As the title says, what has been your biggest whisky regret Question

Which whisky have you purchased only to totally regret buying Question

Personally in recent times for me it has to be the Dalmore 15 year old.

To be honest I didn't really have any regrets about any bottles , until you mentioned the dal more 15 , I just bought one 3 months ago , i haven't tasted it yet , but now I already regret buying it, is it Â£50 wasted.

Cheers Alan. Wink

My biggest whisky regrets are more what i didnt buy rather than what i did buy. For example i wish i had bought more of the Ardbeg Supernova 2009 when it was released. I regret not buying more Port Ellen years ago as it is getting more and more expensive and way beyond my budget for an everyday dram.

I don't think I have big regrets, since I haven't tried the Dalmore 15 yet Razz

I wouldn't describe it as a regret, but I was disappointed when I bought the Aberlour 10. I know it flies on the face of many recommendations here but, after the admittedly very tempting nose I found it unbalanced and lacking smoothness on the palate. Still, it's very cheap and I still drink it occasionally so it's not exactly a regret.

I also regret not buying a Glenfiddich Foundation Reserve...

I regret not buying more Ardbeg 10 when Asda was selling it off fro Â£20 early last year, i thought 20 bottles was plenty at the time Laughing

A bottle which i regret buying is Drumguish from the Speyside distillery

I have had a few average whiskies which i wouldnt say i regret but i wouldnt buy again, for example Tamnavulin 12 was average but i have tried it and there are loads more to try.

I regret not buying a Glenrothes distilled 1973 and bottled in2000.

It was expensive (for me at the time) and I still see it now and then.. Sad

buying....Id say that I got a Glenfiddich Caoran Reserve....Ive had several before and enjoyed them. But one bottle wasnt just smokey and peaty, it was like licking an ashtray!! Laughing

I regretted getting Royal Lochnagar 12, a wee bit heavy handed with the caramel flavouring with this one i think, opps i mean colouring Twisted Evil
