Whiskey recommendations

stormcrowuk · Monday June 1, 2015

I'm not really a whisky drinker but I go to Glastonbury every year and I like to take a flask of something to carry around with me. In the past I've mainly had glenmorangie or dalwhinnie . I'm after some recommendations for a single malt that's pretty smooth to the uneducated palette. Price range up to Â£40ish.

Aberlour a'bunadh and Highland Park 12 would be my choices but sherried Speysides tend to be fairly accessible.

Glenfarclas 10yr old would suit that description quite well. Borne of Speyside, it's a very easy to drink whisky. If you fancy spending a little more for something to sit and enjoy in the comfort of your home in the winter, the Glenfarclas 15yr old is pure heaven in a glass.

Oban is my favourite and I have just found "the singleton" that is very very good too!

Ledaig Single Malt beautiful stuff! a young peaty Malt from the Tobermory Distillery, plenty of flavour and it's youth keeps it sweet. Best thing is it's under Â£20.

12 year old Highland Park. Tastes fantastic and easily available in Sainsbury

Asking for whiskey recommendations is like asking for your favorite car, actor, football team etc

Oh, Glenlivet 15

Some great suggestions here I think I might have to get 2-3 of them and have a tasting session before I decide on which to take

Thanks

Thought about aged rum, it's very smooth and uneducated.

Sweet hey-zuice, Tony - you'll have me back on the bottle!

Sorry sailor, it's nicer than that 12yr old.

Highland Park 12 is my go-to cheap dram but for Â£40 you will have a few options, anything from the Balvenie distillery is worth looking out for if it's on special in the supermarket.

This distilery is just up the road from me.

I'm blaming you, Tony - it's all your fault. How about this one? Couldn't resist the story and it's only 40% - so I may manage two sips before I fall over.

Well I've ordered a bottle of Aberlour A'Bunadh Cask Strength tonight and I've got my eye on a couple of other possibles I'll need to order another hip flask or 2 as bottles are not allowed on the site. I look forward to trying them out.
