Itâ€™s very easy drinking red fruits honey vanilla a bit thin but worth the money

I bought a bottle this afternoon (keeping it for now), but haven't seen it available anywhere else - is this edition of Jura exclusive only to Sainsbury's?

I see the Jura Red Wine Cask Finish is reduced again but only to Â£34 for 1 litre this time rather than Â£30.
Found the first video review of it by a Swedish lady who confirms it is a Sainsbury's exclusive.

Other discounts include Old Pulteney 12 Â£24 and Tullibardine Sovereign Â£25.

Is Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair for Â£25 one of the best value malts on the high street 46% un-chill filtered?

i Did enjoy it the last time I tried it, the 46 % is a massive plus for it, how good Iâ€™m not quite sure but at Â£25 are we really gunna moan,

Sainsbury's current offers on Scotch single malts:

Laphroaig Select @ Â£23
Glenmorangie 10 Original 35cl @ Â£15
Jura 10 @ Â£25
Tullibardine Sauternes Finish @ Â£30
Tamnavulin Double Cask @ Â£22
Glen Moray Sherry Cask @ Â£20
The Glenlivet Captain's Reserve @ Â£32

I only started my Scotch single malts journey recently with a background liking for peat: the likes of Laphroaig and Talisker. I'm now trying to expand my tastes into smokeless whiskies. From this list I'm tempted to try the Tullibardine Sauternes - does anybody have a view on this dram?

I found the Tullibardine Sauternes Finish citrusy, orange mainly, also honeyed, an ok malt, I wouldn't say it was worth its Â£40 price but often on offer in Amazon and supermarkets for around Â£30 which isn't too bad. I personally would go for any of the others on your list first.

Brummie, are you saying laphroaig select, and tamnavulin are better than the tullibardine? If you are I think Iâ€™d be giving it a swerve hehe.

As a side-note, most folk I know who began their whisky journey, started with non-peated and progressed to peat, rather than the other way around.

OK so I'm unconventional Wink
