trappa 518 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I love a drop of whisky. I buy a bottle of single malt as soon as the last one has run out, and whichever is on offer at the supermarket, i intend to try them all eventually! My favourite so far, by an absolute mile, is Old Pulteney. Its SOOOOO good. STRONGLY recommended. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Me the 12 year old but i enjoyed the glenlivit 12 better but only just. It was the 12 yr old Old Pulteney bracken boy, i only buy from the supermarket and thats all they have but to be honest i dont think my palate would appreciate anything older , im not an expert, just someone who enjoys whisky. Actually i think we have had this conversation before a while back mate. Ive tried most of the "glen" whiskies and i think they are a little hyped up tbh, think they are living on their name. Then again, ive tried most of the "glen" whiskies in the pub so probably were too drunk to fully appreciate. At the moment Old Pulteney has it for me by a mile but im still looking and testing others..........what a hard life. LMAO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MIK 4,763 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Got this 21 year old Aberfeldy from a mate for a days salmon fishing it seemingly a fair dram going to open it next week for my brother birthday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bracken boy 584 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Oh you lucky thing lol. Well i got back from my week down south with my pals and wow the talisker is my dram really nice, followed by the glenmorangie oooh nice also, now the other two bottles was jura and macallan gold which was very dissapointing, the jura was awfull, the local pub 50 yards away had laphroaig which i enjoyed ardbeg ooh very nice highland park also ok and tomatin which wasnt supposed to be as good but its one i would buy so all in all i enjoyed my tastings.
