Tough day. Busted out the Ardbeg Uigeadail tonight.

At this stage for me...every drink needs to be compared to Bunnahabhain 12 until I get my hands on one please!

I feel like the poorer man for not trying whiskey.

Anyone point me in the right direction in regards to which i should go for and how it should be consumed?

Bunnahabhain 12 ordered online to be delivered to my home next week.
Very excited to do a taste comparison with my Oban Distillers Edition.
Next weekend

Anyone ever try Cardhu?

Found a bodega nearby that has Talisker 10 (one of my faves, especially for a 10), and saw Cardhu as well.

Prefer Islay malts, know it's a Speyside... but still more info might be good.

I haven't had the pleasure myself, but I am sure 1 or 2 at least will help you out soon

Just released here. Can't get the 12 from them but the 40 becomes available.

Land down under...makes me wonder sometimes about Australia....

Try and find a taster session somewhere, or go to a bar, order a slug of each of the varieties, Speyside, Islay etc and a wee jug of water, find yourself a cosy corner and work your way through the delights.

Whisky is a very individual taste. You will find a particular taste, be it smooth and mellow like a Dalwhinnie or peaty and smoky like a Lagavulin, or something in between, and the rest is fun discovering.

Enjoy your voyage.

Great advice.
I would only add to take some taxi money with you for the end of the night...

Very smooth. I was fortunate to receive it as a gift.
