A little payday treat. £38 with Tesco Clubcard. Down from £50. Had £25 of Clubcard vouchers too, so only cost £13. Lovely jubbly.

It's all relative, Doc. A bottle of bog standard Macallan will set you back £75 easy these days. Likewise a Lagavulin 16.Cheap as chips.....

SWMBO told me to order a whisky for Father’s Day from her so I have ordered the Bruichladdich “Classic Laddie” to continue my exploration of unpeated Islay Malts. At £34 on Amazon it seemed a reasonable deal.

After a year of 'partaking', I can confidently say that any malt you think you can afford will turn out to be a wee foretaste of heaven.
Taste and preferences will arrive in their own sweet time.
You might not believe it, but I'm a fan

Forgot I had this. Barrel Proof (58.4%) as the Shermans call cask strength.

Not a wealthy man but normally like to buy good whisky on offer in Tesco or Morrisons 25 or 30 notesish.
Went to get the weans sweets at the local shop and yes his name is Navid had perfectly quaffable Glen Moray for £15 notes

On holiday in Yorkshire and took a bottle of Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair. Honestly, the best entry level supermarket whisky you can buy. Non chill filtered and natural colour. Great value, even at full price. A total steal when it's a Clubcard offer.

It’s in my top 5 too. Really enjoying the Bruichladdich as well though - any more unpeated Islay gems?

Those are the only two unpeated distilleries, unfortunately. All the others are on a sliding scale from a bit peaty like Caol Ila to being peat carpet bombed by Laphroaig. Funnily enough, Bruichladdich do an ultra-peated release called Octomore, which is essentially vindaloo for peat lovers.

Last day of my holidays today and I decided to get a chocolate tart and a whisky for my pudding.
Now, they put an ice cube in there that I didn't ask for, but that aside the Spanish don't half give you a measure when you ask for "a whisky".
That's a Glenfiddich 15 btw. Cost €5. I'd say back home that be a quadruple and I dread to think what it'd set you back.
