Was slipping down a treat last night...

I was going to add to that, I have kept my Hibiki 12 bottle with around 1/8th left as its impossible to find now, not tried the non-age expression as yet. The decanter bottle is stunning!
I've...
We did, many were sampled last night..... :eagerness:
An end of the year SOTC ahead of New Years Eve party....

The Kilchoman Bramble...
3 new arrivals for the Christmas period, a Caol Ila Distillers Edition, Benromach 10yr and the lovely Bunnahabhain 14yr Pedro Ximenez finish.
The latter is a lovely intense raisin hit!
Good luck with that, the Bunnahabhain 18yr is an all time favorite of mine, seemed to be out of stock everywhere last time I looked, and the price now over £100, was £80 when I bought my last bottle...
Thought this was a great deal.... Caol Ila 2002 Distillers Edition for £50 :eagerness:
...
Thats basically Johnny Walker Double Black :eagerness:
The Ardbeg would be my choice for a gift, the Caol Ila 12 is a fav but can be a bit 'medicinal' for some people, the Ardbeg is a bit more rounded with the peat for an introduction to Peaty Islay, say...
Arkwrights is my local (just down the road in Faringdon) and make a visit there probably every month or so! Such a great shop!
Hi Gary, the Caol Ila 14 is un-peated, and cask strength so its a very different beast. The 18, I would describe as a bit more grown up, the 12 is very fresh and as you say, a slight medicinal...
My 'SOTC' at the moment......

The latest addition to the collection, a long term 'want', the Caol Ila 18.

The standard 12yr is one of my favorites, and the Distillers...
As a note, Waitrose had a good deal of Whisky on offer, including the Bunnahabhain 12 for £28! :eagerness: I could not resist!
My 'SOTC' of Whisky:
Islay - Bunnahabhain 12 and 18, Caol Ila 12...
A Caol Ila 18 is on my to do list, I love the 12 as an everyday whisky and I really like the 14yr Unpeated and Distillers Edition too!
Finished off the dregs of this last night.....

...so one out means room for one more! :eagerness:
Just bought a bottle of this, £45 from Tesco, worth a punt I think. I love IPAs, especially the american inspired versions these days....
...
Whoa, what a great trip, I would love to do a Whisky tour, especially on Islay!
I do love the Kilchoman, especially the Loch Gorm. Any new expressions that you found on the tour?
In the Lakes for a week with my Dad and Brother so picked up a bottle of this for the holiday, at £40 its excellent value
...
Oooo where from, have they re-released it? Last I heard it was discontiuned? Does it still come in the lovely decanter style bottle?
Edit, just seen, tesco. Will have to pop in tomorrow, if they...
Matching Blue tonight :eagerness:

There was an interesting bit about Islay and Whisky on this show that I caught a bit of the other day:

Not sure if its on iPlayer. Quite interesting if...
I would say anything from Auchentoshan (Tripple Wood), Glenfiddich (Rich Oak or Solera) or possibly something like the Suntory Hibiki would be a good start.
Little Samples bottles are a great way...
Big fan of both those, a real step above the normal blended and other similar in the price range. Got a bottle of the 15yr Solera open in the cupboard.
