 Posted: Wed Feb 17, 2021 7:37 pm Post subject: Looking for a well balanced and aged scotch |
 |
|
Good evening there!
I don't wanna buy samples or bottles that I would be disappointed with, but I am looking for something well aged and smooth (15-18 yr) scotch, even 21-25 yr old if the price is reasonable.
I'm moslty into well balanced bourbon and sherry, not much into smoke unless it's very faint. 0-20 ppm.
Any clues?

Glendronach is good value but more on the sherried side. Deanston is a favourite on the more bourbon influenced end (at least the 12, less experience with the older Deanstons). Bunnahabhain is a great pick too (Bunnahabhain 28 by Wemyss Malts at GBP 150 at the moment!)
On the (slightly) peated side - I'm a big fan of Highland Park - one of the most balanced whiskies, in my opinion. Or Springbank 15? |

Tried Bunna 12 and 18, wasn't impressed.. though the 18 is better.
Looking into SB 15 at the moment, ralfy gives it 91 points. Horst really likes it, 88 ~ avg on whiskybase.
Looks like a winner.

Never tried that one but I gotta admire your signature 
Not 100% though, needed more sherry.
