[Scotch Whisky Blather] In praise of...

[Dave7]

I was recently given a bottle of 12 year old Loch Lomond. TBH I had never heard of it and with that name thought it would be a 'mickey take'.....WOW it is so nice. It has a slight peaty taste and generally I dont go for the peat ones but its only slight and I can really taste the other flavours.
For a decent cheap malt the Aldi ones at £17.95 are excellent.

Aldi's Glen Marnoch is passable - not as cheap as it used to be though

It was £9.99 when I first started drinking it

As was Penderyn - try getting that cheaply now

And it's still are wildly variable as ever, I've given up on it for now.

I've opened this one. I wouldn't normally get one as expensive as this (retails for about £90) but I cashed in some air miles so it was free
Tbh it was good. But the Aldi champagne cognac I had at Xmas (sadly now discontinued) was better and less than half the price

Yes, i bought a bottle on offer last year. Quite nice I think full price is £36?? and its not worth that.

I treated myself to this independent bottled Laphroaig at Christmas. I haven’t opened it yet. Bottled at cask strength at 63.4% it should be a belter.

Oh yes, the Quinta Ruben is a great Whisky. Not sure if you can even get it now.

Yes you can
