Just looked up the Strathisla ges, never tried it. Interesting though that I've just read that my favourite blended whisky Chivas Regal has the Strathisla at the heart of it :lol:

Indeed it is 64....just awful. Christmas before last my sister in law bought me a litre bottle of grants...I drank it but I've made it quite clear that any other bottle of whisky will do quite nicely in future :lol:

Give it a try sometime very nice , had a couple up in Scotland earlier in the year. So i thought I'd treat myself when I saw the offer.
Is the Cardhu your favourite.?

I will give it a try, I'll get Mr Swan to order a bottle from Amazon for me tomorrow. I love the Cardhu, but I love the Laphroagh 10 year old as well, (not the select as it's a weaker product) also Lagavulin, the Islay malts. I have a bottle of Singleton 12 year old on the go at the mo. Mr Swan is a Highland Park man :lol:

When i fancy one with some heavy peatiness to it, it has to be the Lagavulin 16 year old. Tried some Oban 14 yr old recently too , very nice. A big favourite is the Tomintoul 16yr old Portwood finish, gone expensive though.

Can't stand Whisky. I'm a proper beer drinker who hasn't for 12 years. I do own a bottle of Grey Goose I've had two drinks out of in 15 years

George and J.G. Smith's "The Glenlivet" is my favourite (out of the hundreds available) but I also like the blended "Famous Grouse" - it's almost as harsh as "Johnny Walker Red Label" but not quite, and the difference makes it very palatable.

I'm a fan of the 17-year-old Bowmore myself. A friend of mine brought me back a bottle from his UK vacation about 30 years ago and I've been hooked ever since.
