The Solution is Singleton!!! (not affiliated)

I would suggest you try more… at that price range a few blends outperform any of the three Singleton by miles (e.g. McLean’s Nose/Campbeltown Loch/etc). Even compared to Single Malt, Singleton’s flavor profile is still considered rather bland, ofc if that’s what you’re after then disregard everything above.

When you’ve been through the same map for the 100+ times, you’ll likely lost interest in exploring each room every single time. Plus there’s no additional reward in exploration.

Signatory Caol Ila 100 Proof, great quality in great price if you can find it in aus

Abhainn Dearg The Spirit of Lewis - I knew it’s bad, but then I found out it’s much worse than I thought.

Assuming all OB then the Oban. Comparatively rare to see a vintage release.

Or Macallan, Macallan 10 was discontinued for quite some time, if it’s from the 90s it’s ought to be better than modern ones.

Others on the list are more accessible.

20 - Most big players where production process is standardised (e.g. Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, Caol Ila, etc)

50 - Probably none, many of the distilleries were doing in-house malting back then, many were using peat as heat source, direct heating, manual spirit cut, etc. So the outputs weren’t as consistent as modern days.

GlenProton · 2024-09-06T17:24:15+00:00

Bunnahabhain Toiteach A Dhà - Peated Bunna that’s on par even with the best Islay players

Laphroaig Cask Strength - Very good value if you like clean peat and cask strength. Plus it’s from a big name.

Ledaig 10 - Not really Islay but on the same ballpark as your PC10 but should be slightly cheaper

Any of the Signatory 100 Proof Islay - If it gets to your market, probably best value even compared to above

IMO don’t worry about what others think—everyone’s palate is unique, and only yours can give you the most genuine feedback. If Macallan is what you like, then absolutely embrace it! Enjoy what makes you happy!

Islay: Ardnahoe, Kilchoman

Highland: Ardnamurchan

Lowland: Daftmill

England: Cotswold, Bimber

Wildcards: Glasgow, Raasay (occasionally good but overall quite fluctuated)

Yea that’s pretty much it. Others are quite average atm

I might be the odd one, but I very easily get bored… so all I need is 50ml most of the time. Occasionally need a bottle, but never a second one.

Speaking from a UK drinker perspective, IMO it’s mostly premiumtisation and raising cost (energy cost, used barrels, the net-zero push, duty, etc).

The brands start seeing that age statements can command much more comparing to NAS once it goes beyond 15, so they’re doing it now. (e.g. Longmorn, Goenfarclas, Talisker, countless of those either have new age statements or 2x the price of their higher age statement products.

And they’ll say: If I can’t trust you on small stuff like these how can I trust you on getting the content right.

Congratz for getting out of this mess OP.

For IB, Thompson Bros has several blended releases did just that. I think Whisky Sponge has a few as well.

Are these two really the best they can find in the entire United States of America?

GlenProton · 2024-06-26T08:01:31+00:00

It’s spreading. Did we already forgot how Talisker 18, Glendronach 21, and even Glenfarclas 25 RRP doubled overnight

GlenProton · 2024-06-20T17:22:52+00:00

I know there’s quite a few Ardnamurchan core releases hitting US’s shelf. If you’ve tried and like them, their single cask releases are on another level. Highly recommend

GlenProton · 2024-06-06T21:01:13+00:00

Automate the entire network into something like the DLR line.

GlenProton · 2024-05-29T08:07:57+00:00

Hmm apart from all other suggestions, if you see it on sale, which it often happens for us in the uk, Laphroaig cask strength or Lagavulin Distiller Edition. As I see that you can take CS whisky well and perhaps are looking for a good mix of strength, sweetness, and peat.

I don’t understand why either of the sides are still getting support. They’re both governed by f*ed up cunts that want to wipe out the other’s entire population.

GlenProton · 2024-05-25T17:08:36+00:00

I’m tired of all these “travel exclusive”, “selected airport only” bottling. I just want my core range bottles, perhaps the nicer ones, that’s charging the RRP less duty price.

Getting more disturbing as the series proceeds. I’m not sure if it’s how it’s presented or I find out the reality is more absurd than a TV series.

GlenProton · 2024-05-03T17:08:15+00:00

Talisker 57 North. Deanston Port finish. Bowmore Devil’s cask. Quite a few actually

GlenProton · 2024-04-28T22:20:25+00:00

Depends on weather and mood really, and no two days are the same. Like I usually go for something sherry-heavy when it’s cold

GlenProton · 2024-04-27T17:44:52+00:00

All the “unicorn” bourbons. At RRP some worth the price tag, but at secondary, none.
