No Glen Morangie!?!?!

thats my usual tipple but all of those are cask strength, straiht from the distillery which i visited while on holiday. did not make it to Tain yet but am planning a trip up north soon and will visit the 4 caskmen of Tains headquarters

How do you describe Oban, Rob?

I think I will get a slim bottle of that elixir.

Oban is lovely, its not a highland malt or an island malt so its not as smoky as the island malts, it is a nice middle ground

My favorites:

Raki and Johnnie Black int:

johnnie walker sells well all over the world,except scotland. as a blended whisky its ok but there are much better blends and of course you are always better with a single malt

My latest purchase

Smooth with a rich fruity flavour, it leaves a sweet after-taste.

All in all, a great malt, I'm happy I got it. My next bottle will be an Oban.

Can someone suggest a good $25 bottle?

In Scotland you an only get a bog standard bottle of a blend for that, like Famous Grouse, Bells etc.

The good stuff costs about double that.

Pay $40 and get a good malt, it's worth it.

Any suggestions? Something smokey with a smooth finish perhaps?

well i went and bought a bottle of Glenmorangie the last week as i never feel like my collection is complete without a bottle.

well i just decided i am gonna give it away to my dad for his christmas (whisky, the only gift destined to cause more arguements at christmas than buying your wife a washing machine)

the reason i decided was this, i was in the cash-and-carry the other day and nearly creamed myself when i noticed this glenmorangie box-set with 2 crystal glasses....all for £20:money:

so i treated myself

 

[JCK]

Nice box, Robert.

 

[Bozi]

Nice box, Robert.

cheers she just got it trimmed..........



oh wait

couldnt believe it when i seen it for that price

 

[V]

Is this any good? Got it as a present.

 

[Martin]

You could try it as paint thinner.

 

[V]

I'm no whiskey expert but I'm pretty sure what you just said can be considered blasphemy.

 

[Martin]

No, it's quite correct. It's from Seinfeld.

Single malt is kind of overrated, i mean yes, there is a difference, of the so called "original aromas"
but if you ignore the process, sometimes you would prefer a green label, blended malt, Johnnie over some certain exotic aromas of a single malt. Best value/money = Cardhu, but its kind of rare in my part of the world...
