Talisker 10yo

[treberty]

It's my new official go-to single malt! What's yours?

Bowmore 12yr takes that place for me, and has for 20 years now.

Just think if I saved one of my first bottles, I'd have a 20 year old 12yr...

My go-to is Laphroaig 10. Used to be Lagavulin 16 but damn it's expensive.

Aberlour A'bunadh, Mortlach Rare Old, Lagavulin 16, Laphroaig QC, Glendronach 15 Revival.

Those are my regulars over the past year or 2.

Depends on my mood and what I'm smoking or ate/eating.

I'm with Shlomo's recommendations, however I'd add Benromach 10, and Glenfarclas 105

i'm right on board with either of these. though price means that they are more special occasion than everyday go-to.

I like the Glenfarclas too, but have not tried the new nas version (or 20 yr old). Any difference from the 10?

Your not the first to list the Benromach 10 as a favorite. Never tried it. Thoughts? Similar to anything?

The Glenfarclas IMO remains excellent, and still of very high quality; especially considering the price point, being approachable - it's not just young whisky being sold as mature stuff.... the taste profile implies some mature whisky makes up the recipe, and the young stuff is not rough at all.

One of our local importers privately imported a few 1 litre bottles, and was selling them quite cheap - I stocked up big time!

The Benromach is a unique dram. Nothing else like it. A beautiful mix of quality casks, and an ever so subtly peated Speyside malt. Quite complex. I love the cask strength version, but the standard 10 yo is also quality stuff.

I'm with you on the Talisker 10 yo. There's a lot of single malts I like, but I love the touch of saltiness in Talisker: as they say on the label 'Made by the Sea' (on the Isle of Sky). It's also one of the best value single malts, here in Australia

If I had to choose one, it's still the Lagavulin 16. Other staples include Talisker 10, Ardbeg 10, Laphroaig 10, Old Pulteney 10 and Balvenie 12.

Some good choices I must say! Never had Mortlach... Lagavulin is also a nice treat!

Yep, Lagavulin 16 is another favourite for me also.

I would love if someone would explain this phenomenon. It used to be slightly more expensive. It is now more expensive than many older bottles by other distilleries. Increased demand? Decreased supply? What is going on with Lagavulin 16?

[ThatAlfonso]

In regard to Talisker, haven't tried the 10 yet but had Talisker Storm for the first time last night. Usually a Laphroaig, Ardbeg drinker. This was a very pleasant dram with more salt water, sea air than smoke or peat. Very smooth though a bit dry on the finish. Could see this as someone's go to very easily.

[ayepatz]

Dalmore 15 at the mo.

[JohnS]

Ardbeg 10 or Lagavulin 16.
