plenty sherried fruit and some other fruit too; vanilla and a lot of honey. good oily mouthfeel and a long spicy finish. lots of oak

Glenglassaugh Revival needs reviving alas.. A lovely dram for money

Not at all... My usual is Laphroaig, but whenever I happen across a singleton I do find it eminently quaffable. I might lower the tone with this Highland Park, which was on offer at Tesco... Surprisingly nice, if a little pointy around the edges.

Currently drinking / in the queue (in between ibuprofen doses):

Singleton
Highland Park
Talisker Skye
Tamnavulin

Impressive collection, Grant. I tend to have one or two on the go and replenish. Might be interesting to find the space to have a real selection to choose from. I'll think on that.

By the way, I'm firmly of the opinion (reinforced by some expert whiskey drinking training I once took part in) that a splash of cool water in your whiskey is the correct way to drink most whiskeys... Or straight, never ice unless it's' throat burn'.

What do you call a good price, Grant? Looks like about £70 a bottle at the moment

Think it was about £55 when ordered. You should still pick it up under 70 tho

after a nice roast beef dinner, a tomintoul speyside glenlivet 12 yr old oloroso cask.. rather good for not too much..under 40...

creamy mouthfeel with sherry, and orange; a bit of caramel. nice finish too

Deanston 18. New bottle. Naughty me. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...dc1e2b628d.jpg

one of my top 5 bourbon heavy malts.. a touch of fresh burnt cask in this that you only taste after a really fruity malt.. almost tastes like smoke. very rich this.

A Redbreast Lustau.

Not much left of this, maybe one more.
