Dalwhinnie is also 25 at Tesco, going to pick some up on the way home tonight.

Has anyone here tried Auchentoshan Classic? That is reduced from 27 to 20 at Tesco - any good?

You sure it's not coke?

Just seen OCADO have a 25% discount for new online customers off an 80 spend. Might help a few - free delivery as well.

I've never seen anything so dark, even drams from a 50yo sherry butt.

It's incredible stuff, nothing like you would expect tbh. It's not that sweet, very very spicy, almost like liquorice. I assume it's PX rather than Oloroso, it's hot that slightly rubbery smell to it. Very intense, it's an experience but oddly unsatisfying.

22 for that is very cheap!

I have sampled it before, really really smokey!

Popped over to France for the day this week and popped into Cite Europe (the shopping centre beside the EuroTunnel).

Was pleasantly surprised when I went into this shop.




Apart from the bar (which is open in the evenings) and the samplers they had a very extensive collection of whisky at not too bad prices.



Part of the Scottish selection



And a bit of the Japanese and Irish section with another bit of the Scottish section.




Well worth a visit. Oh and they sell wine also.

Just popped down to Waitrose to get something for dinner and they have quite a few decent savings on whisky.

I picked up a Penderyn Madiera for 31 which is 10 less than it was in their distillery a couple of months back when I bought the peated one.

Meh. It's not a patch on anything actually smokey. Someone should take whoever blends this st to Islay for a weekend.

Yep, spent a while in there when I last went through. Came out with some Nikka From The Barrel, a Bowmore of some description and Black Grouse. Didn't get more as we were returning to the UK directly to fly up to Islay for a week!

Thats interesting, which stop is it at?

[crmcatee]

Which stop ?

It's on the French side. Thought with all the runs to / from Le Mans over the next couple of weeks it would be a good stop off point.

It's up and opposite from Foot Locker.

Thanks for that. I've only ever been straight through to Paris , so why I've not seen it.

Cheers

What did you think?

[George7]

My trip to Scotland was rather unadventurous in regards to whisky in the end. I did buy a bottle of Glenmorangie and Ardbeg 10 though (the Ardbeg is really, really smoky, I love it) and tried a few out and about. We also visited the Talisker distillery on Skye (I bought a bottle of the standard Talisker 10). The tour was good and very interesting, although there weren't many places nearby to eat/drink which a little disappointing. We ended up going to a pub, which was nice, but very crowded with seemingly primarily people waiting to go on the distillery tour. They're missing a trick here by not having their own cafe I think.

As a side note, Scotland's a beautiful place. The roads/scenery were absolutely fantastic, especially coming from Skye back to Fort Augustus. My shed MG did well and suited the roads fantastically (curvy but fast roads). I'll definitely be going back again at some point, and will hopefully visit Islay next time.

I also got myself a Talisker glass.
