daughter no1 bought me a bottle of 10year Glenmorangie   ,Seeing off my 12 year Old Pulteney at the moment , Used to live in Campbeltown so Springbank is a particular favorite .
I prefer the lighter hue,s but be a cold day in hell when I refuse any single malt :evil

Dunno if anyone's mentioned Aberlour in this thread, but bought a cask strength bottle to take round to friends last night - God but that's beautiful stuff. Best dram I ever tried.

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.

[/size]Aye, that's the stuff. Batch 49 I believe, at 60.1% straight from the cask. Wax sealed, with a wood top to the cork, made even opening it a nice experience - and then it was so smoooooooth, and wonderfully warming.

[/size]Hope you find some, its well worth it. Cost me £41 for the bottle, in a shop not famed for being the cheapest around
