@Slainte-Mhath I actually prefer the current OB 16 year old Mortlach to the old F&F 16 (although I've not tasted that for almost 10 years now). @Telex Snap. Agree about Blair Athol, and I have a Benrinnes and an Inchgower in the stash. Never tasted the Pittyvaich - I didn't know it was in that range.
@Telex Rosebank of course, but hard to find and too expensive in these days, then Benrinnes and Blair Athol. I would also like to try the old Mortlach bottling, but it's too expensive as well.
@Slainte-Mhath yes! What are some of yours faves of the series besides this one? I liked the Blair Athol, Benrinnes, Inchgower, and Pittyvaich too so far.
@Telex I really like this F&F expression!
