    Glenmorangie; nice easy drinking lowland malt. Miles better than the peaty island ones.

    Those 7 men of Tain know their stuff.

    My uncle had a couple of bottles of Glenlivet floating around a couple of weeks back, really wish I could remember which they were, one was rather expensive, 3 figures sort of price that he'd been given, wasn't allowed much of that. The other was cheaper and IMO much nicer. I think it's testimony to how nice it was that I can't remember exactly what I was drinking. I found a rather drunkenly typed note on the iphone the next day but it didn't make much sense, unfortunatley this was after I'd left :lol:

    I got a bottle of Aberlour 16 for £23 in Booths around Christmas. Bargainous! Now, if only I could find Lagavulin 16 for half price too...

    I'm on the old JD and coke tonight. I'm not a bourbon fan really, but I'll drink it when someone's bought it me as a present. I've got some Famous Grouse too; 2 bottles from Christmas :)

    Glenlivet and Glenmorangie are my favourite 'every day' whisky's. A bit of Talisker or Macallan is a nice treat (I think it's Macallan anyway)
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    My daughter bought me some Hibiki 17 as a present from Japan.

    It's not a single malt but it is the nicest stuff I've ever tasted. The good news is I have sourced it locally. :D The not so very good news is it's £78.00 a bottle. :cry:
