Your Whisky Of The Year 2011

[Tom W]

Glenfiddich Foundation Reserve was a good one!

tried some HP 30 too, not a bottle just a dram but probably wins the best malt ive had this year

I thought the Benromach 25 was outstanding oaky, spicy, peat and citrus fruit and a great price for a whisky of this age.

Above all this year the best whisky i had was the Highland Park 25, i new the HP30 was good and thought i would try its youger relative and i am very pleased that i did. Both HPs are excellent though the HP30 would be my choice if price didnt come into it.

On my limited budget i dont get to taste many of the very expensive drams but the Glenfiddich Foundation Reserve had to be my best whisky of the year thanks to hearing about it here. I doubt i will have another single cask Glenfiddich of this age again.

Other than that a couple that i tried this year which i would say were excellent was Compass Box Spice Tree and Glenmoarangie Sonnalta PX

[Braden]

I really enjoyed the Glengoyne 21 year old which i had for the first time this year, i have enjoyed the 17 in the past and really didnt expect the 21 to be so sherried, its my surprise and pick of the year.

My best whisky of 2011 would be Port Ellen 26 year old Old Malt Cask botting from Douglas Laing bottled in October 2008. I had it in the cabinet for almost 3 years and decided to open it this year and i am very pleased i did, brilliant dram. A lovely sweetness and fruitiness, a bit of salt and heaps of peat smoke, brilliant

My favorite of 2011 is:
Laphroaig 10 y.o. Cask Strenght #batch 003!!!

[Tennessee Dave]

I've enjoyed some great drams this year but I tried two that are common but were new to me. The Glenmorangie 10 Classic and Springbank 10 were truly wonderful suprise bottles for me. I love them both.
