any opinions on the isle of jura 10 year old single malt or the talisker

I find Jura a bit odd - it has a distinct iodine undercurrent and a slightly saline finish. It's not bad, but it's not a syrupy thing.

Talisker, imho, is fabulous - smokey without the standing in a bonfire you get from Lagavulin; clean tasting; and hinting that you're by the sea but not in it. Talisker are doing various named bottling at the moment but straight up 10yo should be the place to start (again IMHO)

I got a bottle last Christmas. Very nice dram.

Also anyone come across this before?


Is it any good?

I tried the Tamnavulin at Xmas time. It's a decent dram for sure.

Got this reduced... never heard of it but sherry cask. Worth a try!

I picked a couple of bottles up from ALDI recently. I really wasn't expecting much at 18 quid a bottle.
I really was pleasantly surprised. I have had worse for more money. I will be trying the Islay next time
I pop in there.

I really like the Islay one...Like you said for the money really can't go wrong ...Need to try the Highland one..

Lots of nice whiskies being consumed here guys. I have had a couple of bottles of the 12 year old Aldi Speyside recently, no photos and I'm afraid, only empty bottles

I was doing the shopping and noticed MLWs stuff was most of the heap, so I sought balance in the spirits aisle:



Many, many, jokes. But apparently decent bourbon.

I'm with you on that Shamz most everything from Islay is great, full of complexity. Comparing Haig Club to a Laphroaig is like comparing a bolivar to a supermarket cigarillo.

That's a good comparison....

I definitely like this one. I'm on my second bottle.

That's on my to buy list...
