My choice of whisky always revolve around these three brands :
1. Glenmorangie : 18 years, Nectar D'or, Lasanta
2. Yamasaki : Distillers (un-aged), 12 years, 18 years (for the rare occasions) and Hakushu (same distillery as Yamasaki)
3. Ardberg : Uigeadail, Corryvreckan
But I do keep an assortment of other bottles such as Laphroaig, Balvenie 16/18, Macallan, Hibiki, etc for varieties and tasting. The Macallan was my old favorite but it has became too pricey in the last 5 years and not worth the money.

Yes, yes ad 100% yes!
I've only tried Yamazaki 18 a handful of times as I find it extremely difficult to justify the price, when in reality the differences between 12 and 18 (to me at least) are so subtle. Plus, it is incredibly difficult to get hold of over here in the UK.
Hibiki Harmony is a lovely regular drinker and I always have a bottle alongside a Laphhroaig 10 and Red breast 12 in my whiskey cupboard

Tamnavulin - can't beat it imo. Usually get it in UK 20Ā£ a bottle. Has nice sweet finish. For price it's cracking

Abasolo is my most recommended whiskey. Itās made in Mexico too. Can make a really good old fashioned.
I do like the Sullivan but for always find the Kavalan smell and taste like Chinese medicine !
R u sure that was the Sherry Cask Solist ? I actually find Scottish Speyside whiskies to be as you described
I don't remember it being a sherry cask, probably an American oak or bourbon. I picked this up immediately after it won gold in some competitions but the taste wasn't to my liking. Since then, I have avoided Kavalan.R u sure that was the Sherry Cask Solist ? I actually find Scottish Speyside whiskies to be as you described
Either the Speyside or the Jap whiskies now.
Islay all the way for me too and a big Laphroaig fan but I would avoid the "Select" personally.
Caol Ila 12 is a current favourite, a great price to quality ratio too
Just had a few shots of the Glenmorangie Signet.
What an excellent drink that was, sweet and smooth with a palate of roasted spices and chocolate. Certainly worth the price compared to the 18 years.

Just discovered this.
Its very very good. Rich, earthy, smokey, but mellow and smooth. And it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Awesome.
