A favorite Highland whisky of mine , 46% proof , non chill filtered, bourbon and sherry casks, quite a sweet whisky.

Not one of the big names but a very nice dram, Grant always enjoyed a touch of sweetness.

A complete change , from Tobermory , Ledaig Sinclair series, nice peaty whisky, finished in Rioja. Very enjoyable

Grant was never that big on the peated whisky.

I love peated whiskys: Laphroaig being my favourite.

I love plated whiskys: Laphroaig being my favourite.

A few more recommendations coming in the next few days

As you mentioned peated whisky, a really nice independent bottling, lovely cask strength Islay whisky.

From Morrisons {not the supermarket) the Mac Talla Mara

2017 Cariñena Monte Plogar, Gran Reserva

Something a little different for me - a very decent, yet inexpensive dry red wine from Spain.

Vibrant and primary in colour, it is venous and black cherry-coloured, with a little bit of balsamic character, leading to a firm but juicey palate, unbaked so sweet and sour tight black fruit comes through.

A touch lean in the finish.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and Grenache grape.

13.5% ABV. Serve at 14 - 18C. Can be drunk now, and best before 2027.

About £6 a bottle from Lidl.

Lovely dram but remember cask strength, a wee touch of water maybe

Finishing off the holiday weekend with the Ledaig, a lovely slightly peated dram and not expensive

Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine 46.3%, a nice dram, nice touch of sweetness from the red wine casks used, with a touch of smoke.
