hunchy Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) OK folks I am finally going to start getting into whisky. I finally found a whisky I enjoyed but would like to try others of the same style. I love strathisla and tried the isle of jura origin which was nice. Tried the next jura up the scale but found it too peaty? For me. So whisky connoisseurs what should I be looking to try next Edited for typo pity I can't fix the title Edited March 28, 2015 by hunchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flora MaDonald Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I (used to !) love Laphraoig. Full of peat, and an acquired taste, but a lovely drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flumax Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Strathisla from speyside so maybe some of the same region. Aberlour, balvenie, singleton, Tomintoul, http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/jhb/whisky/maps/spey.gif Maybe try get yourself to the spirit of speyside festival https://www.spiritofspeyside.com/and try some of them out and pick a favourite.

Flora MaDonald Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I mind speaking to some whisky high-heid geezer at an Islay gathering, and HC was his preferred tipple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedTA Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 If you like a fair degree of flavour but not too much peatiness the Oban is a nice little number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exglasgowasc Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Stick with the clearer speysides. Aberlour is my favourite although Highland Park from Orkney is one you can never go wrong with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in5omniac Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Glenlivet 12 is a decent one if you're looking to get into whisky. Glenlivet Nadurra and Aberlour A'Bunadh are full on flavour ones you might like too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
