Thumbs up If you are partial to a drop of malt......

From tomorrow Tescos are offering Glen Morangie at £16 per bottle (boxed). Usually £38

For the uninitiated Morangie is a very classy single malt

Hey, I'm not just a JD monster, I also like a nice single malt you know I have completed several days of extensive testing of the products on offer at numerous Scottish distilleries and have found them to be very satisfactory

I have Laphroig for when I fancy a peaty single malt and Highland Park (12 year old) for when I fancy something a little smoother.

I LOVE both of them!!

Yes you are, only proper alkies would drink west coast whisky

I like Glenmorangie - but the standard (10 or 12?) only costs about £20 normally - so which is the one reduced from £38? £16 is a good price regardless.

BTW, Mortlach is probably my favourite, although tricky to find these days. Highland Park will do nicely, Glenfarclas as mentioned above is an absolute bargain in most guises - sorry 'expressions', and most Speysides are OK with me.

Auchentoshen is lovely...

Talisker and Laphroaig always tastes a little tainted to me.

My mate rates Talisker, i'm not overly keen. I'm a Johnnie Walker guy. Big fan of the Gold Label, prefer it over the Blue to be honest, the Green's nice too though.
