      @Megatron1505 - Jameson's is always a staple for me. Been trying out new whiskeys and going back to some (affordable) ones I hadn't had in a while. The Bulleit Rye is new for me, so I'm excited to try it out. It's budget style price wise, but if I like it as much as I did the Bourbon, I'll be a happy guy.

                  @Max Power have you tried Red Breast 12, Irish Whiskey? I just picked up a bottle based on reviews and it is fantastic.

                    That 8 year old Lagavullin special edition is so good I had to buy (and subsequently drink) two bottles…  😎

                      In fact, I own two of them as well, as I think ist Price may rise. But other than that I'm not a collector, it's meant to be drunk.

                      @megatron1505 yes, in fact that was the first Whiskey I bought myself after a trip to Ireland. It's been 11 years since, but I still recall it as one of the finest irish whiskies I've tasted. In fact, I feel like I would want to own another bottle now.

                          They're not all full anymore, I guess one third is empty, some are still closed, some are my current Drinks and the most precious ones are only for Special moments (even if it would make sense to drink them sooner or later. But there's no way I can afford a 30 year Old Whisky with the current Prices anymore).

                              The best is (to me) the 18 Year old. I got it at a reasonable Price, around 70-80 €. I wouldn't pay over 100 for it - the Variation has been quite wild over the last years. It's in my top 3 of all whiskies I've had so far.

                              A Close second is the Distiller's Edition. Around 60€ for the 1L Version makes it the most value for Money - if you like the fruity Sherry influences of the extra maturation.

                                  Personally I like the friends edition and the 57 North, but you can't go wrong with the 10yr, still a great whisky.

                                      I haven't tried the Distillers edition, so I couldn't say for sure, but personally I'm not a fan of fancy cask finishes.

                                      I have tried Dark Storm and its not as good as the standard 10yr old.

                                        The Dark Storm is indeed inferior to the Standard 10 YO, although it's a good Whisky. It's probably the most peaty Talisker of the ones I tried, but in that field there's also good Islay whiskies and it lacks some cask influences that the 10 YO has to offer.

                                        Like I wrote regarding the Distillers Edition, it depends on wether you like Sherry influenced Whisky or not. I think that the peaty -spicy note of Talisker and the sweetness of the Sherry create a super complex Whisky that has a lot different aspects to explore. Same goes for the Port Ruighe, but this one lacks a bit age and maturation.

                                        So, I'd recommend either the Distiller's Edition for a Sherry influenced Talisker or the Standard 10 YO for a less complex but well aged Whisky.
