I’m a bit late to this this but I’ll throw my penny’s worth in....
I rate the Rattray’s Aros quite highly. I think you still get enough tobacco flavour whilst them not being too heavily topped and still tasting the toppings. I think they are all good but Tower Bridge is my favourite.
I love St Bruno and you should definitely try Ennerdale. It’s very tasty, I’m with
@smudgersmissingleg on that one. Definitely not “granny closet” for me.
The G&H ones, especially the flakes, I find to be the most tobacco forward of the aros I’ve tried. Which I often find isn’t what I want when I reach for one.
oh and mixers should never be put near single malt whisky. Only cheap blends are allowed to be diluted with fizzy drinks. And even then it’s questionable. ?
