    I’m a scotch fan - what bottle is that? It looks like a sampler or something. I’ve seen similar labels on stuff that’s presumably come from a barrel, rather than gone through the bottling facility

      This one was a gift. I’m pretty sure it was a Total Wine one off. It’s pretty hot, but also lovely peet.

        I love Carol Isla. It’s really delicate despite being very smoky. I’m jealous of that bottle. That one off style bottle was what I’ve seen a few store have, but only the nicer ones.

        I recommend Ledaig - it’s Campbelltown but still great and somewhat similar

        Caol Isla is my favourite - the best of the Island whisky, in my opinion. If you like it, I’d recommend trying Talisker and Bowmore. If you enjoy the peat notes, Laphroaig is the daddy.
