The lighter, more honied eastern ones though… You know how some people like the ones heavy in the Sherry maturation, then you get the ones that like the really peaty ones, then for others it’s unseated but in American bourbon cask for the true ‘distillery character’. I like them all I did not get the peaty ones at all when I first tried them mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a top mate so £150 would be max. Imo opinion the stuff that retails for about half of that is about as good as it gets. You get ones c. 15-18 years of age and it’s the perfect marriage of ageing without losing too much of the character. Try and find out a brand or 3 that he likes and let me know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26838 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 £150 spend on a mate? That's about 150 times what I spend on my mates and them on me but if you're looking for any more mates let me know. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surreymag 71 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Bottled lager from Prague my daughter’s recommendation it’s quite pleasant. Guinness is my usual drink when I am out and about. But today bottled lagers were on the menu. Stopped now as it gets a bit gassy after a while. Might have a port before bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastronaut 1236 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Quite like a Lagavulin now and again but peaty western isles peaty stuff is far from sessionable. I don't have much time for the single malt debate but only because Johnnie Walker Black is the answer to every whisky question as far as I'm concerned, and if it's not available then Chivas Regal is the next best alternative.

Alex 30414 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 So far I’ve had some barrel-fermented Chenin blanc, some bloody lovely Tuscan red from LIdl, some Aldi 12 yo Speyside malt (also used in a rusty nail) and a couple of tots of Doorly’s XO. And a nice coffee. It is Xmas, I’m kidding myself. Can’t believe I forgot the Pedro Ximenez with the Xmas pudding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30414 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) Johnny Walker Green Label, which they do a release of every now and again is usually amazing. It’s 15 yo plus it’s a blend of 100% single malts. Only from a small amount of distilleries (the blend varies from release to release). Sometime available on Amazon for bargain prices. Black Label is very decent too though. Same Chivas Regal 12. Both make a good old fashioned as well. Edit: JW Black Label is £20 on prime atm (as is chivas regal 12) Edited December 26, 2022 by Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
