Velociraptor Nov 2018 10:24pm, 22 Nov 2018 39,704 posts	0 Velociraptor We usually have some Penderyn to hand, and a TCP-flavoured Scotch which eL Bee! knows he won't have to share with me. At the moment we've got some 10-year-old Bushmills which we bought when we were there on holiday. I'd like to be able to recommend the output of the Lakes Distillery since it's very close to where I live, but I can't. The blends are lacklustre and not worth the price tag, and I'll never be able to recommend the single malts because if I've got £223 and some pennies to spend I won't be gambling it on a bottle of gimmicky whisky. Their bistro does good coffee and cake, though.
Groundhog Nov 2018 11:49pm, 22 Nov 2018 31 posts	0 Groundhog For several years I drank at about a measure a month a bottle of Port Ellen. I got this as a 10 year old cask strength (55%abv?) unfiltered offering from a Cadenhead shop in Edinburgh on my one and only visit there. Beautiful smoky rich flavour. You had to add water to get it back to a drinkable strength and as you drank it, it turned a milky amber. Port Ellen hasn't been distilling for quite some time I think, so it would be extremely rare and old by now.
Groundhog Nov 2018 11:54pm, 22 Nov 2018 32 posts	0 Groundhog I have both a bottle of Talisker Skye and Talisker Port Ruighe in the go just now. Both are getting on the low side. I thought they would be very similar but they are different enough. Age and complexity, there's more going on with the Port Ruighe that suits holding on to a sip.

Nellers Nov 2018 6:53pm, 27 Nov 2018 33,446 posts	0 Nellers That should be a link to a Dan Snow podcast about Scotch Whisky distilling. Might be of interest. Its only about 15 minutes long.
Groundhog Nov 2018 12:01pm, 30 Nov 2018 49 posts	0 Groundhog On my Christmas list for this year - Bunnahabhain. Nobody else in our family drinks whisky and in fact neither does anyone who is coming to visit. Perfect I can sit in a corner and "Bah Humbug" at people.
