so, in. Still have 1/3 to 1/2 of my Ardbeg 10 (I like it a lot) and less of my Tamdhu 10 (not great, but smooth and cheap). Need to branch out in 2013.

But I must admit that Laphoig 18 is quickly becoming my new "measuring standard" over even the most excellent Lagivulln 16

My vote goes for The Glenlivet. I may be poor but I'll always dig this swill!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Edinburgh & Dundee, Scotland | | | The missus got me a bottle of Benromach traditional for Christmas, a really nice NAS malt. Quite smokey for a Speysider.
As Benromach only restarted production about 12 or 13 years ago, everything they have is fairly fresh (they also have peaty varieties and the first fully certified organic malt, where everything, even the casks, have been specifically sourced). Oldest current production is only 10 yo.
They have sold some older malts, but they seem to have had a bit of a mixed response and were simply older stock from the last owners. Certainly a distillery to keep an eye on IMO.

I'm not complaining.  |

Makes me feel like I'm not able to enjoy the extent of what Scottland malts have to offer. The only one I can manage to find the flavor depths is the Ardbeg 10 and older.
Oh well, I guess their aren't for everyone!

Jealous of the HP18!
Hopefully start earning reasonable money this year and be able to indulge a bit more!
