Re: The Single malt appreciation thread.
I'm sitting drinking a 12yo "Highland Single Malt... Selected by Tesco" which was £16 quid.
I bought it because my whisky habit costs a fortune (must stop while my liver is young enough!) and I used to drink Black Bottle as an everyday tipple to keep the cost down, can't get it in England so easily, so I thought I'd try this. You know what, it ain't at all bad! Not the smoothest, but not paint stripper and certainly not any worse than some well known 10/12yo malts, of course it will be produced by the same distillery as one of those malts! Then sold by the cask to Tesco's who dilute and bottle it. It's better than some of the younger novelty crap they do for tourists, such as Balblair Elements or some of the no age statement stuff that the likes of Bowmore produce. They also do a Speyside Single Malt and an Islay Single Malt, I'll try those next and let you know how I get on. |

Re: The Single malt appreciation thread.
Went to Bakewell today, and found a little goldmine of a place, hidden in a small courtyard
http://www.weedram.co.uk/ After sampling Glenmorange AStar, and two others, the fourth sample made him walk away with a 17 yr old Rum Casked Bruichladdich.

Re: The Single malt appreciation thread.

Re: The Single malt appreciation thread.
Practice for the holiday?---The Rosebank must be getting a bit thin on the ground,
unless you have replenished the stocks. Happy birthday lest I forget. Coals to Newcastle????----You still have an unfinshed bottle of Bowmore at mine which I will bring up. Last edited by Dicky Ticker; 17-04-10 at 07:46 AM. |
