Nice selection…quite partial to the two single malts on the right

Mighty fine selection… but no speyside?
I’ve got similar two on the right, and some nice islays. The quarter cask laphriog may be my favorite.
Like my beer, I tend to go dark. Peaty and Smokey. Had a black market stout tonight with sup… forgot I had some left… very yum… and strong…
Don’t mind the odd highlands dram

Seems some Whiskey / Whisky connoisseurs are here too. 
I really know nothing about Whisky.
But I can tell nice story .
In 2018 I found a bottle of Whisky at the flea market.
I liked the label (old with patina) and the bottle was not opened of course.
Doing some research I found special forums with Whisky collectors.
They told me all about that bottle : ca 1960, price, collectible etc.
Unfortunately it was a “normal” Whisky.
(Not from those special distilleries you got your stuff from)
But I could sell it for a good price .
Never expected that.
Meanwhile I know there are bottles more than 1000 Euros/USD around.
Not only such “old” ones my bottle was.
This will never happen to beer, but wine could be.
The problem with wine is, it gets often spoiled,
(especially white wine)
and it depends were it is/ was stored.
(Not so perfect - > behind grandpa’s oven )
Well heres whisky lesson 1 for you Franz.
Whiskey - with a “e” is Irish.
Whisky - without the “e” is Scottish.

“e” : irish!
Technically correct @ndalby
Although some would argue only two countries produce good whisky.
But i will not start that discussion here

Meanwhile they produce “Whisky” here in Bavaria too.
But I dont know if this isof any quality, so I am not in of those discussions.
Only my beloved Beer! Prost!
In the past only Germany was supposed to produce a good beer.
I remember the stuff from USA - > Budweiser, Corse, Colt45 …
But meanwhile they are perfect with those little breweries we all know here.
Fair point, should you ever be in the market to try, Japanese is very (very) good especially Suntory. The Harmony or Yamazaki brands are essentially the entry levels now but the standard 12 or 17 year brands used to be considered the same…use to get them often when they were essentially ‘new introductions’ to the market…now they can someday push north of £400

Just looked them up online, interesting brand @ndalby
Bit rich for my taste, might see of the father-in-law is tempted to go half.
The most i paid for Whisky is £65 from The English Whisky Company, which is down the road from us.

Suntory actually owns a few of the more notable names… alot are going away from aged ranges, as their stock is waning.
