Most of the whiskies I've tried and loved are still available and being produced, but some have sadly been discontinued or distilleries have been shut down.. Here's my ones to get before they're all gone.
Ardbeg Uigeadail OB - getting scarcer and scarcer as the sherry stocks at Ardbeg are being vatted at a larger amount than what's produced. One of the best Ardbegs whatever competition.
Balblair 16yo OB - Balblair's now making some vintage OB's instead of the ones with age statement. I've got this in england some years back, and been looking for it ever since when travelling to the UK. Sadly discontinued, splendid malt.
Bowmore Tempest OB batch#1 - One that won't disappear anytime soon, but try to get your hands on the batch#1, as I think it will be a bit like the usually very nice Aberlour A'bunadh, weaker as the number of batches increase.
Dallas Dhu 10yo G&M - the closest you get to a young affordable Dallas Dhu today, and I guess as close as you get to a young OB, like it was back in the good old days. Worth checking out before its all gone.
Edradour/Glenforres 12yo OB - Glenforres was an experiment at Edradour, still available broadly at a fair price, and it is very good, I like it much better than the standard OB.
Highland Park 8yo 57% OB - A classic bottling from the 80's mouthwatering HP.
Old Fettercairn 10yo OB - Relaunched as Fettercairn 1824 some years ago without the Old, with 12yo, 15yo and 18yo, now again relaunched as only Fettercairn with Fior, 24yo 30yo and 40yo. But try the old 10yo first and compare. It's a smooth malt.
Macallan 12yo OB Sherry - Less and less 12yo sherry matured Macallan is produced, and I believe it's all stopped now, one to get before prices become ridiculous.
These whiskies are all available today at a pretty fair price, but who knows for how long, so to get something to save for later enjoyment, or if you like, but I never recommend, invest!
