Whisky Forum - Help me choose from these easy going malts

cdn_dram

Getting together with a good friend this evening and looking to find an easy going malt that isn't too strong on the wallet or in abv. Looking at the below options, what would be your picks?

I've already had the JW and HP, so hoping there might be another on the list can hold its own against those two considering they're all fairly similar in price. Cheers.

Aultmore 12
JW Green label
HP 12
Aberfeldy 12
Aberfeldy 16
Deveron 12
Tomatin 12
Benromach 10

I was seriously impressed with the Aultmore 12 recently. So much so I picked it over a Craigellachie 23 at duty free. Pretty complex layers of flavour which gets better with the bottle opened for a while.

I like the aberfeldy 12 and 16 too. More honeyed than the aultmore and not as many notes in there but pretty inoffensive.

Benromach 10 isn't what I'd call "easy going", but it's certainly wallet pleasing and at that price will blow your mind.
