My money is on the Kilchomen...... I did the distillery visit this year and they have a wonderful approach to making whisky with a large percentage of the barley being grown in the surrounding fields. I HAD! a distillery bottled 2008 which was supposed to site on our bookshelf to be admired but needless to say once it was opened it was sooooooo nice it didn't last. |

You all are going to make a Scotch drinker out of me.  As it is, I'm a bit limited as to what is available, without breaking the budget. The only Laphroiag readily available is the 10 year, but it suffices. Otherwise, E&J VSOP Brandy is a more economical choice and perhaps better for colds. |

Invested in a bottle of laphroaig yesterday. An early Christmas present for myself and worth it. The difference between a single malt which you appreciate and savour the flavour and taste and a blended whisky which so often is only good as a mixer (IMO).
That is not to ignore whisky with an ‘e’. Irish whiskey is pretty good stuff and I do have a bit of a passion for Paddy whiskey. Unfortunately, Paddy is often hard to get find outside the Republic.
