2.. .yes 2....new whiskies I wish to recommend.

[Dave7]

I do not like smokey/peaty whisky so if that is your bag then look away now .

1. Is a blended whisky called The Woodsman.......WoW. so smooth and a lovely flavour. On offer at Tesco £18.00.
I really do recommend it.

2. Is a single malt called AUCHENTOSHAN (its all capitals on the label). Again on offer at £20 down from £32..TBH I would not like to pay full price but it is a pleasant sherry cask whisky.
I need to try a few more but to me its the blended Woodsman.

I'm not a whicky drinker, but the wife appreciates a glass of a winter evening. I'll mention these because she too isn't keen on smokey/peaty ones, and these two went down a storm....

As those are over double the price I would expect them to be better but I think either of the 2 I mentioned are worth a punt.
I should mention......to get the offer you will need a Tesco club card (which is free to anyone).

Monkey Shoulder is a favourite of mine,light and sweet.Bit pricey £23 -28 a bottle.

For those who like the peaty approach Talisker Skye is rather nice. Not cheap but in Western terms 'a sippin whisky'.

Missed out on a Sainsbury bargain,Monkey Shoulder £20,Asda selling at £23 shame it's in the middle of Kirkstall,so for Fathers Day 20th I am going to try Aldi Highland Earl just over £10,it has got some superb write ups,if it's bad for £10 I can mix it coke or lemonade,buying it Tuesday.

Never heard of Woodsman but I definitely can confirm that Auchentoshan is quite unfashionable amongst the illuminati but is as you say, smooth, delicious and probably more so because of its location just outside clydebank, but its very reasonably priced and a fantastic introduction to the whisky world.

Highland Earl is our "go to" but only with a mixer (lemonade for us).
But don't try and compare it to a a half decent malt.

Has it got a light sweet taste,I don't want a throat burning harsh taste,I would prefer the Monkey Shoulder but not at £28,I missed out on a bargain offer in Sainsbugs £20,and a ride two buses at £23 is just not worth the hassle.

This is the only whisky I drink. Stupidly expensive here though so I grab a bottle or two when I'm back.

It's about the same price as Lagavulin is here in the states. Hey, if that's what you like, that's what you drink.

Eldest son bought me this for my birthday .

Now I do like a smokey whisky however for this thread I also recommend Auchentoshan American Oak.
Monkey Shoulder was what got me into whisky however not a fan nowadays. Naked Grouse is my current favourite blend after Johnny Walker Black.
Aberlour 10/12 are nice non smokeys and can be had for decent price on offer.
Glenlivet 12 is always a staple.
Always looking for more 'supermarket special' recommendations as some are lovely

Going to try Ancnoc in Edinburgh tomorrow.
