Whisky Forum - Your top 3 single malts tasted in the last 6 months

Quaich1

Pondering my latest experiences with single malts either from my own stash or at tastings or pubs, I thought it would be interesting to take a gander at Forum members' most enjoyable drams tasted in the last 6 months. Could be newer bottlings, older ones, no restrictions, old favorites, etc.

Some of my own favorites over this time frame are:

Bowmore 23 Port Cask
Talisker 25
Glendronach 21 Parliament

How about you?

Great question

Mine would have to be as follows

21 yr Old Pulteney
Port Charlotte Scottish Barley
JW Black Label Shocked

Really enjoyed it as an easy drinking, no nonsense dram

It is difficult to name just 3, but here are 3 I have enjoyed

Redbreast 12 Cask Strength
Glenfarclas 17
Glengoyne 25 which is brilliant but is back in the cupboard now as it is a little expensive for an everyday dram, at least for me, saving the rest until the Christmas holidays.
