So my preference is generally for an islay or island whisky that's rich and complex and unusual.
In a Speyside or highland, I often like the rich, sherried malts that are like cake in a glass -- glenfarclas 105 was great. In a lighter, fruitier dram, I'd look for complexity and don't much like malts that are too linear and 'boring'.
Would anyone care to recommend me a good highland/Speyside whisky, irrespective of price? I'm trying to look out for something new but don't know what to go for.
I've had my eye on a glenlivet 18 year old but I hear that it's not really worth its £50 price tag...?
This one is my favorite. The latest vintage they offer now is from 2001 but a lot of stores still have older versions. I just bought one from 1998. It is the best I have found. It is priced around $60 us dollars give or takeQuote:

Tried the 1995? That one sounds nice. How's the 98? I can get a bottle of that too.Quote:

You are lucky to be able to find those older ones. They are all good. I just buy what is avalaible and have not been disappointed yetQuote:
