Just seen the Malt Manics Awards of there annual awards for 2016.
It has got me thinking what whisky (Malt,Grain,Blend) have been your outstanding 'Top 3'.
I've really had some outstanding stuff and know my top 3 but I'm stuck between 1/2.
Your thoughts ladies and gents please! |

Malt: Yamazaki 18
Grain: Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky
