    Did a little distillery tour last year whilst on a Scotland road trip to Skye.

    Glenn Goyne it was called.

    Still using its old style machinery.

    And got a bottle to sample. Very nice it was too.

    Whisky basically only needs 3 ingredients.

    Water
    Barley
    Yeast

    Prefer Cognac and dark rum to be honest - however, family & friends clearly think I like whiskey cos I get it for presents (better than socks)!

    Balvenie Doublewood

    Glenmorangie (the light coloured one 10 or -2 years old?)

    Glen Moray (cos bought a bottle when my 1st grandchildren (twins) were born so special)

    Balvenie Carribean Cask

    Old Glenfiddich

    Got to agree about the Old Pulteney, but besides the higher priced stuff must confess a (very) big soft stuff for Jamesons

    Does 5 whiskies take away the taste?

    I drink loads of Whisky and Bourbon and consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur and could list so many more than five but here is my list from the under £40 /£50 range that I really enjoy:

    Single Malt Whisky:

    Dalmore 12 year old.
    Glenlivet Founders Reserve
    Talisker Storm
    The Balvenie Double Wood 17 years
    Tobermory 12 Year Old

    Bourbon

    Buffalo Trace
    Makers Mark 46
    Elijah Craig Small Batch
    Woodford Reserve
    Wild Turkey Rare Breed

    I dont drink many blended Whiskies but a special mention to one in particluar which was superb but was sadly discontinued by Glenmorangie a couple of years ago.
