Get yourself a bottle of jura 10 from asda for £27 . I don't mind monkey shoulder and its better than some of the others like haig club . I ain't a expert but I've been trying for 20 years. Jura 10 is superb for the age and price . It's better than many other expensive ones I've bought. Happy supping blueMonkey shoulder a Scottish malt whisky bloody lovely
Not a big whisky fan but a mate gave me a glass of Silkie in Donegal, it was lovely.
A bit about it below I’ve copied and pasted….
Sliabh Liag Distillers has shown its smoky side with this Irish blend, dubbed The Legendary Dark Silkie! Taking inspiration from 19th century Donegal whiskey, a triple distilled peated single malt is at the core of this expression, peated to about 22ppm and matured in sherry casks. It's then blended with a bourbon-matured single malt as well as a grain whiskey having been rested in virgin oak. The result? A fruity, subtly smoky and dry bottling which is sure to convert Irish whiskey lovers to a hint of peat!
And……About to try this.

Describe it while you can still type.
I like the thought of trying an Irish peaty or peat influenced deoch.Nice.. peat is subtle but makes a difference. Feels like you can smell it more than taste it. Not as sweet as I expected. Lovely bottle and box design, if that counts for anything. Pretty unique.
It is excellent and relatively cheap.The only good thing to come from Wales is Penderyn Whisky. Its really good. Try it if you can
Never had Welsh. They go without the E too I see.It is excellent and relatively cheap.
You’ve inspired me to have a nightcap.tell you what.. it grows on you
I think I have tastebuds in the roof of my mouth too.I’m looking forward to the day I’m old enough for my tastebuds to have degenerated enough to enjoy a good whisky.
It'll be decades before I’ll be able to enjoy brandy.
Will do! I get the smooth element of it, just don’t enjoy the heat as of yet.I think I have tastebuds in the roof of my mouth too.
Because it’s hitting up there too, not just my tongue.
You’ll get there. Keep practicing.
Try the Teelings I mentioned.Will do! I get the smooth element of it, just don’t enjoy the heat as of yet.
