If you like the sherried drams I would recommend Glengoyne. The Glengoyne 21 is very good and if your budget can stretch the Glengoyne 25 is superb.

I recommend glendronach 21 or benriach 17, Tamdhu cask strength.

Hmm the Â£200 price is not what it was. 3 years ago it was a good limit....not so much now.

How about this. Serious. Sherry. Bomb.

If you like Edradour Fairy Flag you might try a Signatory Collection Edradour 10 year old. I am a big fan of Edradour and this is one of my favorites.

Some great pointers above but Iâ€™m sure you will love the Glengoyne 25.. a real big flavoursome dram with a wonderful nose.. Enjoy..
