On saturday night I'm having a few friends over to sample some whiskies - some already converted to single malts, some not. So I thought I'd give you folks a list of what I've got and take suggestions re which to serve and in what order. Whiskies are (in no order): Dalwhinnie 15 Aberlour 10 Aberlour A'bunadh (batch 11) CS Bruichladdich 10 Glenfiddich Caoran 12 Glenfiddich Distillery Edition 15 CS The Glenlivet 18 Balvenie Doublewood 12 Tamnavulin 12 Talisker 10 Caol Ila 12 Laphroaig 10 Ardbeg 10 Glenmorangie 10 Dalmore Black Isle 12 The Arran Malt (no age CF variety) Waitrose single Speyside 1981 23yrs port finish
As an alternative, I also have some Bells Special Reserve pure malt and Virginia Gentleman bourbon.
I'm thinking of perhaps 6 to give a variety of styles, decent size measures while preserving the taste buds. I think the Dalwhinnie and A'bunadh have to be in there. So what do you reckon?
