Destino30 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 What's your favorite single malt in this price range for each region (e.g., Islay, Speyside, Highland, etc.). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicycorona Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I guess you would need an incredible amount of experience to reply to this thread. A lot of people stick to what they like, and those regions span a wide variety of tastes. But fun idea anyway... Take this with a grain of salt because I drink Islays on very limited occasions, and scotches seasonally. Islay: It's real nice. Just really got to be in the mood for an Islay IMO, https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/lagavulin/lagavulin-1995-bottled-2013-pedro-ximenez-cask-finish-distillers-edition/ Island: One of my all times. One of the greatest and most consistent whiskies. https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/highland-park-18-year-old-whisky/ Speyside: It rates and reviews well, but not at the top. But it's my favorite scotch, or near favorite. https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/glen-spey/glen-spey-21-year-old-2010-release-whisky/ Highland: Just posted this in the recent acquisitions thread, the Gordon and MacPhail 21 year Old Pulteney release. A new find and will keep in stock if I can.Not sure if it's m favorite highland all time, but it's at least close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend: Ardbeg.........Islay Talisker........Island Pulteny......Highland Ardbeg Uigeadail is one of my "go to" Islays. Like Laphroaig (where I choose the Triple Wood), I need something to temper the peat/smoke of the 10 year versions.It's been too long since I tried any of the Taliskers. Is there any particular version that you suggest? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surucipe Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 It's been too long since I tried any of the Taliskers. Is there any particular version that you suggest? Talisker 10 is a very enjoyable whisky and very good value on top. The 18 is fantastic but if it's worth the higher price tag is a matter of individual opinion. 57° North is great as well, good example of what a good NAS should be like. Because of negative reviews I haven't tried the Storm or Skye expressions so can't help you with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino30 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Guys - these are great suggestions. Much appreciated and keep them coming. I've not noticed anyone suggesting any that were matured in port or dinner wine casks. I've had some lately that were marvelous.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think the "styles" are in development stage. Maybe we will see them recognised in due course: rum, marsala, dry white, dry red, sweet white, port, dry sherry, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
