Bought a bottle of Glen Grant 10yr. I was impressed. It drinks easy. Smooth going down with a mellow light peat finish.

They also have a Major's reserve that isn't too bad as well.
Since they went to Chivas Regal in 2006, their single malt has been used in the Chivas Regal blend. They make a whole lot more than they ever did before. I wonder if that is a good thing.....

Highland Park used to be one of my absolute favourites but the quality has gone right downhill in the last few years. And they've been peating it. I like peaty whisky but it wasn't what Highland Park was about. So if I can find older bottlings, fine, but I'll not touch the new stuff.
One very interesting thing to try is Longrow, an alternative run of peaty whisky done by Springbank. It has the salty taste of a regular Campbeltown whisky but also Islay-style peatiness, making it quite unique. The 10yo is a bit rough and plain, the 14yo is good and the 18yo is gorgeous.

Itsbruce, Springbank is one if my favorite distilleries. If you can find a late 60s or 70s vintage, it will blow your mind!

True that. Perhaps Bruce is a man of means.....
We hope he buys some and invites us over then.

Indeed, a very good thing. I had wanted to try it for the longest time, and it was on sale for $38. A steal compared to the pre-Chivas era.

As long as they keep the quality up then I have no problem with the same for less dough. The price is a little less here.

I've wanted to try it ever since I watched Band of Brothers too, but the brand doesn't seem to be available here.
You should be able to order it online, my go-to, Te Bheag Nan Eiliean, is made by the same distillery.kiwilrdg said:
A few years ago I got a bottle of Aberlour 10 for Christmas. I sipped my way through it and very much enjoyed it, but I'm not very good at rationing myself, so I tend to aim a little lower on the shelf. I was pretty sure I'd tried Dewar's once when I was younger and found it gross, and thus picked out the bottle with some reservations, but the new (or new to my area) White Label is nice.

Glenfarclas. The 21 is incredibly smooth.

Mm Scotch. I like the more peaty stuff more: talisker, lagavulin best. Little water in a snifter.
