Got bought a bottle of Jack Daniels Sinatra select for my 30th. Had it a few years ago and it was lovely but could never justify the cost of the bottle with how quick I used to get through them. Saving this for 'special occasions'

Try one of these next, you will never drink that JD crap again!

I think that's a grain whiskey so should be very smooth and a little sweet, let us now how you get on with it.
It is exactly that, very nice! My gf even likes the smell of it. Cool bottle too.

Year 2 of 10 of our Lakes Distillery Founders' Club membership arrived yesterday. Not opened any of them yet so I don't know how it tastes.
port ellen and brora distilleries are to be re-opened
great news if you like lightly peated malts and you have 10 or so years to wait!
and my latest purchases on my way back from Oban
the Benrinnes is a good all rounder and I have had it before, the Dailuanie is very sherried and amazingly smooth
the arran is a new one on me, finished in amerone casks and bottled at 50%, no age statement but reviewers reckon its about 9 years old after its second cask

my wife isnt a big whisky drinker but enjoys a nip if I am pouring myself something nice...but she really enjoys the Benrinnes
really soft and quite a caramel note to it

Picked up the Dalmore King Alexander III, a Laphroig PX Cask & a Chivas Regal Ultis as we went through Duty Free last week.
Not allowed the Dalmore or Chivas until Christmas though
nice selection there, even if your not allowed the Dalmore till christmas its certainly something worth looking forward to - crazy layers of flavour and richness in it
Anyone know if this Tesco deal is likely to be in store also? https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/promotions/A32281449
I'm after a new bottle, I've currently got nothing in the house
My current wishlist is looking a bit like this so any recommendations along those lines would be appreciated? I like smooth, creamy, vanilla-y flavours. No smoke or peat!

Went on a tour of the Adnams distillery over the weekend and felt it rude not to pick up a bottle of their newly released rye - tried some in the shop and it was much smoother than the ryes i've had in the past, will almost exclusively be for old fashioned duties though
