Single malts

[Blue 1]

My mum likes that one a lot.

So do I. It's like a sherried Islay. Actually, that's exactly what it is.

Is it too early for a glass of Oban 14 at 6am watching a frustrating football team?

Just bought my mums Xmas prezzie - Dalmore 12 yo.

Also, I'm told there's a whisky bar opened on the corner of Leece St/Rodney St.

Needs a visit methinks.

Just having a new one on me; Bushmills 16yo single malt.

Very nice indeed. Darkish in colour, sharp but not to the point of bitter. Very well balanced.

Getting one in before the birthday celebration...

A classy single malt in memory of our classiest #ForHoward.

You took us to the top Legend...RIP Howard

Carrying on with my skint as f drinking, I took a look at Aldi's Highland Black 8 blend weighing in at a hefty £13 a bottle, which is more like the price of a bottle of wine. Well I have to say it's a bloody nice drop and for the money you should all have a bottle as you can swig it liberally without any guilt. Don't just take my word for it though! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...h-Whisky-wins-gold-medal-industry-awards.html

(side note, thanks for that expression, GOT.)

With Summer approaching here, I normally take a break from the single malt unless celebrating something...but you guys will keep me entertained in this thread during your cold winter night I am sure

Oh my lord, so many good offers out there at the moment, I truly feel like a dog with extra appendages. What do I go for? Anyone tried Talisker Skye (available at £25 down from £39). I've tried the Storm and liked it.

I have tried it I think and it's ok.

Not memorable but still good.

Malt esers are at a good price at the moment.

Worth a punt at £25 then?
