puro Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Not a fan of anything too peaty /smoky prefer a sweet scotch with a little spice , what's your fellas suggestions ? A Few that's been mentioned by mates. Hibiki Oban Belvennie Mccallan Glenmorangie Unsure of the ages on these though What do you suggest ?
Baldy Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Which country are you from? That will go a long way in suggesting something that is available to you. I really like Arberlor 16 and Glenvilet Nadurra Oloroso cask. Like cigars personal taste varies. 1
puro Posted December 14, 2015 Author Posted December 14, 2015 Sorry yep that would help Sydney Australia ... Realize it's pretty subjective ,personal taste etc , was going to see if something gets repeated a few times cheers fellas

JohnS Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Sorry yep that would help Sydney Australia ... Realize it's pretty subjective ,personal taste etc , was going to see if something gets repeated a few times cheers fellas In Sydney, at Australian prices, and with my personal preferences, I would look at one of the following: 1) Hibiki 12 - $115 if you can find it on the shelves 2) ***** from the Barrel - $68 for a 500 ml bottle but definitely worth it. 3) Laguvalin 16 - Get it from Dan Murphys when on special around $80, otherwise it's around $105. 4) Ardbeg 10 - Get it on special at Dan Murphys at $70, otherwise it's around $85. 1
shlomo Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 If you dont like peat/smoke, stay away from Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Talisker, etc... Aberlour A'bunadh or Glendronach 15 year old Revival are no brainers imo. Everything else are distant runner ups. 2
Onelove Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Non peaty, sweet and spicy, I would take bruichladdich Classic 01.
Gunson Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 I'm kind of partial to Auchentoshan 12 Year Old Single Malt. 1

Yes, number 3 and 4 are clearly for "Not a fan of anything too peaty /smoky" 1

ElAbogado Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 US I can get Glenlivet 18 for under $100. Pretty tough to beat for my tastes. Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk 1
TM-US Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Glendronach 15 Glenfarclas 17 Aberlour Abunadh Balvenie 15 yr. single Barrel sherry cask Glenlivet Nadurra Glengoyne 18 The first two would be my preference for a nicely sherried scotch. All are quite nice, though. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk 2
sastrooper Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 John, sounds very much like the Double Bay dan's.
