Saturday  21st May,  

I hope you are all enjoying your favourite dram as you browse your favourite forum. 

Your good health  

Cheers Dave 

I'm currently drinking a bottle of 1988 Port Dundas Sovereign single-grain (not malt) whiskey. 154 bottles came out of that cask and when they're gone, they're gone because the distillery closed about twenty years ago.

I'll drink to that. Then again, I'll drink to anything.

I bought this bottle of Macallan Private Eye when my daughter was born - £40 then and she is now 18.



At the rate it is going up in price I may well have a second k1 :-)

I do dread that she (or my son find it)  and think it is just any old whisky and drink it with Coke !!

So back to the Laphroaig for me today. I did manage to visit this distillery (on a K of course) a few years ago.

I turned 50 this year, and with all the gift vouchers from the party I bought a lot of top shelf whiskey, Redbreast 21 & 15 year old, Yellow spot, Green spot, and a collection of other WHISKEYS.  

Don't like any of the whisky I've tasted much, but it's all been highland peated. May try some of the unpeated lowland stuff 

Currently working my way through a bottle of Jameson Black Barrell

Life's tough.

I am sooooo jealous of the Eccentrics being able get hold of Redbreast whiskEy as it is just about unobtainable down here. 

Alas my 75S and I were only able to visit the Glenfiddich and Glenturret distillerys back in '91. In those days the Glenmorangie distillery did not do visits.

If you don't already, I would have that insured for around £2,200 - £2,800 sterling.

WHAT!!! A Scot who's advocating NOT drinking a bottle of whisky!???
