Saw a suggestion on another thread about starting a whisky thread so thought I'd give it a bash.
I'm a relatively newbie to the malt but have been giving it a concerted effort over the last year or so. Developed a nice wee collection and done a couple of tastings etc. One at a fancy whisky place in Soho and an unofficial one in the bar on the Royal Mile which used to be EH1 (Can't remember what it's called now).
Not a huge fan of massive peat monsters or even Laphroaig or Ardbeg. I do quite like Highland Park 12 and Jura Superstition both of which are more lightly peated. Quite like some of the Speysiders like Balvenie 12 and also Glenlivet 14 which is a lovely woody number. Also a massive fan of Auchentoshan Three Wood which is quite sweet and toffee-ish. I've also really enjoyed Old Pulteney 12 which has a weird combo of sweet and salty. Very nice indeed.
Am currently working my way through a 10 year old Aberlour which is dece and have a Jura Turas Mara once that's done. Looking forward to picking up a few bargains in the run up to Christmas.
So THF, over to you, what are you currently drinking and what are you looking to get into next?
