Groucho is your man tbh. I'm a novice by comparison. It was him who convinced me to try Bunnahabhain, for which I am v. grateful.

Yes mate. Both distilleries do more expressions but those are the two you'll see most.
Pah, too kind. I find the more "research" I do, the less drinking I do........

Superstar..and cheers!
I buy a bit of my whisky from that site. That's a good price for Ardbeg 10, even factoring in the shipping.
They do samples of lots of whiskies, too, which is both a good way of finding out whether you want a bottle of something and also a good way of trying rarer whiskies you'd (well, I'd) never be able to afford in a million years.

Got a gift of that Haig whisky that's been promoted recently - single grain rather than single malt. Nice enough but extremely light-tasting relative to the hairy-arsed Islays I'd normally drink. Good for a bit of contrast.

Prefer the 15yo Glenfiddich.
Personally, a Dalwhinnie, Royal Lochnagar or Laphroaig are nice common tipples which are within a fair price range.
Unfortunately, I do not drink a single malt much anymore regardless of my love for the stuff.
After one or two I turn either into the most jovial individual you could meet, or extremely aggressive. The latter isn't something I like. So, I pretty much limit have a short unless I am at home by myself and maybe before bed.
What is worse, I've got about £800s worth of malts in a kitchen cupboard. My brother works as an exec for Diagio and continually buys me a bottle each year for my birthday, even though I am drinking less than half a bottle a year.

Had that Tramps and not bad. Very smooth without the burning in the back of the throat you get with some. Not much flavour in the aftertaste though but easily drinkable!
For the price it's decent!
I also drink this quite often..

If you like the Green Spot Tramps you should try this. Same price wise as the Green spot but slightly superior in my eyes. Not too peaty with a nice taste of vanilla, Sherry etc. Give it a try if you see a bottle.
