Thanks, will see what's on offer.

Picked up:

• Dalmore Regalis
• Dalmore Luceo
• Kininvie 17

All three are Travel Exclusives. Plenty of other things to choose from, including Auchentoschan and Glenmorangie.

I didn't look at the ashtray selection....

Tasting notes are interesting.

Regalis has been finished in American white oak and Amoroso Sherry casks, and offers given nosing and tasting notes of mulled wine, exotic fruits, marzipan, toffee, walnuts, pecan cake and Manuka honey.

Luceo is finished in American white oak and Apostoles casks for notes of Cognac-soaked Madeira cake, tangy fruits, treacle tart, pistachios, Colombian coffee and Sanguinello blood oranges.

Aberfeldy 18 is a nice drop that I think is a duty free only bottle. Tend to see it out in the Far East as opposed to Europe though.

Yep, at was available too - but had that before (I like to try something different every time)

The Blavenie triple casks are still about as well.

Had been tempted to recommend a Laphroaig PX cask as well!!

For me, it's been day one of this year's euro trip, and one purchase already - a replacement for one I'd bought before, Stokerij De Molenberg's Fado Vivo..

not at all! Some goodies in there. What are your thoughts on the Ardbeg? By the way if you like it, it's a disease... you'll be spending some with them!

very smokey. its not my favourite, lets call it that

[Moonhawk]

Glenlivet Founders Reserve is pretty decent. Picked up a couple of bottles (one for me - one for the father in law) a month or so back - £20 in Tesco. Very nice dram.

Wife bought me a bottle of Glenmorangie Signet a couple of years back. Very dark and full flavoured - I'd definitely recommend it - but it's pricey (I've seen it priced anywhere between £120 and £180 a bottle).

This one sounds like an old Top Gear challenge..drive to Prague, and find a Gold Cock..

Not Hammerhead, but another Czech whisky!!

Old Pultney 12 yr old is on offer for £24 in Tesco at the moment.

-I usually prefer peaty Islays but would buy this again.

I love Old Putney. Beautiful rich salty caramel heaven

Missed it at Tesco tonight but they have Glenfiddich Rich Oak 14 yo for £19.something.

A bit of a bargain for those of you who like oaky/sherry speysiders

Very much the house style Dalmore. Typical NAS though - easy to drink. Sherried, but been finished in another cask I suspect. Hints of marzipan, mulled spices and citrus. Nice, but better value stuff out there IMO.

Just got a bottle of Tullibardine (225) Sauterness.
Currently on offer at Sainsbury's for £30 (reduced from £45)

Always good news to hear of a new Ardbeg!

[Birdster]

I've been treated to a bottle of Hibiki 12 year old. I know this seems to have been replaced with their NAS version.

Worth drinking, or saving for a special occasion?

It's like licking Dot Cotton's week old ashtray. Bleurgh.



PPX1, it ain't.
