So I nipped out for a wee bottle to see in the bells with tomorrow night.
Got a bottle of Glenrothes select reserve. It's a non vintage whisky blending several of their vintages to make an incredibly smooth easy drunk whisky.
It's not gonna set your world alight but it's a brilliant fall back to have and a good regular for the drinks cabinet.
Very light on the peaty taste for a scotch, which as an Irishman I prefer. I do like a bit of peat, but over Christmas I finished a laphroaig 10yo, so I've had my share of peat for a while!
And I got it for £30, so hard to beat for value.
Nice! I was in Scotland last year for a while. Absolutely loved it.
