'Daily' Drinker

[ralfy legend]

As much as I enjoyed Aldi Irish 12 yr old and I did as I bought two bottles, the redbreast is a better dram.

I'm enjoying this thread greatly, it is nice to get a sense of the "daily" drams out there that I had not heard of or thought of.

For me I would say,

Deanston Kentucky cask (picked this up for £24!)
Old Pulteney 12 yr
Glencadam 10 yr
Laphraoig 10 yr
Talisker 12 yr

Looking forward to seeing more response!

For me, a daily sipper is something I can get on offer for £20-£28. Here are mine so far:

Singleton of Dufftown 12
Glennfiddich 12
Glengoyne 10
Highland Park 12
Laphroaig 10

Non age statement:

Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair
Glen Scotia Double Cask

Seems a good time to bump this thread given the cost of living crisis! I still need my whisky. Anybody got any suggestions for a budget friendly, non chill filtered, daily drinker?
Bunnahabain 12 is currently £32 on Amazon, if you “subscribe & save”. Pretty unbeatable value, surely? Also enjoying Ledaig Rioja cask at the minute. Similar price on Amazon.

Is Deanston to your taste, look out for offers on the Virgin Oak and 12 year old on Amazon

All the Redbreast offerings are fantastic in my humble opinion. Had many bottles and always have some in, as well as Scotch of course. The 12 & 15 are excellent but the 12 cask strength is the best of the lot but at £80+ it’s not cheap. The Lustau was the one that really surprised me as well as it’s one of the cheaper options but I really enjoyed it.

Have you ever tried anything from the Signatory Un Chillfilterd collection they often offer bottlings around the £40 mark, they are all limited releases though, still good value.

As far as original distillery bottlings that are non chill filtered and a decent price for everyday dramming Distells Scotch whisky brands are worth keeping an eye out for offers, these are Bunnahabhain, Tobermory/Ledaig and Deanston

How about Glenglassaugh Revival which I am drinking tonight, pretty good for its price and it is NCF It is £38 here https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/16932/glenglassaugh-revival

Deanston 12 is fantastic value for money.

Brought a bottle of Glenglassaugh Torfa back from & Edinburgh & it was wonderful.

I think it may be a case of buying & drinking the same quality, but just less of it.

So nearly bought a bottle of Kilkerran 12 yesterday, but it’s now £48. Great stuff, but I just can’t afford it at the minute.

Going to add Loch Lomond 12 at £40. Just picked up a bottle to take on holiday with me.

Been trying some James Eadie's. Blair Athol, Glen Lossie, Linkwood, Criagellachi. They are all quite good and all around £40.
