Not sure whether I should put this here or in the YYFY thread but...been given a bottle by my Grandad that I've been bothering him to open for over 5 yearsThe scotch malt whiskey society edition, 1990 13 yr cask strength from the vaults, leith. What a gift!
Is there anything which tastes like a Scottish chimney on offer at the moment Moose?

Heads up - Lagavulin Distillers Edition in Tescos is half-price - £32 from £65! Rare to see any Lagavulin in supermarkets, let alone in a deal.

Old Pulteney is a decent highlander: brine, slight smoke / peat; well balanced. It's very highly regarded but not a personal favourite. I suspect my taste buds are too unsophisticated for subtle all-rounders. I always gravitate to peat monsters and sherry bombs. Currently enjoying the Indian Amrut Fusion and some bourbons - Evan Williams, Knob Creek and Rittenhouse Rye have been the best so far.
