No. Not a fan of the really peaty whiskeys.
I am easily pleased tho. Big fan of anything Abaloure.
I only bought the Balvenie because some whiskey tasting dude at Brisbane duty free had me try a few expensive ones while I was waiting for a flight home. He swindled me out of a fair bit of cash
I am not a knowledgeable fella when it comes to whiskey and such. I will just buy what tastes good.

That guy got me too! He's good though, knows his stuff and I got on the plane with a nice buzz after all the samples he gave me.
Of course a few hundred bucks went the other way across the counter. Talisker Dark Storm is the ticket!

Soooo much choice

If you get a chance and haven't already I recommend Springbank (almost finished a bottle of 10yo one of my favourite drams) and glenfarclas 15.

If you like aberlour I think you'll like glenfarclas.

if anyone does like peaty whiskeys then try McClouds, better than talisker and 1/2 the price

Id be keen on some thanks.

Weve got about 100 of them of the plant this year thanks to the hot summer which will take a while to work through. Anyone want a few?

years back i let a couple of bhut joloka chilis sit in a small bottle of vodka for a month. kept the bottle in the freezer so it was icy cold.
big tough workmate didnt know what the hell hit him though i think he had the toilet paper in the freezer a few days

Did they make the Vodka hot or just make the chilli vodka flavored?

Blue cheese is great snacking on crackers.
Large chillie stuffed olives brined in a jar are another fav of mine...not very hot at all just enough to spice em up a bit.

Beats getting suckered by fancy labels and price tags eh.. There's so much bollocks out there. If you find something you like, and don't fancy getting gouged (duty free may be duty free, but they certainly pump the difference a bit), this place is THE cheapest place to buy spirits in NZ. Mate runs a string of wholesalers, and says their retail price is often BELOW his cost from the normal importer. https://www.whiskyandmore.co.nz/

You're not wrong on prices. What I like to drink is $89 at Brisbane duty free and $69 on that site.

Awesome thanks for the link Tommy

They charge $5 delivery or something for up to a certain number of bottles (think it's a dozen), so when I do use them I get one or two for myself but also lay in stock for presents/bribery/forgiveness. They do a lot of whisky, but also some pretty mean rum and gin etc.
