Whisky, no 'e'.

And if your lucky they will put the 10 year old in the box as has just happened to me. It's funny I was hoping they were gonna do it as I was opening the box and there it is staring at me, laphroaig 10 yr.

Voted hot as the price is great. The whiskey, as observed already, is not their best. I went for the bottle of Ardbeg Tesco had down to £37.

It's not about being pedantic it's basic spelling. This is a post about whisky not whiskey. It's scotch so it's really not asking much to label it correctly.

v good price for a distinctive whiskey. If your a noobie and think they all taste the same then try this super smokey but medicinal tasting jobbie some hate it for its iodine-esk after taste though.

There is an 'e' in pedant though :P

A nice whisky...acquired taste, peaty and slightly medicinal...better to stck to their stronger 10 year old...better still the quarter cask! Still, at £20 it's a good deal...but at £20-£25 I'd plump for Jura or Talisker Storm on a deal commonly seen :man:

I normally like Laphroaig so when I saw this on offer last Christmas I thought I'd try some. I didn't really like it very much. I'll stick to the original or QC if I can find it at a good price.

Names and spellings[edit]
Much is made of the word's two spellings: whisky and whiskey.[3][4] There are two schools of thought on the issue. One is that the spelling difference is simply a matter of regional language convention for the spelling of a word, indicating that the spelling varies depending on the intended audience or the background or personal preferences of the writer (like the difference between color and colour; or recognize and recognise),[3][4] and the other is that the spelling should depend on the style or origin of the spirit being described. There is general agreement that when quoting the proper name printed on a label, the spelling on the label should not be altered.[3][4] Some writers refer to "whisk(e)y" or "whisky/whiskey" to acknowledge the variation.

The spelling whiskey is common in Ireland and the United States while whisky is used in all other whisky producing countries.[5] In the US, the usage has not always been consistent. From the late eighteenth century to the mid twentieth century, American writers used both spellings interchangeably until the introduction of newspaper style guides.[6] Since the 1960s, American writers have increasingly used whiskey as the accepted spelling for aged grain spirits made in the US and whisky for aged grain spirits made outside the US.[7] However, some prominent American brands, such as George Dickel, Maker's Mark, and Old Forester (all made by different companies), use the 'whisky' spelling on their labels, and the Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits, the legal regulations for spirit in the US, also use the 'whisky' spelling throughout.[8]

"Scotch" is the internationally recognized term for "Scotch whisky".

Does anyone else smell smoke :wink:
Horrible whiskey, very much an acquired taste, but heat added for the price.

Nice whiskey, heat added

I agree... not recommended even at this price

Not sure this is any better than the Aldi Islay for £17.99

Still a deal compared to RRP but I don't recommend anyone buy it!

£20 is a decent price... but this isn't as good as the 10 year / quarter cask that you can also get in supermarkets.

Brings it back to the price it should be.

Was just about to post a deal for this from Asda at £25. :confused:

I thought that was a decent buy.

Have some heat.
