Talisker 25 or Bunnahabhain XXV

[CGRenn]

Right Ladies and Gents!

Birthday in a month, and a no better excuse to go and spend a stupid amount on something rather special. Ive been having a good look and figuring out what I would like.
Whittled it down to two bottles and valued everyone’s opinion

Talisker 25 Year Old – Most probably the most recent bottling (2015 I think?) or if I can get an older cask strength one for under £265

or

Bunnahabhain 25 Year Old – 46.3%

Obviously I’m open to suggestions, I’m going to open my Glengoyne 25 I got earlier in the year also at some point before Christmas.

From those two I'd pick the bunna.. but there are some cracking drams out there for less money..

My experience with the Bunnahabhain 25 has always been excellent, I have not had this particular Talisker 25 but my experience of Talisker 25 bottling's has been variable from very good to excellent depending on which bottling.

If you are not completely set on either of those two ( of which I'd pick the Bunnahabhain )

The Glenlivet XXV is my personal top pick.

Depends on your tastes, I am more a Talisker fan than Bunna so personally I would be more attracted to the Talisker, although the Bunna 25 is excellent.

If the 25 years is significant for your purchase I had a bottle of the Dalwhinnie 1987
25 year old Diageo Special Release 2012 which was very good and is still available in TWE for £217

I'd go for the Bunna if it were me, but I'm sure both will be excellent

If 25 years is significant then how about the Glen Moray 1988 25 Year Old Port Finish Batch 3 and only £125. I would also suggest the Glenlivet 25
