Ardbeg 10 has been around 7.5 for quite sometime now, wasn't aware it was 8.5 in goa
Any single malt afficionados here?

How is Talisker taste compared to Ardbeg ? Any difference ? Which is better
Rub it in, dude, rub it in!
Though, I must admit, B’lore pricing is the only thing that stands between me and dipsomania
Talisker is the only single malt from the Isle of Skye. It’s a bit sweeter than most Islay malts, though there’s still a hint of peat. Ardbeg, by comparison is far more smoky and peaty.

I had got 4 bottles of Talisker (2 for my friends and 2 for myself). This was from the domestic alcohol shop in T3.
The Talisker is much less peatier than the Adberg and very smooth. It will still be peaty for those who want zero peat.
Goes well with most palettes and if you can get it at a good price, go for it.
AKS07 got me started on this.
Just got a bottle of McClelland a couple of days ago-I rate it as an excellent value for money single malt.Having tasted/stock some of the other better known brands like Laphroiag, Ardbeg, Glenfiddich, GlenMorangie, Glenlivet, Balvenie, I find if the smoky peaty flavour is too strong, I don't enjoy it as much as if it s a bit muted. Balvenie is more to my taste.
I have now shifted into wine drinking( though I do have a occasional single malt)

I like Brilliance, the peated one is also good. Haven't tried the others.
From what is available here in bangalore, Bold is amazing for the price

Depends. Last I went the shop was closed due to change of license and the time before it the only single malt available was Talisker. So depending upon the stock, there are very little choices. If you can, go to the city and buy from the L1 stores in Gurgaon, much better collection and slightly cheaper.
Try the Edited first. If you don't like it, Bold. and then Brilliance.
Difficult choice. Ardbeg is peaty while Talisker is a fine balance of sweet and peat. Chances are that you will like Talisker more. Having said Ardbeg is a lovely whisky.
Last evening we had this to celebrate my father in law's birthday.
This no age statement 46% expression unpeated offering is double casked in Bourbon before finishing in quarter casks which allows more interaction between wood and spirit, intensifying maturation for depth and richness.
There is no mention of what type of quarter casks though.
