Got a bottle of Talisker for Christmas but haven't opened it yet. Currently enjoying a bottle of The Glenrothes. Very good. Nice peaty taste at the back end.

I think I tried this and it was awful!Got a bottle of Ileach for Christmas, a no age statement single malt from an unnamed Islay distillery.
Nose is pretty much what you'd expect from an Islay, palate is quite nice, good smoke, peat, saltiness and a little sweetness. It has a nice oily mouth-feel. Not that complex though. You can tell there's some young spirit in there too, which makes it a little rough. Finish is disappointing though, short, bitter and extremely dry. Probably wouldn't recommend it as you could pick up a bottle of Laphroaig 10yo at the same price when it's on offer.
Had that first in '95. Nice.I've just been to Royal Lochnagar as the last of the distilleries that Diageo let you visit and as such recieved a little silver (in colour) Quaich. It's taken me about 5 years to get round them all but it's been a great journey taking me to some places in Scotland I otherwise would not have bothered.
Whilst up here I got myself a little bottle of Beinn Dubh which is very dark in colour and finished in port casks. Not had a chance to try it yet but will report back.
