    I don't know very much about scotch but not a fan of the peated or smokey flavours.
    So would need some guidance and sampling to get an idea of what I liked.

    Stay away from islay(in general).. most others are mostly not, but some are.. check with master of malt for their rightups etc. you wont go too far wrong. Its rare for speysiders but there are some .. Highland has some.. the demarkation from highland and speyside isnt clear geographically tho.
    Try powers john's lane if your into irish. its rather good

    Another opening.. Wolfburn Langskip.
    This comes out at 58% and fairly young.. Maybe 5 Yr old. Fruits, nuts, ginger, nutmeg, pepper and a shake of brown sugar.. Maybe Toffee too. Its fairly warm and longlasting finish is aided by a teaspoon of water.
    A fabulous whisky this. I've had this before and will get it again. Top class

    this thread has grown well this year.. just having a quick deanston 18yr old...



    One of the great non sherried whiskies, filled with honey, vanilla and butter shortbread. Great price for a top quality whisky. Nice oily mouthfeel and medium finish leaving you wanting more.

    A surprise (late) present from Papa Noel - https://pauljohnwhisky.com/en/singlemalt/peated

    Never heard of it, but the reviews seem quite favourable. I'll be opening it sometime in the new year.

    One of my favourite whiskies - but then I like Marmite as well.

    Everything they do is snapped up as fast as they make it.
    Delicious stuff.
