[CHAPPERS]

You peskey lot.

Can't go wrong with Laphroaig.

Yes... if you want to clean your drains.... it's a peat fest. .. much too specialised.

Auchentoshen.... a lowland whisky.. very smooth,.. a great standard. £26 ish

Ha! Blimey, I'm still eating my toast!!
Hang on 'til mid-day.

Quite right, far too early

Can't go far wrong with Macallan.
By the way,whiskey with an E is the Irish stuff, not Scottish.

It's also an E with the American stuff.

If it's Whisky, you can't go wrong with either of the Glen's, can't help with Whiskey as I tend to stick with the Scotch rather than the Irish.

Co-op also have Haig Club at £35 atm. Usually 45.

I never even noticed the potential pedantry point of the e - if that is what you want Bushmills 10 year old is close to the only option as the other Irish Whiskeys are nearly all pot still or blends!

Jack Daniels

 

[Albion in the north]

I would go for the Balvenie 12 year old Doublewood.

This comes in a nice presentation box and makes for a nice expensive looking present. It is also a very smooth malt that is very good starting point away from the main brands. It is also the whisky of choice of Roy Grace.

Jura ain't bad, Sainsbury do Superstition for £30 at the moment...

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Macallan mate. Should be able to get a bottle for circa £35.00. Its also a non peaty and from a "clear" water area.

 

[darkwolf666]

Or chuck another £20 in yourself and get this one Benriach 17 Year Old Peated Septendecim, smells like TCP but tastes great!

 

[osgood]

Reckon Glenmorangie is the safest bet , the ones from port and sherry casks even better
Talisker original, NOT the "storm" version , also top drawer

What do you mean 'either of the Glen's' There is a large number of Glen prefixed whisky producers ...malts and blends.

You need a lesson in Irish Whiskey, there are many Irish malts,... and the blends and single pot stills are almost as good.... after years of chasing malts from North of Carlisle,.. I now collect and consume the best that Ireland has to offer..... smoother drink all round. Favourites are Midleton Rare, Teeling Malt and Redbreast 12yo... but there are many more. ... and Bushmills is amongst my least fave to be honest.
