Old Potrero, Yoichi 10 or Edradour Bourbon Decanter

[Gazrob]

Hi I've got around £90 to spend which one of these three would you buy? They are around the £90 mark but the Yoichi 10 is around £100. Thank you.

Yoichi 10 for £100 feels like a decent price at the moment. Personally I'm not a fan of the old potrero. Edradour is usually a decent shout. Why these three specifically??

[Gazrob]

Well I've started to buy some whisky from a small family run whisky shop and they don't have a vast selection. I know these three bottles are really hard to find here in the uk and want to buy something that I know I'll probably never find again. These three stood out as something I'd like to try. I've never had a Japanese whisky. I've never had a rye whisky and I also prefer ex bourbon matured whisky over sherry matured whisky.

yoichi 10 at £100 is a steal, I'd recommend buying it. I searched country wise when they discontinued both the aged yoichi single malt and miyagiko, ended up with a 10 yr old of each for around £80 per bottle, they are climbing nearer £200 these days.

Hi deadz yeah i think I'll go for that one as I've never tried a Japanese whisky before. It is more than I would like to pay in fact it's more then I've paid for any whisky but it's the only chance I'll get to try it.

£100 for Yoichi 10yo is an absolute bargain - I managed to pick up a bottle for £150 last Christmas.

[Gazrob]

Ive gone for the 10. I can get the Yoichi 12 for £185 I think that's a bit too much but what do you guys think?

[dindu]

That's also great price for the 12 yo. Approx £100 cheaper than the going rate!

[Gazrob]

Yeah I thought it was cheaper but I would only buy the 12 to sell on. Id buy the 10 to drink. If I bought the 12 I'd be worried that I couldn't find a buyer.
