;D
Unfortunately my bottle here has run dry! Just started a Bunnahabain (another Islay malt) - lightly peated, bit of a kick in the after taste!

Credit where credit is due, you have exceptional taste... Have a bottle of Highland Park on the go right now, from the worlds most northern distillery (Orkney)..Nice, you should have a go.

I'll be honest I always though Highland Park was a bit naff - only because it was the only malt my local Spar sold (I did Jameson's at £11.99 a bottle) - but it was only £13.99 a bottle.
My wife bought us bottle from Asda or Tescos (both have an excellant selection of malts I might add) - and it totally changed my perception - when she told me she paid £16.99! And it's a decent malt - though I usually cut that one with a few drops of water - something I like about the Islay's - they don't need to be cut and are drinkable straight from the bottle (via a crystal tumber - not from the bottle)

Big fan of Lagavulin too. smoother than I expected and doesn't need a drop of water or ice to bring it out. Know what you mean by Highland Park but have Bias as my Mum is Orcadian so grew up on it. I am really open minded when it comes to single malts as it is more of a passion that getting fucked up (mind you,like to do both!). I buy mine from a website as they seem to be more reliable that trying to get something you have read about from a local distributer who pulls your pants down on price. Have a look.. www.scotchwhisky.net/malt/index.htmWell used site so stock usually isn't a problem. |

Man - what a site!
No shit - about 16 years ago I used to go out with me Dad, to a pub that did the best real ales within walking distance from home (about 4 miles)! The place we found did 143 varieties (that was then) of Scottish Malts - and the pub was famous for it.
Site you've posted - takes me back "Tamnavulin, Glen Avon, Bladnoch"

Glad I could help! Where was that pub? I have a birthday coming round and my good lady has said we can have a weekend away of MY choice. 143 varieties in a weekend may be a bit far fetched for me to do but I am sure I have tried a lot of them already so I figure there would only be double figures.....

Stafford mate - next but one pub from the station!
But pub has changed hands a couple of times - and I stopped using it once real ale stopped. So not sure on the whisky status though. The local I use though has about 20 (but Taliskar's, Dalwhinnie, Balwhinnie, Glenmorangie [not that adertised on TV]) plus quality real ales. That's the Greyhound by Stafford Prison!

Sounds nice! At least they will catch the jailbreaks as the first thing they see on the out is a pub!! Off to bed, have a good one..
