I'm always surprised how many pretty good and affordable Whiskies there still are out there despite of surging demand and prices. This one (another present) imo is one of those, not quite as stunning as the Tamnavulin for its price, but still a very enjoyable surprise.

I love Eagle Rare. Right now it's on allocation and unfortunately I live in a state that's not on that list.

Legent is quite nice. US bourbon maker and Japanese whisky blender collaboration.

I'm not particularly a whiskey connaisseur, although I do taste differences. Any 12 year old whiskey is fine by me. Younger ones generally are more boozy in the throat and older whiskeys, to my taste at least, are not necessarily better. The more complex they become, the sweeter and more cloying they get as well, and a 10 years old whiskey I find very sweet already.
My go to whiskey is the very affordable Glenfarclas 12. Smooth, but not too smooth. The aftertaste is pretty dry and doesn't linger long, which I prefer, every sip is a new one, it doesn't get muted by the aftertaste of the previous sip.
I do like peaty whiskeys as well, but only when done subtly. Ardbeg I find to be overdone. I like it just as much as a dish with too much garlic for instance, I still enjoy it, but wouldn't repeat it :)

Damn I just know about this thread! Thanks! @ThanatosVI
2 bottles of Balvenie 12s, and 2 bottles of Glenfiddich 18s, what do you guys think??

Balvenie still one of my most favourite brand after tried many of them (the other one is Suntory Yamazaki). While Glenn 18 is more expensive, but I'd take Balvenie 16 over it. Balvenie 12 may good enough to reveal what's good about Balvenie, but complexity wise Glenn 18 easily the better one.

This opinion come from someone that loves Cognac so much, and I value it (in overall) one level higher than whisky. Still, I still do have a little collection for whiskies!
