Why don't we re-title the thread: "Wine, Whisky and Real Ale Recommendations"? (With the tacit assumption that " whisky" also includes "whiskey").

I think only Admin can do this - so Marco what are your thoughts?

Anyway, regarding whisk(e)y, my favourite tipples are:

Auchentoshan
Highland Park
Glenfiddich (12 yr old) and Glenlivet
Lagavulin

and my favourite

Laphroaigh.

I've renamed a thread before(my gallery one).... This Weller is really nice; I'd forgotten how nice as I have had that bottle lying in reserve for some years now, from a time when I was more affluent :eyebrows:

I think we ought to get Marco's approval before anything is changed - he started the thread. :)

most definitely......it was just a thought as whisky, like wine is so varied and a bit of a minefield to the uninitiated.

One of my favorite bourbons, just polishing off the last few drops now.

Yeah, sure, but since we’re changing the title, why not just make it ‘Tell Us About Your Favourite Tipple’, and leave it open-ended? :)

Ah, Eagle rare 10...great choice Dave, and was one of my favs for a long time. They kinda changed it a bit plus upped the price and I stopped buying it but it was, and may well still be a stunning drop.

Yeah, it could work. Lots of different drinks around nowadays anyways. I am not up on most of them as I usually just stick to nice whisky and Bourbon etc. Love wine too but don't dabble much these days although still have a few bottles stashed away :eyebrows:
