Buffs Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Plenty of choice recommended. I was in Pitlochry a couple of weeks ago and was in the whisky shop there and the guy in the shop was pretty helpful.Might just take a punt on one of the whiskys recommended.

Affordable too. If your budget will stretch to it, for a treat, try Auchentoshan Three Wood. Sublime. 5 hours ago, Drew said: Dalwhinnie (probably classed as a Highland, but who really cares?) 15 yo is a favourite of mine. Top of my list just now, however, is the Auchentoshan Triple Wood. A bit pricier than some, but worth every penny. Looks like we need to share a dram Drew... both quoting the exact same two!

I'd recommend Glengoyne - the standard 10 yo is lovely, although can be hard to find. malt whisky very much a personal taste thing though. A personal favourite of mine - I can pick it up in Asda Warrington and sometimes get it for 20 quid for 70cl which is a steal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gies a shout when that offer is back on!I did a whisky tasting at Glengoyne (along with some fancy chocolates), I preferred the 10 and 12 to the 18 & 21.

HSS Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 I don't touch the stuff but I have a bottle of St Mirren whisky from our 1987 Cup win.Would it still be drinkable and,if so,would it taste any different from when it was bottled?

As long as the seal's not broken it should be fine, green glass removes the need for storing it in the dark, but kept upright and somewhere cool it should outlast you.

Still drinkable and will taste as it did when bottled, so long as it's still sealed. For the OP, I'd recommend Aberlour 12yr old Sherry Cask, Glengoyne, Balvenie, and Bruachladdich.

I'm not all that picky about the port I drink. My attitude to port is the same as it is to wine :- drink plonk in restaurants and good stuff at home. At Christmas time and birthdays my kids weigh in with port for me and as in my case they are only a week apart I usually start of the year with a good supply. It seems to vanish awfy quick, though. Evaporation is a terrible thing! The big names like Cockburns, Taylor. Grahams or Croft won't let you down. A bottle of vintage, or even a late bottle, and some blue stilton is a match made in heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a whisky tasting at Glengoyne (along with some fancy chocolates), I preferred the 10 and 12 to the 18 & 21. We did the Glen Ord tour a couple of months back, and, like you with Glengoyne, I much preferred the 12yr old to their 18. The latter was a bit harsh, and moving towards cough bottle territory. Just goes to show that the oldies aren't always the best (personal preference applying here, obviously), and that there is significant taste variance within each distillery offerings. Irritatingly, Glen Ord is only available to the far eastern market, unless you pick a bottle up from the distillery itself. Needless to say, that's just what I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
