18 year old single malt .

[Stubby]

What are peoples preferences and if possible explain what it is you like about them .  I am no  "cnosser 😁" but am quite partial to Aberlour  18 year old . Its from Speyside  so the water is peaty amongst lots of other flavors  . I can get it for £104 for a 50cl bottle ( Amazon and much cheaper than other places ) . I have heard Highland Park has good revues and is a similar price . It looks a paler whisky than the Aberlour .

@trigger_andy has just commented on this kind of thing on a different thread.

I believe Big J knows his stuff as well, can’t tag him for some reason.

 

Like @Johnsond, I nearly killed myself with whisky when I was a young pup, and can just about tolerate it 3 decades later.

I’d quite like to rediscover some nice single malts to enjoy as a sipping drink.

 

Rather than drinking nearly 2 bottles of Grouse at a house party and falling asleep in a bath.

Which was quite handy because I spewed and pissed myself.

Not fussy really, if Its 18 years old and full of alcohol, what's not to like?!

 

 

I'm going to hell...

I'm surprised he was only sick and wetting his pants, last time I was with him he shat himself...

The 18 year old Highland Park is most likely my favourite whiskey I’ve ever tried, certainly the best 18 year old. It’s like a richer younger Highland Park offering much like a Slightly Smokey Christmas Pudding in its complexity. For a tough over £100 it’s a damn good buy and hits way above its weight. 
 

Although a surprisingly good “cheap” whiskey not often found in the shelves and was actually discontinued for years is the 15 year old Jonnie Walker Green Label. Yes it’s a blend, but when you’re blending in 15 year old Caol Ila and Talisker from the Islands and a couple from Speyside it has something for everyone. Well worth a try at under £40, I much prefer it to the Blue Label. 
 

Im yet to try this 15 year old Highland Park. It’s now valued at £600, so might be a while before there is an excuse to break it out. 🤣
