Scotch recommendations

[Klenchblaize]

Sans peat & smoke you may as well send/present a bottle of Jack Daniels, Wild Turkey or Seagram's!

Quite enjoy an Old Pulteney, but some tremendous recommends on this thread

Not a great whisky drinker/lover myself.
On the recommendation of a friend I spoke to the owner of the Mackays Hotel in Wick when I was up last year.
The gent said any of those on the middle shelf.
As it was they were all Old Pulteneys, so I had a 15yr old one (or maybe two I think)
Really nice and didn’t give me heart burn.
So now it’s my favourite.

Or any Speyside/Glenlivet classic, where ‘the craitur’ disna need such props.
Cragganmore, Mortlach, Glenallachie, Glenfarclas, all capable of producing the goods for the discerning palate.

Just finished bottling my latest consignment this forenoon; those wha’ve tried it already ‘ken the score’




Not for the tourist or casual ‘drouth’!

Arran distillery is rather nice, and offers not peated/smoky

Yep another one for Arran, 10 year is a good. Dalmore 12 also another good one. Nice whiskys that aren’t fire water!

Anything from Balblair has my vote.

Very strong for me their stuff. Visited this summer. Great experience but I’m not a big whisky drinker so I suppose it depends on how seasons they are

 

[shbangsteve]

Glenfarclas again
or Lagavulin

 

[Kalahari]

George Smith's Glen Livet.

 

[GlennUK]

Aberfeldy is worth a shout too imho

 

[HonestJohn]

After a few, they’re all amazing

 

[oldhamstocks]

Don't tell anyone but been known to enjoy a few blends of the cratur over the years, usually with the company of proper malt men in the ken, and ones they have recommended, and I've enjoyed, are as commonplace and as excellent as Black Bottle, Isle of Skye, and J&B...

[Mr B]

Redbreast.

That’s not a Scotch Whisky!

 

[Dave_45]

Don’t know why but calling it scotch irks me.


For my money

A spendy ish dram , glen scotia Victoriana £75

The new 12 year old also from glen scotia at £42 ish, in a blue box , the name escapes me.


Or a hazelburn from springbank.

I was given a bottle recently for despatching six cockerels for a lady, i looked at the box it was in and thought this will be interesting. It was called CO OP’s finest malt, I kid you not the most palatable scotch I have had for years. Not Smokey or peaty at all but delicious, well worth a try . Says £36 on line but only £30 in our shop.

 

[slider]

Had a bottle some years back, best I’ve ever had, also the most expensive by a long way. £500 back then, trading near £3k now I believe. Should have kept it as an investment!!!

My 2nd favourite is Caol Ila

I have no doubt it was very nice, im a lover of Islay whiskys myself.
My comment relates the OPs request for recommendations with no smoke or peat

 

[sh1kar]

If you decide English. This is phenomenally good
