This is obviously the one

Love it, my all time favourite whisky especially the 10 year old. I couldn’t see this on the website, where did you spot it? I could drop hints then as it’s nearly Christmas

There is no "best" whisky, just as there is no best book or best golf club to buy for a Christmas gift .
You would need to ask the recipient which whisky best suits their palate.

PS If it's for me, Highland Park would be fine, thanks.

It was just on one of the linked pages. I'll find it when I'm back in front of the PC.

Bugrit! Out of a choice of 2 I linked to the wrong one..... This should be the one: https://www.tiso.com/alpn-endu-1109...n54FSpodYfM9Iq92xikgH0vLk2qohZVgaAhdbEALw_wcB

Bicycles without Bell's is against the law.

Does said cyclist have a good hip flask. Wunnerful thing is a good hip flask.

 

[spen666]

puzzled as to why you think there is a "best" whisky for a cyclist.

I would not thank you for buying me any whisky - can't stand the stuff and wouldn't drink it.

Buy what your mate likes not because someone tells you its best for a cyclist as there is no correlation between being a cyclist and what type of drink they may like

Let’s be pedantic. Glengoyne which distillery I knew well never produced whiskey. It produces whisky. Whiskey is Irish.

Good point well made I have edited my post. Still love Glengoyne 10 year old though

Spotted the Glenmorangie woody in Lahndhan Piccadilly Road a couple o weeks ago....it’s quite nice, apart from the Shimano, of course

Storm ? Skye ?


See it’s not that simple is it.

Same with Highland Park . Sooooo many variations .

You missed a few.

And yes, it is a simple drink, complicated by affectation.

And that's where whisky descends into total wankery, which is a shame.

If your friend likes whisky, they will have preferences, so there's no point buying one randomly.
If your friend doesn't like whisky, there's no point buying one at all.

Mine's a Hibiki, please.

Storm ? Skye ?
.

The 10 year has a much greater flavour than the Storm or Skye and is usually cheaper. The whisky companies have pulled a blinder by selling NAS whisky and charging a greater price for it.
Take Johnnie Walker Double black, a younger whisky than their 12 yr old black label but they charge almost twice the price.
Back to Talisker, my favourites are either
57’ North or their 18 year old
