Single malts

Has to be a 18yr Macallan for me, i do enjoy a wee dram of balvenie. Cant stand Laphraig, i dont particularly like any of the peaty ones. for general day to day i usyually always have a Glen Morangie in the cupboard (to give people that dont know out bout whiskey) I ask them if they want anything with their whiskey? if they say yes they get the cheap shet, if they look at me in horror then i know they will appreciate a more expensive tipple. As far as blends go (stands by for shooting) a dont mind Teachers. Oh i've tried the old pultiney from wick as well and agree it is rather nice.

Blimey, you must have money to burn! It's far from my favourite but it's far from bad whisky, too. Not particularly cheap, either.

I'd save the Teachers for someone who knows bugger all about whisky.
 

quite partial to a dram of Dawlwhinnie myself. Although i do like to visit the whiskey shop in Clitheroe and discover new gems.
 
by the whiskey lovers check out LFW.co.uk superb choice and they deliver. Slàinte

Interesting, this (for whisky lovers at least). Recently, when in Scotland, we went on the Glenmorangie distillery tour, and in the shop there they sell varieties that you can't get elsewhere, not even duty free. Anyway, aside from the different wood/cask/age types, they had this one called "Finealta". They say they found the Glenmorangie recipe for 1910, and basically followed it. Was nice, quite a bit different from the regular 10 year old, ever so slightly peated. Wasn't much more expenive than the La Santa either.

Not sure of the wider availability, but if you can get your hands on one it's definately worth it and for me, wasn't just a novelty item, it was interesting, different and very nice.

my favourite shop. Spend hours in there mooching about for malts and quality reds. (i know you shouldn't mix the grape and the grain but i can't help myself!!)

They also do eight pint 'take home' casks of real ale from the Bowland Brewery. If your having a family party they make a good talking point in the kitchen and are generally decent as beer goes. Makes a change from the usual crate of Fosters/Murphy's people usually have at such occasions.

As for mixing the grape and the grain, it's O.K as long as you keep hydrated, and avoid work for a fortnight.
