Is Dalwhinnie any good as a present to a whisky drinker?  |

Obviously no good as a present to vodka drinker - but you know what I mean.

I can get you a crate for £80, they work out about £7 a bottle, gets you slaughtered but dont drink more than a third of a bottle in one sitting, you'll be ill for a week.

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

At last a subject I know about!
Dalwhinnie is a lovely light malt - it's the one I recommend for folk who "don't like whisky", it gives them a nice gentle starting point.
Personally I'd go for the Highland Park which IMO is the finest all round whisky there is. The 18 year old is pound for pound the best there is but is a tad more expensive.the 12 yr old is just fine.
Hope that helps a bit.

Dalwhinnie is for women imo, although you've got to have a bottle of it in the collection.
A fine present because you save them the shame of having to buy it themselves.

I'd give it away to someone I don't like very much. |

Opinions on Talisker pls?
Superb malt - but not for the faint hearted. Very peaty & pungent. Some will tell you it's the best malt on the planet, others will tell you it's minging & tastes like TCP. To be perfectly frank I don't think there's any "bad" malts out there. Everyone has different tastes. There's a few (such as Aberlour) that I just can't stomach, but others will love the same whisky as much as I hate it. Only way to be sure is try as many as you can and decide which are your favourites. We stock about 50 malts and I think our job is to try & find one that suits the customer. For example, I would never give a "beginner" a Talisker as that would probably put them off whisky for life because it's so strong. I'd start them off with something like a Dalwhinnie or a Glenkinchie as they have much milder flavours. If they are very rich then I just start them off with the Highland Park 30 year old and hope they buy more. |
