I've not bought any for a while (Lagavulin) around £60 for the cheap stuff!

I stick to the Bushmills or a nice Calvados even a Plymouth gin, just for the

botanicals you understand.

I can remember a time when Lagavulin was actually pretty affordable - I guess that's the price of becoming popular. It is still a particularly nice malt though.

cracked this one open last Thursday night..

 

got it in a hamper last year/ 2020.

its pretty ordinary but grand for supping

I am tonight drinking a Benrinnes 15 y/o. It's only 43% so not too expensive. I bought it as an early birthday present to myself  (I'm not saying how early though)

[P-J]

I'm slowly enjoying my way through a few bottles I received for Christmas and Birthday gifts.
This Tamdhu 12 is rather nice...

I've just opened another of my Birthday gift bottles - Tamnavulin Double Cask Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
It's a staple of UK supermarket shelves and is really rather pleasant on the nose and palate. Very enjoyable.
The double cask refers to initial maturation in American oak barrels before finishing in sherry casks.

 

 

[P-J]

I've just opened a bottle of Aberlour 12 year old, double cask matured in both traditional oak and sherry casks.
Very smooth and really enjoyable.

This unopened bottle of Cragganmore 12 year old has been sitting on my whisky shelf for a few years. I've finally got around to opening it and sampling it tonight.

Quite similar and yet also quite different to several other Speysides I've tried.

Fruit notes mixed with a Sherry influence and a definite hint of smoke. On the whole, a dram worth savouring.

 

[P-J]

I've tried a miniature of the Aberlour 10 year old to see how it compares to the 12 year old.

It's perfectly drinkable, but i prefer the 12.

Today is World Whisky Day - taking place every year on the third Saturday in May.  https://www.worldwhiskyday.com/

 

I'm feeling inclined to a Macallan tonight. I picked up this bottle of 12 year old triple cask matured when I visited the Macallan distillery last year.

 

What will you be enjoying...?

It's a bit blurry, but is it Tesco own brand multi surface cleaner?

That's the posh stuff! You've changed!

I received a nice gift today for Father's Day.
The Singleton of Dufftown 12 year old single malt Scotch.

 

 

[Lady Elanore]

I had a special birthday recently and got a bottle of this as a present   it was pointed out I could have had bubble bath and flowers or a bottle of whisky. I think they made the right choice. I have plenty of bubble bath  

 

Btw I am enjoying it

or a bottle of whisky

Good choice (in general; I'm more of a fan of Islays and West Highlands).

[P-J]

I opened a bottle of Cardhu Gold Reserve single malt Scotch last night and found it a very pleasant dram.

 

 

 

 

[P-J]

Tonight's dram is from Glenmorangie - The Original 10 year old.

 

 

[Crasher]

I have a bottle of 12 year old Dalmore to my right Mrs Crasher bought me back from Pict land but I haven’t opened it yet still drinking AdBlue…🤔

My first time trying an Ardbeg at the weekend - a miniature of the 10 year old.
I wasn't sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised.

 

 

[Mickvrs220]

This weeks offer at asda ,not helping quench the thirst in this hot weather ,but it is nice imo.

[Crucian]

I'm not a fan of old tarry rope whiskeys (not saying old pulteney is), preferring a smoother easier sipping whisky, Jameson original is a very quaffable tipple for me
