Tobermory is quite nice, I’m not a big fan of whiskey but I make an exception for Tobermory, I first tasted it when visiting Mull, we went around the distillery and after tasting it I bought a bottle.
Did it have anything in it. lol

Penderyn madeira cask finish single malt is a very smooth whiskey, the bottles do not last long at my house
Mrs G is a big fan of Penderyn. She is the Whisky lover in our house; dont like the stuff myself. We visit Scotland a lot and have been to countless distilleries, and all those mentioned in this thread. Think there are 8 or 9 on Islay alone and some more planned.

Tequila Rose.....tastes like strawberry milk shake or maybe like Calpol crucifies me everytime.
Younger members of the family go for a can of Dragon Soup when they want something with an edge...a 7 per cent ish energy drink type thing, reliably informed its effective.

I've moved along with my alcoholism, sorry whisky journey, since starting this thread and have discovered smokey peaty whisky, Ardbeg in particular. Tobermory do a very good peated whisky which I wouldn't mind trying. Ledaig (pronounced Letch-ick). The wife is visiting Tobermory as part of a cruise she's going on later in the year, I'm trying to persuade her to visit the distillery shop. I'm not a very good alcoholic as it seems I only drink whisky. I keep wanting to try Tequila but I've found that the world of Tequila is nearly as complex as the world of whisky. I know there is a poster who absolutely adores vodka, so maybe I should experiment a bit more. Looking for recommendations and I shall re-visit this thread occasionally to up date on my slide towards alcoholic oblivion.

A lady of refined taste, clearly! The Penderyn tour only takes about 15 mins which was a shock, several times I've just rocked up and they've done it though without a booking which is nice (it's not much of a diversion from my Lincoln-Llanelli route)

Try Bowmore whisky mate.
Its on the list mate but not at the top. I'm aiming to make my next Islay purchase Ardbeg Uigeadail, Then theres Port Charlotte, Octomore, I'd really like a bottle of Lagavulin preferably the 16 and I suppose I'd better try some Laphroaig although thats below Bowmore. Theres also Kilchoman, Caol Ila and Ardnahoe. So I've got a bottle of Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair, two bottles of Bruichladdich Classic Laddie and then I discovered peat so I've got a bottle of Ardbeg 5 Wee Beastie and a bottle of Ardbeg 10. I think I'll hit Speyside once I've finished on Islay but I'll definitely try some Bowmore sooner rather than later. If you want an altogether lighter, peat and smoke free, whisky I'd give Auchentoshan a try you can usually pick up the American Oak on offer at Tesco and very nice it is too.

i drink disarano
Each to their own mate. I don't drink it because it tastes like marzipan, which I hate. Missus Barmy likes it though and I'm pretty sure the Barmyettes love it too, although one of them likes anything alcoholic.

I was never a fan of whisky as a youth; only discovering the joys of it in my late 30s. So I skipped most of the gateway brands and squelched straight into the boggy stuff in the form of Ardbeg 10 and Laphroaig 10. I’ve now moved on to Uigeadail, which is now my whisky of choice and nursed me through the post-Wrexham playoff match from the back of a campervan in Iceland. Not sure where to go from Uigeadail or whether that will be my pinnacle. I’ve been to a couple of Japanese distilleries, which were pretty good.
