Best Everyday Whiskey

Postby damienmcguigan » Tue Jan 05, 2010 7:34 pm

Hey all,

Seen a few posts about people's favourite whiskeys overall. Just wondering what peoples preferred 'everyday' whiskey(s) of choice are?

Money permitted to around £20-25 or €30-35

Also don't forget Crested 10, Greenore & Locke's 8 year Old all good representatives of their respective categories.

also Greenspot which is currently available for €40.99 at the CWS...

i always feel guilty using the 12yo's and other premiums as everyday. i usually have 1 and switch off to the bog standards. had 2 redbreast12yo's tonight, but had to switch to paddys after. a lot of people knock paddys, but i quite like it.

Powers or Blackbush and if I'm feeling particularily flamboyant of an evening I'll go greenspot :)

adrian, where can you find laphroaig in galway aside from freeney's? only have the 1 bottle from the north, so treating it like gold, lol. also how much does the 10yo go for in the south?
