I've been curious about that because I like Port Charlotte. Not too great?

... only for an islay. when your peers are ardbeg, lagavulin, caol ila, laphroaig etc, it's a tough gig

Finished a Glenlivet founder's reserve (which i don't think I'd mentioned above) and the gap annoyed me so I took a chance on Teelings small batch trusting that the rotgut theyd sold me when they first started out would have improved with time, experience and the few awards id seen them garner

Very typical irish pot still to start, maybe not as gentle as the others, but where its quite notable is that it doesnt come sweet at all despite a long enough finish. Cant see it becoming a favourite because i like em sweet, but certainly in no way a bad effort in the thirtyish quid bracket

Couple of sips later and i take it back about the sweetness, tho not as deep or rich as youd be used to
