Highland Park 15 year old would get my vote.

I'm quite partial to all 4 you posted, but the second and fourth ones I particularly like with the fourth probably a tad ahead of the field.

Whiskies are very much a parsonal taste choice though so you could very easily totally disagree.

Previously, I've had the Balvenie Doublewood a couple of times (got a bottle open right now), Highland Park 12, and Bunnahabain 12... to me these are all fairly similar in style and quality. The doublewood is probably my favourite so the single-cask Balvenie does sound pretty tempting, however the sheer age of the Bunnahabain is also a draw. And HP is certainly not bad at 12, so simply an older year of the same might be wonderful... I wish I had £200 spare to buy a few and keep them all open so I could properly compare them.

Once, when I was in Paris, the hotel I was staying in had been nobbled by the Whisky Society. You could buy 1cl shots, which was great for comparing the different 50 whiskies available.

Maybe you should contact them?

If you can't decide then perhaps it is a sign of difficulty with thinking clearly, which is one of the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal.

If that is the cause then perhaps you shouldn't be looking at getting any more whisky down your throat for a while.

Can't follow your logic there. Surely the only remedy for alcohol withdrawal is to drink.

I have heard good things about Balvenie from my scottish colleagues. I'm still in the £25-£30 range and currently enjoying Glenkinchie and Dalwhinnie.

I don't like it too peaty...

Try Glenfarclas - you wont find in supermarkets but in more specialised whisky shops . Sometimes Makro stock a small quantity .

I think you must be the CUK contributer I would have least in common with. If I liked whisky and there was one for five quid a bottle I would certainly buy it but only if I could not get one for four quid. Who cares what something tastes like as long as it is cheap?
