    Picked up a bottle of Dalmore 12 the other week, it's sublime. Tastes like warm toffee, it's gorgeous.

    Have a bottle of the 18 (£90 :/) for Christmas. Worth a try after how lovely the 12 is.

    Speak the truth hussy!

    I've got some lovely bottles ready for Christmas drinking. Personal favourite The Balvenie Signature (Morrisons £24.99) and also the Bowmore (Sainsburys £21.99).  Considering getting a bottle of Aberlour (Morrisons £19.99) as well.

    Fucking hell, those Blade Runner glasses are about £50 each. You could get one very good, or two decent, bottles of whiskey for that. Mental.

    Got some W.L. Weller 12 bourbon recently, really smooth stuff and not bad value all considered. Can see that going quick. Have a bottle of Blanton's Gold on the way as well, pricey but supposed to be top draw.
    Considering getting a bottle of Aberlour (Morrisons £19.99) as well.
    That's the 10yr? I've got an Aberlour 12 and it's pretty nice. No idea how they compare but seems like a good price.

    Well... looks like I might be giving up my quest to "get into" the harder liquors. Have tried a load of the "drinks by the dram" samples from Masters of Malt but frankly they pretty much all taste like paint stripper to me.

    I've added water to some which did make them a bit easier to actually taste, but I really couldn't see me drinking any of them without a mixer.

    Hey, don't knock it. There's a lot to be said for a shot of paint stripper in this thread.

    I'd never have got into single malts without someone offering me a glass of Highland Park once upon a time. If I hadn't have liked it, well, my booze budget would be a lot lower for a start.

    I think I'm more of a wine sort of person. Though I'm yet to develop a taste for white wine so as of yet I can't stake claim to a fully working mangina.

    Yeah, I'm a red wine kind of a guy too. Although in practice I'll drink almost anything except white wine, cheap whisky and ouzo.

    He's the guy who used to run tours of the Jura distillery. Pretty sure I'd never be tempted to pour a glass of any kind of whiskey and then throw it out before pouring some more though...

    I also find adding water to single malts a little overrated...

    Oh I don't agree at all.

    Some are fine without, but others really develop with a dash of water. Especially the cask strength drams.

    But it's all a matter of opinion I guess.

    No I prefer water. Glen Moray is excellent value from Aldi. Teachers is my favourite blend.

    Just purchased a bottle of Ardbeg Uigeadail for a present for my mum and dad on my wedding day.
    Anyone tried it?
    £50 a bottle, and all the reviews I've read have put it in their top 10 of all time!
    Couldn't afford the number 1 at £550!!
