Looking for a bit of advice. I've been a bourbon drinker for years but I'm trying to expand my taste in scotch. I've only tried a few so far.
Jura Origin - I thought was ok
Glenmorangie 10 yo - I liked it apart from the quite aniseedy aftertaste.
Old Pulteney 12 yo - This has been my favourite so far.
Monkey's Shoulder - perfectly drinkable but didn't leave much of an impression.
Anybody got any recommendations? I've been keeping to younger ones as they seem to be a bit sweeter.
Without spending a lot of money, I'd recommend Ledaig 10 year old and BenRiach Curiositas, both very, very nice whiskies. Jura Origin - I thought was ok

Still one of my favourites:
My absolute favourite. I have one in my stash that I've been reluctant to open in case I can't replace it (that's some weird logic...), but a quick google shows it's readily available on Amazon for £47.50. Doh. 
It was this...

There was a 17yo one that was exclusive to someone else (can't recall) that was even better!

Piece of cake to get hold of no doubt!It was this...

My current cupboard contents, although nothing very expensive here. The Benriach Tawny Port is an odd one for me - I really liked it when I tasted it in the shop, but at home it seems to lack smoothness for me - the second dram is always better!
The Chivas was a present from the inlaws - not tried it yet, I might be be pleasantly surprised when I open it, who knows.
Singleton of Glen Ord was bought when we visited in June - a really good distillery tour there.
Seems like the BBC got a whisky expert to write this article... or maybe not,

Does nyone know where to pick up the Bushmills 16 year old for the normal £50? Finished my last bottle I picked up from duty free.

I have just ordered some Chichibu On The Way 2015 and a bottle of Ichiro's Malt MWR Mizunara Wood Reserve. Looking forward to trying some Japanese whisky again over Christmas.

Having had the original "On the Way" at the first PH tasting, I'm quite tempted.
That said, Spice Tree Extravaganza is calling me...

Where about did you order them from, or is it a secret?
