  • Lagavulin 16yo (favourite winter dram)
  • Talisker 10yo (a gift... too young for my tastes!)
  • Glen Garioch Founder's Reserve (impulse duty free purchase)
  • Bowmore 12yo (first bottle I ever bought... and had it for about a decade now. It's not one of my favourites)

I love single malts, I just can't drink much of them (most of the bottles in that picture are almost full) and they pile up so quickly... I'd love to buy a few more bottles, but I can't seem to justify it to myself when I have all of these at home!

This thread has inspired me to splurge on a new single malt the next time I go through duty free though.
Interesting, I enjoy the Blavenie Doublewood, the Lagavullin 16 , I don't mind the young Talisker - it has some interesting tastes in it, but surprisingly, the Bowmore Legend, the youngest in their range, is one of my"go to" malts. I've been to tastings where there entire core range was offered, and the Legend is the one I like the best.
