shepp 2,285 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 I like Glenmorangie, nice citrus notes. I don't like the smokey stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squeamish5 309 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 If it's a present for someone, and you don't know their preference, I'd avoid the Islays as not everyone likes that smokey creosote flavour. (Fools). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gin 498 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Cameron Brig. My mate was given a bottle when on a shoot in Scotland, and its in my opinion the best by a long way. About £21 a bottle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Cant stand the stuff myself. One small sip and i can taste it hours later. Vile! my old man drank highland park it was expensive back then i dont know what it would cost today . I believe its from the Orkney Islands. Reputedly a very good dram. I did drink 5 minature bottles of drambuie on a flight to ibiza cz we drank all the smirnoff. f**k me i was spewing on the runway when i got off the plane. I actually feel my stomach turning over thinking about it now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Treehands. 1,379 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Islays are of good peaty flavour, Lagavulin being the best . Though Edrador is nectar of the gods. Have a small collection of single malts ..19 .. Always taken neat. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
