My newbie m8

[ralfy legend]

Quick story, my pal is a hard working trucker and after a hard week relaxes with a Jura origin, now I've told him there's far better out there, so it's took a year but he's tried glenmorangie 10 this weekend and he's enjoyed it, so my question for you is what is similer in taste to glenmorangie but lower in price? Thanks lads.

Frankly, Glenmo 10 is generally pretty cheap. I expect he could get Aberlour 10 for maybe 5 pounds less and the profile may intersect so that he likely would enjoy it too. An even cheaper one would be Glen Moray Classic which probably has an even closer flavor profile to Glenmo 10 at least according to David Wishart, whisky book pundit. The Glen Moray goes for about 18 pounds.

There is plenty at around that price point - HP 12, Glenlivet founders, Glenfiddich 12, Talisker Skye, Aberlour 12, Auchentoshan American Oak, Fettercairn etc...

I'd be tempted to try a lot of the entry level whiskies from the different distilleries, there may be a style he prefers to Jura or Glenmorangie, then try a step up in his favourite distillery or style (maybe a single cask from an Indie bottler?).

The only single malts which you will find cheaper are those found on offer in the big supermarkets, such as auchentoshan American oak which is often £20

[opelfruit]

Yeah your looking at almost all the entry level stuff in a supermarket at that price. Anything more unusual will require an online order and thus usually delivery costs, although amazon do free delivery on their own stocked items over £20.

Glen Grant 10 is another cracker for the price but you don't usually see that in supermarkets.

How about Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Highland Single Malt - usually between £18 and £20, and won the best NAS single malt award at the IWSC last year:

I poured some for my Dad in my own mini blind taste test last summer and his drinks cabinet is never without one now.

Sainsbury's Taste the Difference and Aldi's Glen Marnock range are all ok for their price tag

Glen Moray is often on sale over here and is inoffensive.
