I've polished off about a third of the bottle tonight, it's been thoroughly enjoyable. I've also managed to get my mitts on a miniature bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label so will give that a go tomorrow.

I drank the Johnnie Walker lat night - the first sip was overwhelmingly TCP-like, I suppose that's the Talker in it but by the end I was disappointed to have finished it. Would definitely consider buying a bottle.

Tried the Haig Club miniature. Was bit meh. Bearable with a touch of lemonade in it.

Tried Monkey Shoulder. Could drink all day without lemonade Laughing

I'm currently enjoying a second bottle of JW Black - I should have bought something else after the first one but it was on sale and I knew I liked it.

I had bought tickets for a whisky event, like a beer festival for whisky but the mate I was supposed to be going with has dropped out and no other mates like whisky. I was looking forward to going and trying out some drinks from different regions and seeing what I liked. Oh well.

Black label is good value. I also enjoy it. Very smooth with just a hint of smoke.

i like the bottle design of the JW range.
even the JW red looks nice even if it is firewater.

the green label is a favourite of mine, I prefer it to the blue which whilst good is over priced/hyped imo.

they also do a "swing" which I'm quite fond of, comes in an unsual seafaring style bottle that can rock back and forth, like I tend to after a few Laughing

black is a good entry level all rounder, not a fan of the red

After polishing off a couple of bottles of JW Black I thought I'd better broaden my horizons. I cracked open my bottle of Glengoyne 17 and while I enjoyed it, there was something about it that I couldn't put my finger one that made me shelve it and I'll come back to it another time.

I went to hell on earth (Tesco) to get a bottle of Aberlour 12 as they had it on offer. Got there to find the shelves practically empty of decent bottles, just the likes of Bells etc left. Not wanting to leave empty handed I left with this

Very, very easy to drink - but dare I say it, a bit boring but still very enjoyable.

My son bought me a bottle of Glenlivet Founder's Reserve.

I'm not really sure why as I've always been a Rum aficionado. Laughing

Is it a good whisky? I know he drinks some boggy peaty stuff from the Western islands that tasted like soil dissolved in alcohol. Sick

Picked up this little lot

Trying to get a feel for the different regions.

The Old Pulteney came out top, followed by the Benriach and the Auchentoshan.

The Ardbeg went down the sink. I was really disappointed as was looking forward to tasting something smoky but it just tasted of burnt rubber. Maybe I should have gone for something less smoky?

Can't believe you binned the Ardbeg; best of the lot right there.

Sounds like you've discovered you don't like heavily smokey and peaty whisky. I'd suggest trying something like an aberlour 12 instead

The highland park is a much more subtle peat and smoke finish, combined with the honey sweetness, makes it a more palatable option for some. Great choice
