Bearman Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 England won the grand slam. Clive Woodward played in the centre. That's enough to make anyone take to the drink. Ron Banks Midlands Hurricanes and Barrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Tim Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 12 yr bunny heaven Xmas present from the ma, just cracked it open - cheers ma and cheers all I finished my bottle of that just before Christmas. I'm working my way through a bottle of Glenlivert 18yr old, but it's no where near as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearman Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) Two bottles of whisky (so far)for my Birthday. Both 12 YO Speysides, an Aberlour and an Aberfeldy. As the diet starts again tomorrow they will probably last a lot longer than the Islays I had for Christmas.

Robin Evans Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Last night was spent in the very north of Scotland in front of a log fire. Having called for essential supplies at Dalwhinnie and Clynelish on the way here it was a very pleasant experience - particularly as the wind is howling and the rain is lashing outside. Wolfburn tomorrow will be interesting... it's just reopened at it closed over 150 years ago. May do Rockrose gin tomorrow too whilst we are in the area Contented of rotherham Edited January 5, 2016 by Robin Evans "I love our club, absolutely love it".

One of my favourite 'light' whiskies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May do Rockrose gin tomorrow too whilst we are in the area Contented of rotherham Clynelish is a really good dram, although not widely available. Almost next door to the sadly mothballed Brora distillery, which made a stonking whisky in its day. The bottling I bought (and enjoyed) at a normal price in the Eighties now commands a price that I'd refuse to pay even if I could afford it.

Robin Evans Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Same with Rosebank. 300 quid a bottle.... For a 1994 distillation... when the distillery was becoming a little tired. No way would I pay 300 quid "I love our club, absolutely love it". (Overton, M 2007) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best so far. Caithness in January..... best northern Scotland expedition to date "I love our club, absolutely love it".

Futtocks Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 They sampled some interesting whiskies on Channel 4's 'Sunday Brunch' today, including Octomore from Bruichladdich, which has been picking up world awards despite being only 5 years old. There are some interesting things and experiments going on in today's world of whisky! Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Tiny Tim Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Bottle of Ardbeg Uigeadail arrived earlier today. Will be opening later to give it a try. I can confirm that this is really very nice, it's a proper smoky, peaty, full bodied whisky. It's bottled at cask strength and a little water really releases lots of new flavours. I think I have a new favourite whisky and I'm about ready to give up on the non-Islay whiskies as they just seem to be lacking the kick you get from the Islay whiskies.

I thought it was quite bland.Have you tried the stuff ftom the lake district yet... that's not a bad dram and better than Penderyn in my opinion. I have to add my whisky sipping mate really likes both English offerings Edited February 8, 2016 by Robin Evans "I love our club, absolutely love it".
