I just spent a small fortune!

Clicky

i intend to get into whiskeys one day, for now i only go as far as southern comfort! Far tastier *ducks for cover*

Ah yes one of my favourite shops

For those interested:

My Faves in no particular order

Bladnoch (non Chill Filtered if you can get it)

Old Pulteney

Talisker

Tyrconnel (Irish)

Bushmills Black Bush (Irish)

What I'd really like to try is one of these.... or maybe get a new car

Price: £4,255.32 £5,000.00 Including VAT at 17.5%

£6.47, not really a fortune is it?

Whisky fan but oddly not a big drinker of it! Only have the one bottle on the go at the time for the odd evening tipple. Presently its my favourite - a 31 yr old rare (single) malt Linkwood.....by far and away the best whisky I've ever had....not like that earthy island crap! Oli.

I quite like Glenmorangie - 10yo, I have a bottle downstairs, but don't drink much of it - maybe a glass the odd evening.

I haven't been able to drink anything resembling whisky since, on a very drunken night, my mate and I mixed a half bottle of vodka with a half bottle of scotch and drank the resulting 'cocktail'.

It's fair to say I didn't feel too healthy the next day!

Cheers,
James

Bowmore whiskey is really good - it has a slightly smoky taste which makes it a little different.

My current personal favourite is Laphroaig. Very smoky Islay - it's not a taste for everyone, and not as "smooth" as other malts but I get to keep it all to myself

I like it but it's wasted on me, once it's opened I can't leave it alone. Laphroaig as above is a nice drink, you wouldn't get it all to yourself here

Must admit, I do like a wee dram every now and again. My particular favourite is a nice drop of Bell's blended scotch whisky with a nice big slug of lemonade or coca cola.............

I hope your hanging your head in shame right now

I have a bottle of 1966 Macallan sitting here.

I need to get rid of it as I hate the stuff, my recently departed dad was given it as a gift only realised the other day it's £170 a bottle!!!!!

Open to sensible offers

All you Whisky lovers are going to hate me for this, a few years ago i inherited 71 single malts the oldest is a 21 year old Springbank the most expensive is probably a 14 year old Cragganmore, Special Edition, bottle number 0038, not much of that one left.
Some times i display them in alphabetical order and sometimes by Geography:....

Then there was the wine celler
We drank all the white wines quickly and now down to only 48 reds and one box of 1st Cru.

Seriously thinking of a "Drink Scotch for charity day"

Just can't work out how people could get home

There is a good use for cheapo blended stuff, putting it in the Christmas cake or sticking it in a cup of coffee when you have a bad cold (works wonders!).

Single malt all the way for actual sipping whiskey though, and must be neat, no water or ice to spoil the flavour.

I do enjoy a nice malt. Laphroig is also a favourite of mine. However for simplicity i do enjoy a JD and Coke!!!


Next door neighbour is a big fan and keeps dropping me a wee dram off when he opens a bottle... which is nice! Last one was 58%, he didnt like it so gave me just under half a bottle. Very nice chap indeed.
