Nice collection. I've only ever had one cask strength malt (a glengoyne, which I still have half a bottle of) but I've been meaning to try some others.

I'm searching far and wide, but I've yet to discover a single malt I don't like.
The 1989 ltd Glen Moray is my pick of these. It happens to be the cheapest, but tastes great.

Call that a collection! Pffft...

Very partial to a Clynelish myself, however not many of my malts have that much whisky in the bottle.

This photo was taken a week ago when I got them home from a little roadtrip.
There's substantially less left after the wife has been at them

Looks like some lovelies in there. Not tried the Morey 1989, but might give it a go next time I come across it.

Cardhu is one of my all time favorites, it's lovely.

I've got some Balvenie 14 year in the kitchen that was finished in old rum casks.  Once you've got over the first mouthful burning the back of your eyeballs then it really is quite smooth.
Advice worth what you just paid for it.

I've only got one bottle of whiskey, not a massive whiskey drinker - prefer bourbon (Makers Mark).

I got this whiskey from 'The Whiskey Shop' as a treat to myself - I'm sure it's partially aged in Sherry barrels and is kind of a halfway between a single malt and a bourbon in terms of taste.

Got a bottle of the Clynelish cask strength for my birthday.

Tasty stuff.

I may not have drunk it so damned fast (chipped away at it for a bit more than a week) if I knew that it was >£100 (as implied above), woulda saved it more. But I thoroughly enjoyed it, 'tis the main thing, no?
