Parents got me this when they stayed in the Lakes earlier this year.
Not bad with a Pepsi Max - needs a bit of fresh lime though.

Had a Welsh whisky tonight, I must admit, it compares very well to your standard malt whiskeys.
Good man...give Kilchoman's 'Loch Gorm' a try.

I've got a bit of that left in a bottle. All of Islays exports are in my top 10.
Also try a Longrow gold label...I've got two unopened bottles sitting here on a rack to my left, staring at me. Peaty Campbeltown goodness that gives Islay a good run for its money but I can't touch these days, so I have to live vicariously through y'all.

I've had a sample tonight of my seven flavoured liqueurs to see which is ready for Christmas. The quince is looking good, but the damson is really heavenly. So, so nice, the Gods would be jealous. I also have to say, after drinking my blackberry vodka (which was absolutely delicious and highly recommended) and then pouring a bottle of brandy on the remains blackberries has turned out a treat, and it's only been six weeks. No added sugar either.

I thought I know a lot of whisky, but I've never heard of that one (its lovely to research though). Irish? On a tour of the main three Irish distilleries in the mid 90s, visiting me ma's birthplace en route, I tried a few. The triple distillation though, tends to make them a little smooth for my palate generally. I like a Scots that ruffles the back of my throat too, from only being double distilled ... but, like most things the US cheapskate, oversold, lazily, low quality single distilled whiskies can clear my drains.
Nah, Scottish...Like Kilkerran, (who has a 'heavily peated' version worth a gander; Longrow's a more refined dram IMHO) it's an offshoot of Springbank distillery.
Springbank/Campbeltown has been on a high within' scotch circles for a good while now because of their old school production methods and they have low production numbers so finding them can be spotty (especially here in the states) but Longrow and Kilkerran seem to be easier to come by.

Oh I'll just have to go and educate myself some more! Thanks for the suggestion.

Not a whisky drinker, but got back from Spain Sunday after a few days away and I’ve picked up a head cold, so on neat Jameson.
Had a hot toddy before so seemed natural to move onto a couple of drams before bed.
It’ll either clear my head a bit or I’ll wake up having pissed my kex on the sofa.

Lovely.
Haven't had a bottle of Springbank for a bit. One of my favourites.
Fifteen year old must have cost a few bob.
Not yet but I do like Whyte & McKay
