Thanks for the recommendation, Talisker 10 is probably my favourite so far but Bunna 12 not far behind. I’ve just ordered the Ledaig 10 on Amazon for £33.25, coming Friday How about something at the cheap end around the £20 price point?

Sorry mate, it’s not a price point I buy at so can’t really help there. I prefer cask strength or minimum 46% ABV so there isn’t really anything in that bracket for me.

Ledaig is a fine dram if you like peated. For around your 35ish I’d recommend Arran 10 given your other likes.

That does look a good site. I’m on a self imposed buying ban until I get my unopened bottles below 50 but will definitely give them a look in the future.

they are very good...the delivery of 6 bottles today came to 4.80 euros and took 5 days

No probs, thanks for your recommendations though. I was just after a cheap decent whisky that isn’t going to cost a fortune as a regular sipper

managed to get Tomatin Legacy for £20 at Fine Drams ( now sold out) seen it in UK for around £23-25

easy sipper and unusual at that price point at 43% abv

There are a few on here have recommended some of the own label bottles from Aldi & Lidl.

Not great but ok bang for buck

Amazon will often have Tamnavulin for around £20/£22, or Old Pulteney 12 for around £24/£25 - I've found both to be fairly good value.

Amazon have the Ardmore Legacy for £20. I’ve never drank it but have enjoyed the indie bottles of Ardmore I’ve had.

Tamnavulin core bottles are pretty poor imo....OP far better for a few quid more

The few Indy bottlings of Ardmore I’ve got (Whisky Broker and Rattray) are very good and belting value

The Ardmore ex Laphroaig cask from Whisky Broker was excellent value.

Stay in your lane where you are right now. You don't want to go cheaper, and it starts to get steeply more expensive to go 'better'.

I’m just getting into my whisky and favourites so far are Bunna 12, Talisker 10 and Highland Park 12. Any recommendations up to around £35ish? I’m fancying a bottle of Benromach and Ledaig but looking for a cheaper whisky around the £20 mark too

Ledaig Rioja Sinclair Series is circa £35 in Amazon

Any good?

Any good?

It's decent for the price point

 

[Crook]

It's worth trying. I'd only be happy buying it again at sub £30. I'd always go for the 10 again at the £35 price.

Sometimes wary of red wine finishes..particularly at this price point.
This one OK then ? Still kept the Ledaig character ?

Would agree, having tried both I would always take the 10 over the Rioja finish.
