Might not be sold in some markets but the 10 year old will not be going away for us I'm sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peedzy Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Awfy quiet in here recently. Here's my first purchase of the year. To be honest I would have preferred to go for the Oloroso rather than peated, but the price tag of £37.50 swung it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Glenlivet-Nadurra-Peated-70/dp/B01C62NSEY/ref=gbps_img_s-4_7dfe_828b802f?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_p=f0110363-b410-4b20-a02e-ab660b6f7dfe&pf_rd_s=slot-4&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_i=gb_main&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=TBEVR8TVBG36CW9K8GY6 Edited February 1, 2019 by Peedzy Found the Oloroso for £46.50 so got that instead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Steele Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I've just opened a bottle of Glen Garioch Founder's Reserve. A really smooth whisky - just a splash of water. Loads of vanilla. Best have another dram to make sure it is as good as the first glass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 That’s the Rosebank officially got the planning permission through and I have to say I’m buzzing to see what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Booked in to to do Old Pultney tour on Wed and loking forward to it. Might fit Wolfburn in after if I can even though I did a tasting from them last year and thought it was shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish's Passenger Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Staying in Inveraray for a couple of nights for work, had to pop into Whisky merchants and had a few tasters. This stuff is incredible, if you like smokey whisky. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff is incredible, if you like smokey whisky. Hope you are staying at the George. They have a pretty good selection of malts at not too exorbitant prices.Had a rather good 19 year old Glen Scotia last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a massive step down in quality when they removed it, but if you can find an older bottle it's a fine dram. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI HAT Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 This might sound a tad contraversial and might upset a few folk. I've tried some of the Welsh Penderyn but has anyone tried some of the Indian malts, there's a few being pushed on Amazon at the moment ?? I am waiting for a Dalmore 12 you to arrive but seriously thought of trying one of the Indian offers. Anyone tried them ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I've tried Ka Va Lan before. Wasnt impressed. It was felt and tasted like it had been made with wallpaper paste and not with quality water. Too viscous. Think I've tried Amrut before as well and again didn't care to go back. As for Penderyn I asked to see a bottle in my local, had a sniff and decided it wouldn't be very good at all. Not that all Scotch whiskies are amazing but the best whiskies are Scotch IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI HAT Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Can't disagree with you Gigi, the Welsh stuff was what I would term as a"Lemonader". I have tried a couple of Japanese malts and have to admit liking them. Think I'll save my cash and only invest in Scotch. Ta for the input. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I once tried Hellyers Road. A Tasmanian effort. It was hilariously bad. Proper vile shitAnyway, for those who remember the discussion about the Glenrothes Single Cask for Abbey whiskys anniversary, I have opened mine. Its class. Definitely needs some water at 67% but not as much as you might think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loch Fyne Whisky Shop across the road from the George is decent. One down the street from the George as well, can't remember its name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I'm looking for some advice. We've had a small whip-round at work for a colleague's 50th and I've to buy him a bottle of whisky.He likes a single malt (not too peaty) but is no coniseur. I have £42 to spend. Is there anything special you would recommend, any great deals around? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty other stuff out there for that money too though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to think of easily gettable stuff for you although Amazon is often your friend too for Whisky specially if you have prime for free delivery 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
