The Whisky / Whiskey thread

[SHAMZ84]

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...

I've gone back to it tonight....Not great...I don't know if my recent love of Islay whisky has changed my palate but I really didn't enjoy the Haig club this evening

I thought Haig club was horrible, Monkeys Shoulder is far nicer in that price bracket. Was in america this week and bought a litre of Woolford Reserve and that is lovely.

How's the Haig Shamz? The only time I've tried it was at an airport at 7 in the morning so I was barely awake, time doesn't apply at airports

Not a bad one, especially when you get it on offer, which it quite frequently is.

It's nice but nothing special but it was on offer at Amazon so not all bad.

Too cold for a smoke, so a vape and a dram

Very interesting. Have you had the Rum before Scooby?

Nope and haven't had chance to try it yet Johnny. I've tried the Cafe version (coffee/vanilla) and it's bloody lovely
