Please post your thoughts as there a couple of bottles of interest to me.
It’s a strong lineup to be honest, the only dram that didn’t appeal was the Loch Lomond grain. I ordered the Mannochmore and Springbank - the latter is better than the recent SB 12 CS imo.
Which were you interested in and I can perhaps describe them in more detail?

The Mannochmore, Teaninich and Benrinnes all appeal to me.
All are very decent. The Teaninich is not really for me but I struggle with the sweetness of rum led whiskies.
The Benrinnes was like a sponge pudding, Mannochmore was quite dairy and orchards. The Teaninich was like a fruit paviova.
In the room the Miltonsuff and Mannochmore were the favourites.

Thanks.
I’ve got an AD Rattray Tobermory rum finish on the go and I’m really enjoying the background lime in the dram.

Just about to have a little tot of this...
May have already been said but for everyday drinking the Glenallachie 12 is cracking drop and very reasonably priced. Also the Tullibardine 225 is on offer in Sainsbury's at the moment and well worth a try if you like a sweet, fruity finish, a highly drinkable new whisky. Also as previously mentioned the Ardbeg 10 is a no brainer.
And I know... Fuck Off Mag!

Is that a Bowmore in the SMWS bottle?
The Tormore was amazing value at £99. Sold out in next to no time.

Had a decent Highland Park and Caol Ila in the past.
Just got the Aberlour and Authroisk for sherry options.
The Glencadam sat in basket so better be quick as they’re going

It is, good knowledge! I only have a quarter of the bottle left. It's a real beauty... Not for the feint hearted.

Is the ere any soapy note? Bowmore was renowned for it in the 80s likely due to Jim McEwan running the stills too fast. Albeit, I think ‘81 may have been before his time as Master Distiller.

I have just had a nip as it has been a while but Tbh I don't taste it. I remember reading somewhere a few years ago about coal tar and I sort of get why but to me it is unique. Maybe some of the more familiar notes are Iodine, but less intense and medicinal as say a Laphroaig. there is some warm spice, maybe cinnamon and/or pepper. Also, it is not at all peaty or smokey but it does have a very pleasant intense lingering heat, which leaves something resembling burnt wood. All in all I forgot how good it is.
