Next time we're out mate, I'm gonna bring a bottle of the Suntory Hibiki 12.. You will be very very impressed..

After that, you can bring the Suntory Yamazaki Mizunara.. A bargain at £750 a bottle

At £750 a bottle maybe I'll bring us 1 each :eek:

Where did you find out about the Hibiki and what made you try it?

I was in a hotel in Stranraer and they had a Whisky trail on the top shelf.. This was before they restricted my expense account.. As it happens, it was JUST before they restricted it :D.. We tried a few different tipples, including a Brandy that had been rescued from a shipwreck just off the coast.. After sampling all the Whiskies, we then went curling on the rink downstairs.. Those stones are heavy aren't they?

I nearly stayed there last year with work. Instead I went here....... http://www.lighthousehotel.co.uk/

Niiiiice.

I had a fellow Japanese barefoot businessman trying to climb into my room through the window, due to it being his fault I got locked out, (the proprietors don't stay on site), which is another story......

No, but we did think it was funny trying to hit one of my colleagues as he was walking down the ice. Looking back, it was a bit dangerous !!! Nice hotel though. Very traditional. We had to be announced into the Dining Room on the Sunday night.

Well I'm not really a big drinker these days but had a tipple of some 'Auchentoshan' at my god daughter's christening and was pleasantly surprised that it twas rather nice. Thinking of treating myself to a bottle of whisky for the occasional nip over the festive season and to celebrate moving in day.

My brother recommended Ardbeg Uigeadail and I thought I'd see if you guys had any recommendations? Maximum budget is £50. So over to you lads and lassies what would you recommend?

I got a bottle or Ardbeg Uigeadail this year and it's lovely. Also Lagavulin is gorgeous if you are into peaty ones.
 
As a relative novice among all these connoisseurs, for my 2 penneth I can recommend Monkey Shoulder. It's a blend, it is quite a smooth intro, unlike some of the peaty beasts that are being plugged by seasoned whisky drinkers who have forgotten what it's like to still have taste buds.
It's sub £30 a bottle, available in tesco, and has a funny name. What more could you want.
