Having a love for Whisky I am often bemused by tasting notes and not getting the same thoughts as written on the label, I am not saying the labels are wrong, just that in layman’s terms they are not worth the paper they are written on. With this in mind and always forgetting whether I like a particular Whisky or not, I decided to make this website and give my own scores and where possible added prices per bottle at the time of purchase. I am not a great fan of the peated whiskies but I will be fair and honest in my opinions. When scoring the marks will be out of 10. All of the whiskies are of my own choice and in no way are endorsed by companies to give an impartial opinion. The whiskies listed here are (I think) affordable or something to add to your wish list.
This has to be one of my all time favourites, smooth to taste, no harsh aftertaste and full of flavour.
Non Peated
Price: £45 in some supermarkets, very rarely comes on offer (as of July 2026)
Up to now this is my absolute favourite, lovely taste from the Madeira Cask, smooth on the palate and oozing with flavour.
Non Peated
Price: £105 on Amazon ..price seems to vary between £105 and £150. (as of July 2026)
Lovely taste, smooth on the palate and well worth the money if you get it around the £35 mark.

This is a lovely drink, it’s not too Oaky in taste and is very smooth, I was sceptical at first thinking ‘is it worth the price?’ but it was on offer in Sainsbury’s so I thought i’d give it a try ….and I am glad I did, definitely one of my favourites.

Price: £45.50 from Amazon (as of July 2026)
Whenever I go to the supermarkets and nothing takes my fancy, this is what I usually end up buying, nice clean whisky and usually on offer somewhere.
