Got a bottle of Benriach at the moment.
Dunno what your gourmet palate thinks of that, but I reckon it's alright.

I think I've had it and didn't rate it.
Perfectly fine as an entry level malt though, no shame in that.

If you'd jumped in with Glenfiddich then I'd be all sneery.

I like Speysides, apparently.
Dunno what that means, aside fromt he fact that Speyside is near Glasgow somewhere.

it means lighter, sweeter malts
Islay malts are the peaty ones. If you like speyside ones then you'll like Japanese ones, such as Yamazaki and Hibiki.

Glenfiddich's dishwater then, is it?
I assumed that, like wine, supermarkets don't carry terribly good stock.

it's just dull
No depth to the flavour and not a pleasant finish. Supermarkets are ok for whisky, most stock balvenie and auchentoshan, but your best bet is a specialist off licence. There's one in Leeds called Latitude which is pretty good.

In London the Whisky Exchange has a shop in Vinopolis - in Southwark

I recommend Bunananananahabhain
for getting monstrously trashed on a Sunday night.

is it alright?
Sweet, peaty or balanced?

Not one I've sampled as yet.
