its not bad, quite light and smooth with a hint of toffee. No particular lasting aftertaste though, its kind of like a cheap glenmorangie...there's prob much better whiskies out there to enjoy but then I got this for free so cant complain!

a mate has given me a bottle of cardhu gold reserve as a pressie, haven't had it before and may well crack it open (though it is a school night) hold tight for feedback!....

Oh and if you get a bottle of laphroig select you apparently get a free square foot plot of land on islay...seems like a bizarre gimmick but what the hell, got the bottle for free, have registered my code so now have a plot allegedly...its prob the only opportunity I'm likely to have in my life to own some land!

Happy recipient of a laphroig select gift, not a bad drop. Seems to have more body and flavour than the original from what I remember

I've heard that the current Caol Ila does not taste as good as it once was. I've only tried the recent stuff and wasn't impressed, particularly given it's reputation for being a good drop.....someone I know who has drunk it for years offered me an almost full bottle of it as he said "tha's no Caol Ila, ah know it seys so ah the label but there's no way tha's Caol Ila"....perhaps someone has tinkered with the recipe?

I'm having a bash at Ulysses by Joyce....i gave up on the forward /introduction which was 6 chapters of lofty waffle but the first chapter has been most enjoyable (though the Latin references sail over my head) so far and seems well worth persevering with -

Shawshank Redemption, Stand by Me, Green Mile and The Shining were good adaptations.......but there were some shockers too - Carrie, Christine spring to mind and The Stand did not do the book justice (though I hear they're having another bash at that soon) -
