Just perusing the whisky section for another bottle

never heard of this one before, anyone tried it?

Is it good?

A bit of a ladies malt. Very gentle speyside.

it's a little bit sweet and very little if no peat to it. I believe it's one of the constituent whiskies used to mix Johnnie Walker Blue (although they are worlds apart). Probably best used to introduce new users to whiskey

I've now broken myself from drinking cardhu after nailing almost an entire bottle one night after a session in the pub.

it's excellent. I may wander off to try other things but it good to come back to. Great little distillery as well, work a visit. Tamdhu is next door and also worth a try. Classic light Speyside, quiet good before a meal.

ladies malt

Not according to my OH, she dismissed it as pointless.

Yup, I quite like it, but I do prefer a bit more 'oomf' in my malt. Very easy to drink though, which can be dangerous 😆

I'm finding my tastes for a tipple are changing to the more subtle side of malt. Don't get me wrong I love a good peaty / smoky malt but as I 'experiment' I'm beginning to really enjoy some of the more subtle flavors that the some so called bland malts have. IMHO if I'm just having a couple then a good Talisker / Lagavulin / Bowmore hits the spot...if it's going to be more than a couple then a peaty & smoky one can be a bit over powering. I've just had a bottle of Bruichladdich Rocks which is unpeated...VERY yummy. I'm getting thirsty... 😉

very very dangerous in my case. I ended up in that state where i had tunnel vision and can remember a lot of what happened that night, i just couldn't speak or move.
My friends amused themselves by asking me questions all night to absolutely no response apart from my eyes moving to look at them 😯
