The spirit looks quite dark so quite a bit of sherry Cask involved here, oloroso or Pedro ximenez? Give us some more info.

I found this on a recent trip to America.
Anyone know where I can find some of this?

Good Morning
So I need a bit of advice for a "for me, from me" gift.
My every day Whiskey is Tullamore Dew.
I also have Glenmorangie and Tullamore Dew 12 year for special occasions.
I can't decide between the following: Talisker 10 Year, Laphroaig 10 Year or Teeling Small Batch.
I also might convince myself to get Bruichladdich Classic Laddie
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Regards

Following your taste profile teeling is probably the safe bet. If you're want to get into something Peaty then I'd start with the laphroaig 10. If you're not used to Peaty stuff then go buy a shot at the bar.
You can probably also look at some sherried whisky. Glenfarclas or glendronach are good starting points.
That classic laddie is good, but there is so much else for that money. Kilchoman Machir Bay for example or bunnahabhain 12.

Thank you morkhans, I will try the Peaty stuff at the bar and then make my decision. Will also have a look at the Kilchoman Machir Bay and Bunnahabhain 12.

Daily Deals Takealot
Laphroaig 10 Year
Daily Deal, get it while it's hot.

If you enjoy Glenmorangie (Lasanta FTW), then perhaps try Macallan Amber. I'm also a fan of Tullies for the daily dram.

Thank you flarkit. I would LOVE to try the Macallan Amber, but it is REALLY expensive. I will write a special note to Santa.
Those are both lightly peated, but will be a really nice intro if you get a taste for it.
The "1824" edition's price is similar to the Laphroaig 10, but the Ernie Button release is more.

Just posting to echo the Lasanta punt. Tasted it last week at the whiskey festival. Amazing stuff with a very unique taste. I would rate it second to Johnny Green, only.
