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?

Had a few bottles back home but only one out here, which is Ardbeg 10 year old. Thinking of branching out and trying one of the Japanese whiskies next. Been into whisky for a couple of years now, started taking more of an interest when I got a summer job in a whisky shop. Still see myself as quite a whisky novice really, but enjoying getting better informed. :shitwhisky:

Absolutey rotten stuff, i got this guy to give me a wee taste of all these different whiskies once, the whisky experience actually, fucking hated the lot of them.

Don't think the other peaty whiskies are like Laphroaig beyond also being peaty tbf. They don't have the iodine thing going on.
