Yeah I was doing some research. Looks like they'd be good to buy for 'interest' but would it be a mistake to buy one based on the distillery that I like? Sounds like they can be totally different most of the time. I love Bunnah' that's the only reason I was drawn to that bottling. That and some birthday money burning a whole in my pocket
Hmn, going against slightly what I was interested in above.. I now have £50 to spend due to getting some vouchers from work. Woops.
For someone that likes Bunnahabhain 12, Longrow Peated, Old Pulteney and Springbank do you have any suggestions along those lines?
Thanks. I actually already had the Clynelish on my wishlist so thanks for reminding me. My friend has recommended Port Charlotte 10 from Bruichladdich but I was so underwhelmed by the Classic Laddie I'm kinda put off.
If you haven't already tried it Kilkerran 12 would be the next logical step from Springbank/Longrow, but it seems to be hard to get a hold of at the moment. Maybe Arran 10, or Oban 14 if you like the coastal vibe.

Thanks. I had the Kilkerran a while ago and did like it. I think my palate has improved a lot since so perhaps it's worth another go when I can find it. I'll check out the others. This voucher is burning a hole in my pocket but I'm started to feel pressure by spending that much on a bottle
How much do you have to spend? And, depending if you have tried any of them already, have you considered getting the classic malts coastal collection? It's 3 20cl bottles and you can usually pick it up for around £40 or less. Clynelish 14 (excellent), Coal Ila 12 (very good) and talisker 10 (not my favourite, but it's been a while since I last had it and some people have been saying it has improved a lot of late).Thanks.

I polished off a bottle of that last night. It's nice, very drinkable. Very sweet for me, nice mouthfeel though, very full flavoured. It was a Christmas present, so make of that what you like when it was alongside 3-4 other bottles on the go 
You might as well leave this thread thenWell I opened the litre bottle of Haig Club Clubman I bought for someone as a thankyou for doing me a favour that they never did... I'm not a massive whiskey fan but its quite alright. I do have to mix it though because I'm a poofter.
Def add some water. Anything from a single pipette drop to a teaspoon maybe? I stumbled across this article the other day which was an interesting point of view: https://scotchwhisky.com/magazine/o...-it/12917/why-i-dislike-cask-strength-whisky/

I'm about to finish my Ancnoc 12
Mostly bourbon, but a bottle of Rye, two Scotch, and the requisite tequila and spiced rum are there as well.
... and apparently I can't post an image and the post won't allow me to edit the link... https://imgur.com/mLEZVY1
, what's your favourite out of the bourbon's.
