We make allowances for "christmas spirit"! ;-)

Ooh, you give malt allowances?

Depends on your preference. We currently have Linkwood,
Aberlour, Bowmore, Laphroaig, and chill-filtered Highland Park.
There might even be some Bruichladdich or Bunnahabhain
hiding in a corner somewhere...

If your taste is for Glenmorangie, or Glenfiddich, you won't
find it at this address. ;-)
I can't afford a decent malt these days, but when I could, it was
Glenfarclas. Of those you mention, I only know Laphroaig.

Bowmore, Bruichladdich, Bunnahabhain, and Laphroaig are
all Islay malts. From Speyside comes Aberlour and (since it's
made in Elgin) I suppose Linkwood is also technically "Speyside",
but I wouldn't argue about it. Highland Park comes from Orkney.

I was 'taught' to drink whisky one night, passing through, in Glasgow.
An hotel bar.....the longest I've ever seen with more optics than I could
count!

I shop for our "supplies" in Fife. There's a wee shop in Cupar,
with an amazing selection. I'll see what they have, that might
suit you, next week. I'm owe you a favour, after all! The parcel
arrived safely, and in time for the "grand opening"! ;-)

And don't forget the wonderful Lagavulin ... also from Islay. As am I
.... and am afraid to confess in public that I prefer Orkney's produce.
Oh the shame! I daren't tell my mother :-))

Ochone! The shame... ;-0

I must admit that Bill is the whisky drinker. I can't drink it without
wanting
to take on the world. No doubt it was that characteristic which made the
highlanders sic bonnie fechters? He prefers the Islay whiskies which
start with a "B", but wouldn't refuse Lagavulin if offered. He finds
Laphroaig
a little on the "peaty" side, though... Definitely an acquired taste!

Ochone, ochone indeed!

But I also agree with Bill on Laphraoig. It's a very chewy beast but
the taste is worth acquiring (normally at no little cost).

Well am spiritless atm, but got my Xmas bonus today, so may well be
remedied tomorrow..........come on over

Are there other companies that pay christmas bonuses? I thought
I was the only one left... ;-)
Beleive me, I was surprised given the current financial climate. Firm has
been struggling. Our 3 directors are decent people, and happily muck in on
the factory floor to get a job out on time.

Anyone who can afford single malts in
these straightened financial times is
doing OK.

No .... the vocational call for missionary work among the primitive
savages of the south proved too strong to resist. But I go back as often
as possible.

I can afford them, because I don't drink them.

You use them as ornaments, then? ;-)

I don't drink them either, I just buy them!

I'm out of single malts, the last bottle of Highland Park must have been
finished by someone who could tell the difference.
