinnie 15 year old,closely followed by Glenfarclas 12 year old,Talisker 10 and Laguvulin 16. Over the years i've tried all the regions and the recognised six classic malts,Dalwhinnie 15, Talisker 10, Laguvulin 16,Cragganmore 12,Oban 14 and Glenkinchie 12 but always come back to the Dalwhinnie,although Craganmore is a very palatable malt. For a blend i look no further than a Chivas Regal 12 or if i'm looking for a blend for a special occasion a Chivas 18 or Royal Salute 21. Happy drinking,hic!!

    yeah Chivas 18 and their royal Salute are the best of the blends i think. although they are quite dear for a blend they are well worth it IMO, very nice. i like Speyside whisky. my favorite being the Glenlivet, i got a bottle of their 21yo archive for my 30th last year. absolutely stunning whisky. i see you like the Glenfarclas 12yo too, i think that is a nice whisky also, iv'e never tried Cragganmore, but all the others i have, you are a man of tastesmile.gif

    the pub i like for the range of whisky they stock is the ben Nevis in the west end of Glasgow, for all that it is a big city, Glasgow is short on decent pubs that specialize in whisky.

  3. apologies if this has been covered before but do any pie and bovrilites enjoy a wee dram. i am a bit of a whisky lover and thought that we could share our whisky experiences with a thread.Favorite whisky region, your favorite drams, best whisky shop, best whisky pub etc etc.

    i'll get the ball rolling, the wife got me a bottle of Dalmore distillery managers exclusive 1995 vintage from the whisky shop in Buchanan Galleries yesterday, haven't opened it yet. anyone tried this, i'm told it's a whisky shop exclusive.

    anyway my regular dram is Caol ila 12 yo, it is a very nice whisky and aint a bad price.
