Whisky recommendations

[Snatiramas]

Clynelish - Only one I drink. Only one I recommend. Generally costs around £30.

My favourite is 18 year old Glenmorangie aged in sherry casks after an initial aging in bourbon casks.
A hundred times nicer than the 10 year old standard and not too expensive.

Not sure if it is still 18 years old, but it used to be.

I found a bottle of this for £15 in Asda a few months back. A very happy bongo I was.

I agree totally with Snati.

Clynelish is the bollox - distilled close to where Glenmorangie is made and imo slightly similiar.

So if he enjoys Glenmorangie he will appreciate Clynelish.

Island malts are a wee bit harsh but a one to consider would be Bruichladdich - a reasonably priced gem.

But overall malts like any other drinks are an indivdual taste and if he likes Glenmorangie, you wont go wrong in getting any variation of that brew.

going to have to say Highland Park - the 12 year old is very nice, but the 18 year old which they are bottling now is the absolute bollocks. Even better than the 25 !

the 12 year old is very nice

No reason for this post other than to have fun with taking quotes completely out of context.

you cant do better than a speyside malt

a 10year old macallan ariston is right it is made for export but thats because most scotts nowadays drink vodka

just remember when drinking a single malt do not pollute with water,ice or a mixer

i prefer a 25 year old but i cant afford that too often

as this is a true crime indeed.

This thread made me go and buy a bottle for myself.

 Unfortunately I got into bourbon recently, and woodford reserve is my drink for the moment.

I might try some of the above suggestions though, they sound so yummy....

Spring water is fine in fact some of the stronger ones need it, just not tap water.

Nothing wrong in adding water to a malt.

Karabiners right its about 'blending' the drink to your prefferd taste.

I know a few distillery managers who do just that.

Now if any of u can get a bottle of the special 'managers' bottles - yum they are the biz.

Hope your man enjoys whatever u get him redimp
