What is the best whisky

Bang for buck and an everyday drink at affordable price, my fave is the basic 12yr old Old Pulteney. Very clean (some may say bland) but I don't care much for the real peaty types. I try to hide the bottles at the back of the cupboard. Out of sight, out of mind. Doesn't always work.
 
Any that I don't have to drink, taste or smell :???:

Are you not yet 40 years old?
Seems the taste develops later in life to most people , it did with me. My latest order arrived this morning yum yum, was without any age check but as I am 67 no matter (an LA airport waiter asked for my ID to prove my age when I was 64 years old at an up market burger restaurant, he said it was the LA county law, seemed twittish to me.
 
My Father was the head distiller and blender for the long gone Roseburn Bonding Co. of Glasgow from the estate of Jimmie Grigor when it was taken over he then he became an independent advisor in Scotland and died a happy man with his best pal by his side,

I have to say when I used to drink I liked the following.

Ardmore Highland Peated Malt. still made to this day but as the old saying goes...its not as nice as Dad used to make :) and it had a different name back then too.

Woah - something from Wick, now there's a blast from my past.

As for the OP's question (and just to provide a friendly dig at the whiskey connoisseurs) surely the question must be which is the best ginger ale? Battle Bowler on!
 
I like Bruichladdich, their unpeated range is very pleasant, I also like the Cambletown's. Springbank and Glen Scotia. Anything that is 46% ABV or higher is good, below that they fall into the "cooking whiskey" camp.
Blends should be avoided at all costs, leave them to the uneducated and adders of coca-cola.

Some of the marriages are ok, Hive or Monkey Shoulder, but anything that is more than 80% spirit (like most 'blends') is only good for putting in Marmalade.
 
Caol Ila or the 10 year old Ardbeg were my favourites in my drinking days. Highland Park is hard to beat for those who don't want too much smoke.

I dislike most of the blendeds - but - when Crawford's 5 star is offered I rarely refuse . Change that - I never refuse.
 
Whats the best Whiskey? Thats easy, its the one thats in my glass with a dash of water and no ice.

Normally, I try never to respond to things like this, even when it really rubs me up the wrong way, but I have to say, you are talking complete and utter pretentious *****.
 
Can't stand the stuff. It should be caught up by the new proposals on corrosive substances. Now; brandy's where it's at!
 
I went to a world whiskey tasting last week, tried a whiskey from taiwan that had won best singel malt in the world really smooth and drinkable most suprising was amrut from india at nearly 60% it tasred strong but still really smooth.
