The Whisky / Whiskey thread

Some gifts from the girlfriend. Both new to me and looking forward to trying them


I also pre ordered the Game of Thrones whisky collection today, being a big fan of the show I couldn't resist!

Just had a drop (literally) of the Lagavulin 16 that I ordered. It's good. Strange, but good. As I said earlier, I'm used to Speyside, but this has a complex, almost medicinal sweetness, in some ways, sweeter than a Speyside. The smokiness is there, but nowhere near as pronounced as I was expecting. Reminds me of Lapsang Souchong in a way. Will need to spend more time with this one, but so far, so good.

Try some Jura superstition or tailisker Skye

They are quite lightly peated

I'm sure I've had Superstition, but a long time ago.

I'd like to get into peat; I think it would open more possibilities for me as I tend to stick to Speyside.

Have just ordered some Lagavulin 16. Islay has not been too good to me in the past, but this receives such consistent praise, that it deserves a place in the cabinet. Hoping I like it/grow to like it, if not, I'm sure future guests will help finish the bottle!

i like my Whisky but as a driver (on shifts) i dont get nearly enough time to sample anymore. Im even having a cigar without a wee dram recently.

im Scottish and most of my collection is Scotch. My favorite tipple is Bushmills 10 but my go to Whisky is Bushmills blended - both Irish Whisk(e)y
the only others ive only tried is Japanese whisky and bourbons. the Japanese stuff is really nice and ive yet to try a bourbon id try again!

all the bottles in the boxes are full, ive an attic full of empty boxes lol and a fridge top full of opened bottles

I agree. The 16yr old is my favourite whisky by far.

MrsB bought me a bottle of Lagavulin 16yr old for my birthday earlier in the month, and then a limited edition 12yr old for Christmas that I opened last night. Was much lighter in colour than the 16yr, was a touch smoother and only needed a couple of drops of water.

Good taste. Love both of those. I find the 16 has more punch.

I think I might have grabbed the last one. Google Green Spot Whiskey and see what comes up.
