Whisky II

[hifilover1979]

I was supping this with my brother & Dad last night; brother picked it up at The Whisky Box in Dunkeld whilst they were there earlier this week:

It's VERY nice indeed and would highly recommend it

JW Green Label finished as I pour over the remains into my hip flask for out jaunt away.

I found the green label totally uninspiring if not a tad boring to drink. Needs replacing, but what with? not too sweet.....

Not sweet; a touch briney, smooth and interesting

The Green Label isn't a bad drop IMO; but it's nothing to write home about really...

Green Label’s fine with a huge discount. @gintonic , for hip flask duties in a more austere style, the Old Pulteney is decent at it’s reduced price.

P.s. if you can afford to wait, the Stuireadair is regularly discounted to £25.

Good call; another briney whisky, but not smokey etc

If only the Navigator was still available

Stuireadair is what I tend to have in my hip-flask, it's very good - especially when discounted to sub £30.

As was passing the Whisky Castle earlier I had a little look in and came away with a bottle of the Gordon & MacPhail Caol Ila 13 old, which I'm looking to trying tonight.

Just opened the bottle Glen Scotia 15 I bought in January. It is an absolute delight.

And very nice it was too.

As I had to make up an Amazon order to £20 yesterday I went looking for whisky. Got jura 10 for £25 and, bizarrely, Crabbies single highland malt at, wait for it, £16. You can pay nearly that much for Bells, so even if I end up mixing it it's no loss.

There is a great whisky shop in Skipton North York’s called “the Wright wine company” they have a great selection and are responsible for introducing me to Compass Box. The world would be worse off without John Glaser. Two of my go to’s at the moment are Peat Monster Arcana, and Hedonism Felicitas. The peat monster wipes the floor with Talisker, if you like Smokey and peaty you will like this one

To be fair, at the price it wants to be better. £85 vs£45. I like the sound of the shop though, I'll find it when I'm next in Skipton. Where is it, market place area?

Wright Wine Co is to the left of the castle as you face it and walk down towards the canal, it’s on your right.
