I have a Deanston virgin oak now in the glass. A lot of times i can but it for 23 Euro, and that is a great price. And l like it because, it is lesser version of the 12 and the 18 year old, but it has the same taste, but sharper. One i also love, but is getting harder to find, is the glendronach 8 the hielan. Craigellachie 13 is just fantastic, just like deanston 12.

I had a couple of drams last night and really loved it’s depth & meatiness (umami) like flavour. The last Islay I had was Laphroaig 10 years ago but I like the Ardbeg wee beastie more.

I also, in the last several years, don't drink Bunnahabian 12 by itself. However, I find it an excellent blend ingredient. 60% bunna 12 40% Ardbeg Ugidail OR if you have access to independent Bunnahabian Stoicha heavily peated cask strength bottles, blend them together and let it rest for 6-8 weeks to marry and you have a Islay sherry peat bomb. Cheers

I've tried 8 of these, haven't had Glen Moray, or the Old Pulteney Huddart. As far as prices go, some of these will be in a different order in NZ. Port Charlotte 10 would be off the list, i.e. > $65 USD, Bunna 12 would be higher up the list, i.e. more expensive. I would have Glencadam 10 and An Cnoc 12 on my list. I would also have the Loch Lomond Inchmoan 12 over the standard Loch Lomond 12. Cheers!

I love it I have to try a Loch Lomond (I love the loch itself - gorgeous place) Wee Beastie is different. Sometimes it’s the go-to isla, but more often Laphroaig Q cask.

Solid list but I'd remove Deanston Virgin Oak as they have recently raised the price considerably and is now at Glencadam 10 price levels. Although the Virgin Oak was the top pick compared to the Glenfiddich 12 and Glenmorangie 110/12 at its old price, it can't compete IMO with others at its new price.

I had a shot of Craigellachie 13 at a steakhouse In Healdsburg, CA last month. It was a company event. I already had about two glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon by then; so I don’t know if my taste buds were on the mark when I tried the whisky…. All I can remember is the Craigellachie was very unique. I’ll be hunting for a second shot in the near future. On a separate note, I’ll be traveling to Taiwan in early Jan. Let me know what you would like from California.

Well. there is a difference between buying a solid Single Malt Whisky which is guaranteed to please, and buying Single Malt which will impress your boss/friend whisky enthusiast but spending the least amount of money. For the first category, I'd absolutely start with your No.1 choice. *Single Malts on a really tight budget but are still really descent:* Glen Moray Classic / 12/ Any other at that level. Cheapest decent single malt on the market. Glen Scotia 10. Yes, it's bottled at 40% but really cheap and gives you a genuinely delicious taste of Campbeltown whisky. Highly recommended. Speyburn Bradan Orach. Dirt cheap. What a superb and delicious whisky with apples. pears, honey, raisins and a squirky distillery copper still aroma to it. Love it! Glencadam American Oak Reserve. 40% but gives you almost the 10YO experience but at a much cheaper price. Still impressive. Glencadam 10. Superb single malt. Great tasting and suitable for both lists. Loch Lomond Original. Cheaper than the LL 12 and gives you pretty much the same experience but at 40% abv. Glenfiddich 12 American Oak. Slightly more expensive than the standard 12 but gives you a whopping yellow fruits flavour experience. Glenmorangie 10 / 12. Not as good as it used to be a few years ago, but still a whisky which no one will say they didn't like. Auchentoshan American Oak. Yes, I know many make fun of this, but honestly it's cheap and very tasty. Arran Barrel Reserve. A really descent 43% single malt with the Arran house character very much in tacked. *SIngle Malts on a budget but will impress:* Glen Moray First-Fill 48%, Non-Chill Filtered. Incredibly cheap and a real integrity bottling. Will impress at an incredible budget price. Glencadam 10. Natural Colour, NCF, 46% abv. Natural Ex-Bourbon maturation. Guaranteed to impress. Loch Lomond Inchmurrin 12. Incredible complexity for the price. Loch Lomond inchmoan 12 Ardnamurchan Ad. Anything from Ardnamurchan is guaranteed to impress. Balblair 12. Another distillery with a big reputation. No one turns their noses up at a Balblair. AnCnoc 12. Not impressive on paper but has a cult following. Laphroaig 10. Probably the oldest classic on the market. Guaranteed crowd pleaser. Lindores Abbey “The Casks of Lindores”. A new distillery but releases lovely tasting whisky. Arran Quarter Cask. An alternative to the Arran 10. This I think brings you more complex and freshness.

You named six whiskies there which I really like, which is striking for a list of ten. Bunnahabhain 12 Port Charlotte 10 Ardbeg Wee Beastie Ardnamurchan AD/ Arran 10 Ledaig Sinclair Some others in that price range that I think are great: Kilkerran 12 Glencadam 10 Tobermory 12 (which I like a lot more than most people judging by reviews, but hey ho). Other options could be Deanston 12 (though it’s never clicked with me to be honest), and Benromach 10. Maybe Ancnoc 12.

You say that Islay is overpriced, but I get Laprhoaig 10 for $43, which is about the same price as the 5 yo Wee Beastie, and I think it's better than the Ardbeg 10. (You may talk about chill filtering and color, but it's better, sorry.)

I really prefer the Ardbeg 10 over the Wee Beastie. The price difference is not that high. Ledaig 10 should also be on here. Not a fan of Loch Lomond. Also, where I live Hazelburn 10 is cheaper than some of these and at least deserves a mention. Finally, it may be personal preference, but I think Lochlea (specifically Fallow 2nd crop but Our Barley and Cask Strength Batch 1 are all good) deserves to be here. Somehow the PX cask comes through in the young whisky and makes a very interesting fruity-sweet profile that tastes a lot older than it is. EDIT: Forgot Craigellachie 13. I'll never forgive you for calling it a weirdo whisky 😢

@malcolmairair205 it really does! I remember a real Tesco Value whisky I bought in 2003-2005 that has almost exactly the same label! 😂 it was £7.99 in 2003-2005! I really love this Thompson Brother's release. I had to buy a second bottle. I just hope they re-release something similar in the future 🤞🙂

I don't understand why the Glenglassaugh Sandend is so popular. The 12 is fantastic, and the Portsoy is also very good. Sandend comes across as young, spicy and unbalanced.

I so far cannot get into scotch whiskies. They smell good, but they seem weak and watery in taste. As well, US Bourbon and Canadian whiskey are stronger and taste better for a cheaper price. I haven’t given up on Scotch yet, but it is definitely not as seductive as Bourbon.

Just guessing most of your audience is in US, so why not base the prices off of a store like Binnys or Total Wine. Just a thought.
@Gwhisky
@Gwhisky 27 күн бұрын
Are the big chain prices consistent across all the states? If so, that might be a good idea. In my experience the US stores doesn't boast quite the same selection, though. At least the online ones. But I agree, that's a good idea and I'll look into it. Cheers! 🥃
