It’s a difficult price bracket, particularly for those who like their whisky bottled around 46% or above.
Amazon have the Glenfarclas 10 YO on offer at £24.70. It’s not a bad dram for those bottled at 40%.

Edit: Just noticed it’s £9 delivery so not much of a bargain after all :rolleyes:
Talisker Skye £26 in Tesco or maybe give Aldi’s Glen Marnoch Islay a go if you want cheaper?

aye £10 quid more and you’re the in the field of non chill filtered and 43 or even 46%...does make a world of difference.

Ancnoc might be worth looking at (sometimes at the price range ) even though 40%


bought the Glenfarclas 105 today and at 42 Euros for a litre is a really good price ( best I think I’ve seen it) :eek:

There's a review on Amazon somewhere written by a bloke who lives practically next door to the Glenfarclas distillery however orders the 105 from abroad as it works out much cheaper to do so. Cheaper for a litre delivered from abroad than it would be to buy a 70cl from the distillery gift shop or so he reckoned....

Aye I was reading about that one myself the other day, yep, definitely one I'll be looking to sample. Have you had the Lagavulin 9 that they released for GoT? It's very nice IMO, smoky as you expect but really quite sweet too. They reckon their 8 is good n'all.

had their 8 in the past, do like it.
Despite not being keen on the bullshit and marketing of the GOT thing I‘m afraid I succumbed...it was the cheapest Laga I’ve ever seen.

101 and 46 are both excellent IMHO, I thoroughly enjoyed both anyway. Which four roses is it? I've only had their standard (yellow label) and small batch. The yellow label I enjoyed, the small batch not so much...

the Clynelish was available for £28 and bottled at 51%...but every review I read said not a patch on their lovely 14 year old and didn’t bother

There's supposed to be a couple of them half decent but I can't remember which ones off the top of my head
 
Me grandad found a bottle of Teachers highland cream in the back of the cupboard he reckon been there 20 years+ and it’s lovely like. Not one of the top of the ranges but ideal for a few before bed

what you recommend in the £35 range then?

there's that much choice, i really have no idea. just like it smooth

£35 really starts to open up loads more...by then you should be looking for 46% ish ABV and non chill filtered.
Killerran 12
Benromach 10
Bunnahabhain 12
Arran 10
Glenn Scotia Double cask


All on Amazon at £35 quid ish...from Campbeltown, Islay to Islands

Just off the top of my head, sure others can add suggestions

chill filtering - is that just an aesthetic thing? and do better, more expensive whiskys not go through this?
