....if only to experience its lightly sweet omnipresent smoke which is (to me anyway) reminiscent of Highland Park. #scotch #scotchwhisky #whiskey #whisky #bennevis #benneviswhisky #perfectmeasure #scotland #smokeywhisky

I have been into whiskey for nearly 4 years now and I only just became aware of Ben Nevis probably 3 months ago. Maybe it’s just me but it never crossed my path, but I’m glad I’ve now found it. If your reading this and haven’t yet tried Ben Nevis, I recommend you give it a go....

@Baltic_Biz @Ardbeg @VintageMaltWhis @MasterOfMalt @WhiskyExchange Well I’d probably choose the Ardbeg due to a bit of brand snobbery on my part 😂 but I can’t deny how much of a bargain the Finlaggan was in comparison.

[The Whisk(e)y Technologist @TheWhiskeyTech1]

Well..both Islay whiskies, both 46%, both non chill filtered, both NAS and Both finished in Red Wine Casks and that isn’t where the similarities end. I was actually astonished at how similar these releases were. Both had that fruity core draped in a veil of campfire smoke and....

@jenkaloid @Ardbeg @VintageMaltWhis @MasterOfMalt @WhiskyExchange I’m no expert on the subject, but if I blind tasted these whiskies I seriously doubt I could pick them apart. I noticed slight (and I mean slight) variances but not to the point that I personally could differentiate. I think there will be another purchase of Finlaggan soon 👍

[The Whisk(e)y Technologist @TheWhiskeyTech1]

So if you missed the Blaaack fear not, acquire the Finlaggan on MoM for less than £40.....bargain 😮 #ardbeg #ardbegblaaack #finlaggan #islay #scotch #whiskey #whisky #scotland @Ardbeg @VintageMaltWhis @MasterOfMalt @WhiskyExchange

[The Whisk(e)y Technologist @TheWhiskeyTech1]

they both combine the sweet and savoury notes well. I’m not saying the Ardbeg blaaack isn’t a good whisky, I’m saying the Finlaggan Islay Red Wine Finish is a very good expression that rivals the blaaack.....

Can we have the family casks instead!Would cost + 4 sure,could raise + money & would be so much + special as there are so many virtual tastings online now + I've had them all?Just a thought,no disrespect to the line up nor to @GlenfarclasDist @glenfarclas whose drams I❤ to bits

@GeoffGilmore1 @IrishDistillers Yeah RB 12 casts a large shadow because of its quality and cost and the CS is their secret weapon 😂

[The Whisk(e)y Technologist @TheWhiskeyTech1]

The 10, 12 and 15 are all must haves in my book. 👌 #glengoyne #scotch #túath #dram

[The Whisk(e)y Technologist @TheWhiskeyTech1]

Tonight’s dram, I’m ashamed to admit it, but it took me an embarrassingly long time to discover the delight that is Glengoyne. But all is well as it now is a mainstay in my collection and I just can’t get passed how well priced the 10 and 12 are for the quality they provide. 👌
