I agree about the bushmills 21. IMO the price is really good.

The dram however is very much an acquired taste. I found it very challenging. For me, the multiple wood finishes do it no favours.

From the list my pick would be the Benriach PX.

Happy shopping!

Nobody recommended the Bunnahabhain 18 yet? It's a stunning dram, the pick of the bunch in my opinion. I'd go for that one and the Benriach 15 Sherry above all.

Bunna 18 is a great whisky but that price is only average rather than a bargain IMHO.
