I had some of this stuff recently: http://www.arranwhisky.com/Arran-Single-Malts/Arran-Malt-10-Year-Old-46-70cl-/ It's smoother than James Bond's snooker table.
Penderyn Sherrywood Single Malt Whisky is good stuff don't know how Welsh whiskey is going to sit with you lot?
Whiskey was made in Wales as far back as the middle ages so there is a history, the Penderyn stuff is good and better than the commercial crap I've tried Scottish and Irish. I haven't tried any of the top end stuff so can't put it up there but it is seriously worth a try if you like your whiskey.
