Whisky Forum - I have Â£150 to spend on a bottle of Whisky.

Afternoon all,

I've not seen one of these threads for a while, so thought I'd start one of my very own!

I have the approximate sum of Â£150 to spend on Whisky due to a recent drunken trip to the casino which ended rather well.

I'm fairly well gounded in whisky and find enjoyment in many different varieties. So with this extra money that I have, I thought I'd go away from the usual Â£25 - Â£60 range that I usually drink in and branch out on something special (relatively spealing).

So any advice, not so much advice on what I would get, we do after all have individual tastes, more advice on what you would pick up, should you have that kind of money lying around.

It could be one bottle, it could be many, just after some inspiration really before I blow my stack.

What i have tried and know i like and would buy again is

Glenfarclas 30
Glen Ord 25
Ardbeg Supernova 2009 and 2010
Highland Park 25
Benromach 30 not sure if you can still get this under Â£150

A little under budget would be The Macallan 18 Year Old 1993 Sherry Oak (70cl, 43%).
It goes for$250. Canadian here in Ontario but is much more reasonable in Europe. I would suggest 2 drams I had recently, Ardbeg 27 yrs and 32 yrs but you would need a lot more successful trips to the Casino to afford those bottles.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, keep them coming!

I'm thinking about the following..

The Octomore 4.1
The black arts 3
Tomtain 30 (I was at the Whisky fringe where it won 1st place)

Glenfarclas 30 year old is the best 30 year old for your money IMO or I would go for one of the Glenfarclas Family Casks or perhaps a Glendronach Single Cask as already suggested by DavidUK

I will 2nd the suggestion of the Highland Park 25 which i recently treated myself to, the most expensive bottle i have bought myself to date, like you albo i usually stick to whisky under Â£60 but it was a special occasion and the HP 25 was outstanding

I went for the Black Art 3 Top Malt

Leaves me with a little etra which I'm planning on picking but a Tali 57 North.

Thanks for all the suggestions, it's always interesting to see what people would pick up given the chance.
