Whisk(e)y reccomandations

[Olgaline]

Right,
Promted by Toht's Woofer thread, I thought I'd make an update on my
whisky reccomandations

- Longrow Gaja barolo 7 years cask strenght. roughly £57
(really impressed with this whisky, and you should let the age scare you one bit)

- Bowmore OMC 21 roghly £85
(This is closing in on my favorit whisky to date within price reason, soft on the nose. with a contained almost crafted explosion on the palate, that ends
of in a sweat smokie finish, love it )

- Longrow 18 years. roghly £120
(A very distingtive whisky, that takes you on a clear cut three part journy n-t-f "in a good way")


If you want something abit special, abit different, go for the Gaja barolo for sure! I can almost garanty you taht you wont be disapointed.

ive not been able to afford anything new recently but id also add to the list glengoyne and auchentoshan for something none-smoked.

glengoyne is better though, imagine eating chocolate-orange and youre there.

 

[Olgaline]

well,
If anyone out there is looking for a good intro None-smoke Whisky
I'd personally go with, Bailie Nicol Jarvie and priced at roughly £17
it's a steal. blend consists of Glen moray 15, Noth british grain whisky,
and glenmorangie.

tonight I'm going to try this: GLENROTHES 1985
They have it down at the Cockney so gonna give it a go altho £6 for a dram is kinda steap for me.

but then again, £6 for a 20 year whisky 1985 bottled 2005 ? well i guess it's fair

Well i can suggest(even if i can't say suggest, don't know why) Speyburn 10 year. It's not the best, but at 30e(around here) it's a good price for that quality scotch.

Except that I don't feel a difference in taste between a good standard whiskey and something as expensive as fluid gold.

Same goes for vodka, a good vodka is good enough and a bad one I just don't drink.

That being said I like Japanese single malt most.
