Whisky Forum - Any ideas

tsrplatelayer · Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2014 12:49 pm Post subject: Any ideas

Its my 60th birthday and my father has given me Â£150 to spend on a "special' bottle of whisky.
I have had and liked Glen Grant, Glenfarclas, Clynellish, Aberlour, Old Poultney, Highland Park, Edradour, Balvenie, Auchentoshan

Cardhu, Tamdhu, Tomatin, Dalwhinnie - OK

I do not like western isles , heavy peat, heavy smoke.

Suggestions appreciated?

I've just got the thing for you. It's bang on Â£150 with free delivery and you can't get more personal special than this ?.

If you like Glenfarclas then i can recommend the Glenfarclas 30 year old which is Â£145 over at The Whisky Exchange

Others i would suggest which i rate highly that fall within your price range are the Glenlivet 21 year old, Old Pulteney 21, Glengoyne 21, Balvenie 21 Port wood, Glenmorangie Signet

The Glen Grant Five Decades is superb, as its name suggests it is a mix of whisky produced over the past 5 decades.

For a few pounds over your budget the Highland Park 25 year old is excellent.

Glenfarc 30 gets my vote.

The Glen Grant Five Decades and Glenfarclas 30 are both great whiskies.

I will say the Glenfarclas 30 also
