Whiskey/Whisky

Evening Gents, thinking about getting a good whiskey in for Christmas, would like a decent Scottish malt, but don't want to pay more than £60, any suggestions?

Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Talisker. If I need TCP, I'll get some TCP.



Highland Park, Cragganmore, MacAllan (12 year old), The Singleton, Dalwhinnie, Aberlour, Jura, Fettercairn, Longmorn.

All excellent - depends on the mood.

Lagavulin, Talisker, Cragganmore, Dalwhinnie and Aberlour were all sites I visited regularly in my last job.

All lovely in their own way but Talisker would look great from out on the water I'd say. Dalwhinnie looking superb from the A9 when the snow has been falling.

The most picturesque site I went to was probably Caol Ila although behind the white walls and picturesque scenery it is a dump

The further away from a glass of Talisker the better.

Dalwhinnie does indeed sit well in the snow but I think for sheer prettiness Aberlour takes some beating. It's everything you expect a distillery should be.

The setting of some of the Speyside ones is truly stunning.

They are indeed Subs, but the overtly peaty should not be mentioned in the same breath.

Sipping a malt should be a pleasure, not a challenge. Laphroaig and Lagavulin are the Vindaloo while Talisker is the Phaal (!). If that's yer bag, fair enough. I just don't enjoy swallowing a cat with its claws out
