I'm in the market for a good bottle of whisky.

Anything up to about £40 I think.

Usually sup basic Glenmorange/Glenfidich but want to get something the level above.

Recommendations appreciated!

Glen Garioch is one my papa used to enjoy.


Try a dram

Can't go wrong with a Macallan single malt. 18 yo sherry cask one cost £74 though!

I have always liked Lagavulin my self.

Have a look on the Berry Bros & Rudd website (www.bbr.com) they sell some lovely spirits.

For that price you will get a nice Glenlivet. Thats a fabulous whisky. Jura is also a nice malt but I can only palet one or two.

I like alot of the Speyside malts as well but make sure you shop around as they can vary in price vastly.

After many years of drinking wisky, i have just discovered this little beauty. The Glenrothes Select Reserve, a Speyside single malt with a character of ripe fruits, citrus, vanilla and hints of spice. Around £33 for a 700ml bottle it is highly recommended.

Highland Park is lovely. Give that a try...

Tamnavulin and cardhu are my 2 favourites.

 

[CliveW]

I think you are going to have fun trying all of these out.

Highland Park gets my vote too. Tesco sell the 18 y.o. for around £60.

When my kids were wee, many years ago, they drank a lot of apple juice. One winter's day, I had been working outside and when I came in there was a "boozy" smell in the kitchen. This puzzled me as I couldn't place it.
Later that day at tea time I asked my boys if they wanted apple juice to drink with their tea. The oldest one, who was about six at the time, said, "Yes, but not the stuff from the glass bottle."
The penny dropped, he had mistaken my Highland Park for apple juice, poured himself a half-pint tumbler full, tried it, hated it, and poured the rest of it down the sink! At about £40 a bottle, I've never forgiven him!

Highland park is nice but I have just finished a Glenlivet 12 year aged bottle and it was great this is the wee chappie : Great value for it

I'm not a regular whisky drinker and I've got unopened bottles of :-

Glenfiddich Special Reserve
Famous Grouse Vintage 1989
Macallan 10 year old
Macallan 10 year old matured in sherry wood

Are these reasonable brands?

Also, what's the best mixer? Dry ginger, lemonade, soda water, ???? ( Just kidding guys. Please don't excommunicate me, or worse)

Hi Leftie,
To answer your question, none of them are any good. In fact as a favour, I will offer to take them off your hands for free.
