oh! this is a thread worth stumbling upon.
i work at a brittish food store and can try some nice spirits.
i normally keep bottle of cheap malt like the glen ardoch to drink and not really think about.
it is imo the best malt you can get (at least here) for about 10€,
also a bottle of lagavulin 16 wich is one of my all time favourites.
plus a bottle of something more different like the 12y lagavulin, a laphroaig or the benriach madenensis 13 wich is an incredible well ballanced malt and quite smokey.
a really good spirit and worth trying if you can get hold of a bottle.
worst (proper) scotch in my opinion are glenlivet 12, wich tastes like lite irish whisky and william lawson wich also tastes like nothing, quite cheap tho and if you like light and flowery whisky it is well worth a go.
really weird, not my cup of tea bit interesting also is the inchgower 14, really a strange taste like bitter lemon or something.
