Cannot believe you have to ask the question.

Mny places will give you a good deal.

Remember you have many many blends including various types of Mault.

Try and get Loak In Ora, spelling may be wrong but speak it and it will be O.K.

You should be able to get it from the Quay Side at Aberdeen. Absolutly superb.

The boys and girls will love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't think it would go down to well if I take in a crate of Lidl whisky. I am looking at Grouse, Bells and Teachers.

What's confusing? Neither Grouse, Bells or Teachers are malts.

No, it was the "good stuff" I was referring to.

If you have to go for a blend, I'd stick with Johnnie Walker Black, Chivas Regal, or the suchlike. There are also some new ones out that you can get at Oddbins with names like "the peaty one" and "the light airy one" which, IIRC, are blends.

My mistake -- the ones I'm thinking of are vatted malts at around 17 quid a throw (cheaper than Chivas), made by Jon, Mark and Robbo.

"Whiskey" is Irish "whisky" is Scottish. I'd take Bells or Teachers as an insult The Oddbins stuff is pretty good, but only comes in cheeky little 50cl bottles for £17ish - Costco is worth a look.

What's the idea behind "but not malt" anyway? I don't know anyone who likes whisky but doesn't like single malt.

Thought you wanted the cheapest. Its not marked up as LIDL anyway.

If the choice was between Bells, Teachers or Grouse then I'd take the Grouse personally!

The others are a bit rough round the edges imo.
