Have to admit I am not a fan of Laphroaig myself or Ardberg, maybe I did not give the ArdbergUigeadial a chance someone bought a bottle for me son and we tried in November but to me it was like drinking old leather.
Do you drink it neat ? or with what ?
Has anyone ever tried Suntory japanese whisky.
There was a thing on the news a few weeks back, the Japanese cleaned up at the annual scotch awards!

Aberlour?The usual ten year old is, well not very good to honest. Aberlour a'bunadh is gaining a lot of fans. They seem to be churning it out too as it's popping up in duty free and supermarkets. But it seems to appear in batches. I wanted a bottle for Christmas and I'd seen the stuff in the supermarket (thinking ah ken whit I'll get fae.....) but it vanished in the few weeks running up to Christmas.Anyway the idea is to get back to basics, making proper whisky, no chill filtering, straight ot the cask (sherry butt) and no waiting donkies years to drink it, this is full strength, unfiltered young whisky matured in quality sherry casks. It sounds foccing great. Nor should it cost a fortune either (will attract extra tax sadly)It will also vary from batch to batch, like proper malt whisky should. So yeah lucky you richfzs. Darn it. Enjoy.
