Please use code which deducts delivery charge at the last step of checkout. Normal price is around $70.00 so it makes it a good deal IMHO.

The Highland style of Whisky is generally considered to be one of the most approachable styles. Deep gold in colour with a nose of heather and wood smoke Highland Park has a deceptively complex palate that ranges from sweet maltiness to smokey peat and savoury spices.

    Are these good whiskies? Any comments from knowledgeable people to an amateur would be greatly appreciated!

      Everyone seems to say that Highland Park is the single malt for newbies/first timers its very good. IIRC Laphroaig is more of a peaty whiskey so I wouldn't recommend that for new comers.

      I'd recommend Glenlivet and Glenmorangie traditionally around or less than this price.

      For a beginner, I would say stick to Highlands and Speysides.

      My favourite starter is Auchentoshan, the Three Wood is particularly nice. Spey River 12y.o is a nice single malt under $50, not overly complex though. Also great is the Bruichladdich Laddie Classic, although it is a little difficult to track down. The Bowmore 12y.o is affordable and approachable for a newbie. Fnally, if you can track down a Glen Moray 16y.o it is paticularly tasty and not too harsh to start with.

      Once you have learned to love these, you can move over into the Islays, which have much more complex flavour profiles.

      Highland Park is a decent Highland malt. Glenfiddich is a very commercially successful one, that I find a bit boring. Starting with malts from the Highlands or SPeyside is a good way to get into single malt scotch.

      Some others that I would consider good for beginners are Dalwhinnie or Glen Elgin.

      After this go to Speysiders, like Mortlach or malts finished in sherry casks, to start to get some more complexity.

      As someone has already said, I would advise those new to whisky avoid buying anything from the Islay distilleries (Laphroaig, Ardbeg, Lagavulin, Caol Ila, Bunnahabhain, Kilchoman, Bowmore, Bruichladdich might be the only exception) or Talisker until you've tried them and are sure you like peaty whiskies. If you're looking to learn more about whiskies, popping into a bar with a decent selection and knowledgeable staff every once in a while to sample some whiskies is not the worst idea. (if you're in Melb - Whisky and Alement, Baranow's, Cure bar and eatery)

        I believe DM Ascot vale (victoria), is having a whisky tasting night this friday the 16th, unfortunately I won't be able to attend, having two wisdom tooth removed under general anaesthetic on that day!
