Ice cold, a bottle disappears very quickly

Coor.. Dalwhinnie.. What a line up there! I'm yet to try the Macallan Gold, although I do know they can't say how old it is, as they've ran out of aged stock. Chap in Whiskey Shop in Inverness told me mate that. (My mate then bought a bottle, but got it £8 cheaper from Morrisons haha)

The Dalwhinnie was EXCELLENT! and almost HALF price in ASDA - that promotion didnt last long as they sold out in a few days...

I'm not that keen on the MacAllen Gold, dont like the 'burnt' aftertaste but I do really enjoy the ordinary MacAllen.

Just got a 3 bottle minature JURA set from Amazon of all places!

Jura superstition is very interesting - but 'odd' so I wanted to buy some tasters before I took the plunge.

The jura I am a quarter down the bottle.
One of the lads at work had a bottle of Glenmorangie that was in his cupboard from an xmas present.
He wanted rid of it so I bought it for a tenner.
Tbh. I prefer the Glenmorangie to the jura , but only just.
But the collection is growing.

Cider is good, in fact I am taking the Falco to a cider festival next weekend and camping overnight. Farm brewed cider and lovely strong cheese, can't wait.
sounds excellent to me. particularly if its real cider using traditional cider apple varieties - a lot of cheap cider these days uses imported apple juice I believe. bland.
Most definitely real cider, from local cider farms
Panniers? Space in them? Anywhere near Bristol?
Roll top bag, might have space it's on just the other side of Bridgewater so ordinarily I'd be going down the A303

Found a local farmhouse making proper cider just on our doorstep so I bought a 20 litre taster pack last week, into the top box and home with it. Been awa at a uni re-union and goodwood since then so havent tried it yet.

Highland Park. Now I do like that. Costco have it at the moment for £20.. Payday on Thursday, so may have to take a wander down for a bottle. They also do Singleton for about the same price.

Never been able to sustain a collection, the bottles keep emptying as fast as I can buy or get given, them....

I often go for a good Irish Wiskey. The last one being a Jameson's Special reserve. I did have quite a few Laphroiag canisters kicking around in the garage though. (I know this because I tried making baffles for my BM's race exhausts out of them.)
