Is this any good? Got it as a present.
cronios mate i respect you ina lot of ways but johnny walker is pish! nobody in scotland drinks it, we sell that shit to the tourists,literally we honestly do.
do not get me wrong there are a few blended whiskys that are ok but each and every malt has its own unique flavour,aroma and taste on the pallate. not that i am an expert mind i just love the stuff:malt:
I m sure that you will convince me when i ll visit Scotland
I respect your point of view too and i m sure you are right about this,
BUT from my point of view, the financial issue isnt smth that shouldnt be considered.
All i wanted to say, is that green label is better than your above mentioned 15yo commercial whiskeys and not that expensive, but i guess everybody has his tastes.
The commercial single malt i ve tried, IMO are very overpriced for what they offer.
A wealthy doctor gave me a shot of a single malt, highland Glen smth,
his favorite, witch cost him a few hundred euros and i wasnt really impressed. Maybe i had some high expectations, maybe because i prefer older whiskeys no matter if they are blended or single
or just because of the fact, that i was used with the cheap ones. Dont know but i wouldnt pay that money for that and i do not considered it better, just because its more expensive or supposed to be pure.
I preferred Cardhu, single (best drink i ever tried, it left a sweet burnt to my palate, smth like drinking pure alcohol) or blended, but again i wouldnt pay 5-10 times the money, for the single version. In Greece its almost impossible to find it and in Romania, it doesnt exist...and even if you do find it,
it is considered smth exotic and it usually is overpriced...
I m sure that moving to the north would make it easier to find and cheaper to buy. But from my point of view it doesnt worth the effort, since i rarely drink indoors anyway...
If i had your choices, i would probably had another opinion too, i m anxious to try a special Scotish Whiskey that never made it out of the country some time before i die though
and i take your word that it might worth of the effort and the money:malt:
If i grow too old before i get the chance i ll have it, mailed over here!
Any recommendations, whats your favorite?

Then again, Jhonnie Walker Green Label is a single malt whiskey from the big producer and thus it qualifies to be the worst single malt out of guessing and out f experience. I never had a malt that I wouldn't finish my glass. Jhonnie's black succeeded in doing that.
Boz, my latest victims are highly recommended Springbank 15 and Speyside 15
Cheers :malt:
@cronios- i have to say i would not pay those prices either, whisky is vastly overpriced overseas but is readily available here.
what i can do for you is next time i am in pitlochry i will get another wee bottle of Edradour(ok jack 2). i sent jack one last year and he liked it very much, its very special as it is the smallers distillery in scotland, they produce ina year what the big places do ina week, its impossible to find in scotland, enevr mind abroad but it is exquisite. i have a sauterns finish and a super tuscan finish and it is absolutely gorgeous

I new connoisseur :malt:
I like the Highland Park 15 very much. I had a bottle that I finished a couple of months ago. Last week we were working on a Dalwhinnie 15 which is pretty similar to the Highland Park which I would still prefer.
I am starting to fancy more smoked bottles now that's why I am planning on getting me a nice Ardbeg.
