Bairnardo Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Ardbeg. Definitely Ardbeg. Oogie is also sherry cask matured so it's very rich. Ardmore is still good but it's more lightly peated whereas Ardbeg are heavyweights in that dept.I like Bruichladdich offerings specifically because I get the peat without too much sweetness. Iv liked lots of Islay malts but often theres too much sweetness there for me.Bruichladdich seem to capture that brine flavour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardbeg generally aren't too sweet outside of Oog (Corryvreckan is really densely peaty and nowhere near as sweet). Bruichladdich do loads of mad finishes and experiment with casks a lot of other distillers don't so it's a mixed bag with them. I'd agree their spirit is more cereal-y than sweet though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is its a little like Aldis. An unknown scottish malt , 19 years old , only 428 bottles from the cask blah blah blah. However at 40 bucks worth a go. Decent abv and a sherry cask,sure it will be decent for that price 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Any good? https://vm.tiktok.com/nJePVM/Yeah I’ve tried it, it’s nice. Wouldn’t be able to tell you how it tasted though as it was a couple of months ago.Also, that video is absolute hell. Not sure what’s worse, the big f**k off iceberg or the backing track. Hate Tiktok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountyFan Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I'm taking my first tentative steps away from my highland/speyside/non-peat/non smoke comfort zone. I have been really enjoying the Springbank 12yo cask strength and yesterday I opened a Bowmore 15 that I got ridiculously cheap on amazon. By christ that's lovely stuff. Before I properly got in to whisky i had obviously tried lagavulin/laphroaig etc etc but never was able to enjoy them. Now I'm thinking it's time to revisit. Can someone please recommend the 3rd whisky on my peaty/smoky/island/islay journey to follow the bowmore 15 and springbank CS? £50 a bottle limit please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountyFan Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Yeah I wondered about PC since its obvs come up a few times in the last few pages on here. I shall investigate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I'd probably recommend Ledaig or Kilchoman before the harder hitters like PC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
