Anybody going to try and get some of the Ardbeg Kildalton? I guess it's not going to be easy to get your hands on some online.
Sorry to interrupt - can anybody recommend some whiskies to try ?
I stopped drinking whisky years ago as I didn't like the heavy peaty taste but I recently tried a Macallan in a pub and it was very nice - not sure which one it was but it was almost fruity and spicy with just a hint of peat - I'd like to try this again but the pub is 140 miles away so will have to wait a week or two.
In the meantime I did a bit of research and bought as samples a bottle of Jura Origin 10 year old which is very nice, probably not one of the greats I'd imagine but very drinkable. I've also bought a bottle of Glengoyne 12 year old which isn't dried with peat or use peat water and again it's very nice but there is something missing, a depth of flavour. Both are very nice and I've no complaints, but I want more.
What I think I'd like is something slightly deeper, fruitier and richer than the Jura but without additional peatiness, and with the lightness and delicacy of the Glengoyne 12. Does this exist ?
There are so many options on Masters of Malt than I could easily buy 20 bottles and still not find quite what I like . . . but that would be a nice piece of research ! I don't drink much now but do want something exquisite, spicy and intricate to enjoy !

Master of Malt do tasting sets, so might be worth trying one of those.
Balvenie and Avberlour won't have the peat you want, but perhaps try a Glenglassaugh.

I would recommend Glendronach - it's not a peaty one, but a lot of taste that keeps giving for a long time after you're finished too, which perhaps sounds what you're after? One of my favorites. I've only had the 12 year old, but have a 15 year old to start. A friend said the 18 year old is very good, but the 21 year old is a bit overrated (in his view).
Good shout - excellent value for money at the moment. http://maltandoak.com/glendronach-15-is-it-the-bes...

I had this arrive today. Just have to decide to store or drink now!
Volks - where can I get a bottle of that? My Grandad was in the Royal Marine Commandos during WWII - just a shame I can't share it with him any more.
Sorry for the slow reply, if there are any bottles left from the cask run they can be found here.

You may be in luck after the inital run, hopefully so. I recogise your name, I used to be tuscan_al and had the Starmist Tuscan Mk1.

Has anyone tried Ardbeg Uigeadail ?
I popped out for lunch yesterday and the lovely lady behind the counter gave me a wee Ardbeg dram (not sure which one) was lovely. Might need to go back today...
Bought a bottle at Stansted earlier in the year and had a glass or two each evening in Corfu. Absolutely fantastic with a splash of water.

Bought the Corryvreckan when I got home but prefer the Uigeadail, which reminds me I need to get another bottle of it.

Constantine has one of the best Whisky shops I've ever seen - he runs drinkfinder.co.uk if you want to have a browse. He's also a decent price as well.
T'is a wierd shop (I think its the Post Office (not the Spar) - looks like any ordinary village store until you get to the back where you suddenly feel you've walked into Aladdins cave)
Thanks for the heads up on that one. Wouldn't have found it otherwise. And street view confirms it is a post office as well. Great combination.T'is a wierd shop (I think its the Post Office (not the Spar) - looks like any ordinary village store until you get to the back where you suddenly feel you've walked into Aladdins cave)
It will be easier going door to door today without diversions, but you never know when we get rolling in an hour.
Cracking place for anyone interested in booze to visit.
