So, if you took a look at Wishart's clusters, you can see it's interesting, but a little hard to digest. I took the liberty of naming each cluster and choosing an exemplar for each cluster. I tried to choose the exemplar on the basis of it's availability and price, in both cases aiming for the whiskey within the reach of most people.
Here are my selections:
- A "Sherry": Macallan 12 year ($39.99)
- B "Nutty": Aberlour 12 year ($35.99)
- C "Fruity": Glenlivit 12 year ($25.99)
- D "Light Fruit": Auchentoshan "Select" ($23.99)
- E "Light Flowers": Glen Moray 12 year ($25.99)
- F "Malty": Tomatin 12 year ($29.99)
- G "Sweet Flower": Glenfiddich 12 year ($25.99)
- H "Sweet Smoke": Old Pulteney 12 year ($39.99)
- I "Dry Smoke": Bowmore "Legend" ($23.99)
- J "Peaty": Laphroaig 10 year ($32.99)
If you want to try each cluster, this is a good start. The prices are based on Beverages & More, a California chain that offers some of the best prices I can find.
