Anyone know of any decent ones on the market at the moment? I've tried/had the usual suspects. Bowmore Lamriag 15, Ardbeg Oogy, HP Dark ...

Bit of a dieing art it seems.,,

Have you tried Talisker Amoroso? The peat isn't too heavy as is typical of Talisker. Another option would be Benromach Peated. Although it's not matured in sherry casks there is a Speyside fruity influence. Certainly both very decent drams!

Best IMO are the Lagavulin DE releases. Lagavulin 16 finished in sherry casks.

Have you tried Laphroaigs offering, Lore and PX Cask

The Bowmore Laimrig is my favourite but some other that I've liked:

Bowmore 15 Darkest
Bowmore 18
Lagavulin distillers edition (although I found the peat subdued quite a bit vs the regular 16 at the pub I tried it)

Kilchoman Loch Gorm is 100% sherry matured and quite good. I'd avoid Laphroaig triplewood, very below average.

EWC chapter 16 if you can get hold of one.

And also thinking outside the box; look into the Benriach heavily peated range, they do a sherry finished one I'm sure, can't remember the name though.

Longrow 18yo too. Heavily peated Springbank with sherry maturation. Batch release and sells out fast.

Glendronach peated, its 46% at a reasonable Â£36. personally i found it tasted much better after revisiting it half drunk (the bottle not me Smile

) a few month later

Thank you for all the suggestions guys ! I went with a bottle of Singitory Cask Strength Collection Ledaig 10 Year Old 1st Fill Sherry Cask! Should be exiting

Ooh. Sounds excellent. Let us know how it goes! Is that one of the unchilfiltered collection in the aluminium tubes?
