Nice one. I have 3 bottles of 20 year old in the cellar (read shed) that are at least 10 years old so I'm not far behind the 40 year old.

Not getting this then ?

Yeah I have some other bottles held back as well.

Admittedly the ones I am buying are for Christmas / New Year.

Anyone living in Cambridgeshire, needs to go to Stives and pop to Wadsworths, really big Wine, Spirits merchant, quality stuff, really worth a trip

This was my local

Islay malts are too peaty for me.
Speysides are much smoother imo

I really like that peaty flavour.

Currently having some Caol Ila just now

I got a bit 'used' to speysides having lived there for 10 years and family from there.

Obviously I like them, just prefer Islay ones

I will try the Speysides, thanks for the heads up.

Currently on Laphroaig Quarter Cask, which is one of the strongest Islay Whiskys at 48%. This is one of my favourites.

Also heavily recommend, Bruichladdich and Ardbeg Uigeadai, both really good for winter nights in.

With some decent music / book and darkened warm room.

Missed out on the 16 yr old but got the mother at 37 yr old. Be quick only one left

My pleasure

I'd recommend;
12yr old Doublewood Balvenie
12yr old Glenlivet

Both a very smooth, first class whisky.

I must have tried all of the Islay whiskys at some point over the years. Similarly the Speyside ones. One of the benefits of covering the whole of Scotland with work. I posted a photo or two the other day in the 'autumn' photos thread which was taken just a few miles from the Tomintoul, Tomnavoulin and Glenlivet distilleries.

We used to do the Whisky trail about 5 times a year for visiting squadrons or teams.

Both 50% or greater. They would finish me off for sure. I had a couple of Ardbeg whiskys at our office xmas dinner last year. I managed to get home, just!!

We have a really good shop near us in Nottingham that I'm a regular at, latest purchase was this... http://theyamazaki.jp/en/product/ the 18y/o

I'd heard a lot about how Japanese whiskey was winning every award going and had to find out for myself, it's a great drop, very individual taste but well worth it.

I have a flat near the whisky experience in Ayr (Scotland) and even in there they are hailing Yamazaki.
