Whoo, got an Aberfeldy 12, which is a very lovely whisky indeed and one of these:

Jura superstition here
Not cracked it yet. Im on auchentoshan 12 tonight
I had one of those too, and a bottle of 15yo Dalwhinnie.
jura origin from my son.
got a glenrothes single malt select from my bro, and a glenmorangie, and a jura superstition,should see me through the winter
Equal measures of each. Then mix with coke. Job's a good'n 😉
None, disappointed.
(did get some Drambuie though)
Bowmore 12 and 15
Laphroaig 10
Penderyn Madeira cask.
Its quite pleasant. Definitely got more length than the standard one I tried a few years back.
I was very lucky as my birthday was just a few weeks ago so got a few then as well as over Xmas:
Jura original , Glenrothes and a monkey shoulder. Enjoying the Glenrothes at the moment and looking forward to trying the monkey shoulder as it's one I've not had before.
Benromach 10
Been spoilt with a Glenmorangie 18 yr extremely rare. Beautiful....

Not as a gift, but I was sent to Tesco on Monday to make use of a £40 off if you spend over £80 voucher, so I put a bottle of Dalwhinnie in the trolley, purely to ensure it went over £80 you understand. Just enjoying it now.
arcing that's the nicest dram I've tasted to date, lucky man!
Got some Glenkinchie, Glenfiddich, Old Pulteney and some Jack Daniels too.
New glasses too
May have to christen them tonight.
Jura superstition and Talisker from in laws.
Bowmoore, Highland Park and a set of tasters from Master of Malt.
And a bottle of Drambuie, but that got drunk yesterday.
thegreatape I agree, I was fortunate to be get a bottle about 3 years ago and it made me realise what whisky drinking is about.
Great thread.
Balvenie double wood and the Macallan 18.
A couple of bourbons as well, knob Creek and a Woodford reserve.
Happy Christmas.
Powers Gold Label Special Reserve 12 Year Old Whiskey here.
Not tried it yet though...
got a knob creak last month, woodford reserve is very nice too
Bottle of my favourite Caol Ila from the wife, well chuffed.
got a bottle, of bowmore, was hoping for oban. got a bottle of bowmore already and nice as it is, im trying for a collection
Jura Superstition and Old Pulteney
and some very nice sherry!
None for me but my dad got 5 bottles! Including a 12yr old glenmorangie with 2 glasses from me.
Trying to build it up a bit this winter.
Got three or four last year, but didn't restock.
Currently got an Aberlour, a Glenlivet, a Jura Origin, the Aberfeldy and the Glenmorangie on the go.
Only been drinking the stuff for a few years, tried a dozen or so, still loads for me to go at.
Out of the ones I've tried so far, Highland Park or Abelour are my favouites.
Didn't like the Glen Moray, the Fettercairn Fasque or Auchentoshan.
I knew I wouldn't get any whisky so I got myself a Macallan 18 just before Christmas. Does that count?
Old pulteney 12
Its fantastic
yeah, 3 bottles of the stuff......3 bottles of Jura Origin ffs!!!
anyone up for a whisky exchange in manachester ???
No, nothing :-((
Off to Tesco to do it myself!!
A cask strength Springbank for me! It's absolutely gorgeous. 🙂
Jura is one whisky I just don't like.
My brother got me a Glen Kinchie. This is a whisky from south of Edinburgh so I am treating with great suspicion.
Some Superstition here, had a couple of large ones out it last night, lovely.
A set of Jura miniatures - origin/superstition/duirachs own which should give me at least two large shots per bottle, plus we treated ourselves to a full size bottle of Duirach's Own for Xmas 🙂
No Whisky but did have some cider brewed in whisky casks from [url= http://www.thistlycrosscider.co.uk/ ]Thistly Cross[/url] very tasty.
A very special (at least I think so) Kilchoman 2007, not long bottled. Bought for my daughter who was born in 2007, so hope it ages well as she won't be getting it till she is 18. My brother gave me a bottle as a present and his friends gave him a bottle for his birthday.
So if my usual tipple is a Laphroaig, and I like Peaty, Seaweedy whisky, any recommendations?
JD's Honey
12 YO Old Pulteney
Talisker 10 YO
Ardbeg Renaissance 😉
Drinking the last of my Talisker Distillers Edition....
Bottles of - 12yo Old Pulteney, Highland Park & Jura Origin. All opened and sampled during the sat couple of nights. 😀
I am in bit of a quandary.....a proper bout of acid reflux issues is making whisky drinking very painful. But post christmas I've got a few bottles. I feel like Homer Simpson and cakes- have a nip, lots of discomfort; forget about it and allow temptation get the better of me and repeat!
The concept of not drinking again for the foreseeable future is not improving my mood!
I also got ( hides from somafunk) some k teachers filled dark chocolates very morish - but i have to drive today 🙂

Caol ila (another classic Isla malt) - it's sweeter than Laophroig, more honey like, the iodine (the salty/smoky/seaweedy sensation) is softer but still very much present. You might also enjoy Talisker from the isle of Skye. Many people who like the idea of Laphroig but find it a bit much will drink the classic Jura. If you want to push the boat out on an Isla malt try Lagavulin distillers reserve or the Kilchoman 2007.
Famous Grouse 😐
Was given a 2nd bottle of Caol Ila by my old man yesterday. Very chuffed that I no longer have to walk downstairs in order to refill my glass. Just need one for the summer house and I'll no longer have to walk anywhere with an empty glass.
