I like Filey whisky.
Slightly unusual taste at first, almost aniseedy but only a slight hint somewhere in the background. Not smoky, a bit of fruit in the flavour
It was a gift but I’ll buy it again for sure.

Like others I don’t think marks out of ten work for whisky. You either like it or you don’t and that even depends on lots of other factors. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a really smoky one like Lagavulin but sometimes fancy something sweeter.

I prefer a 'sweeter' malt,for example,Macallan,Balvenie,Glenmorangie,Jura,Oban etc but now and again I'll go for an Islay Malt,something like Bowmore or Bunnahabhain...With the exception being Laphroaig(that's a step too far for me,it's definitely an acquired taste).

If you're ever up in Scotland and anywhere near Pitlochry,you really need to go up to the Edradour distillery,it's the smallest in Scotland in a truly beautiful setting and their Malts are sensational!! They used to do a free tour with a complimentary dram at the end but I think they got fed up with me visiting and decided to charge for the pleasure.

Beautiful golf course and driving range just down from it too...

Visited the distillery in Oban, and like theirs.
Not big on Glenmorangie (well…I’d drink it obviously!)
Only like Jura Superstition (not seen that for a while actually) the others flavour don’t appeal.
I do like Laphroaig. I’ve got a personalised bottle unopened, and a PX cask bottle of it too. Have to be in the mood though.

They are all so different though. Great drink

Any teetotalers wanting to experience the flavour of Laphroaig can buy a pack of these and suck them for a while. <ok>

You'd have to set fire to them first for an accurate taste sensation...

I never liked that much
There’s no good or bad Scotch though. Just ones you like and ones you like less.

I visited the Gouden Carolus distillery on the outskirts of Antwerp a few years ago,that's a seriously good single malt,and their blonde and brune beers ain't half had either!!

I think it was you that put me onto Penderyn (Welsh) a few years back?,that's delicious too.
