Was just looking for a bottle to toast my new daughter, may have to give this a go. Was looking for a Japanese one to try as well. Are the tasting notes accurate Mark? I normally am not a huge fan of Glenmorangie but if it's a bit difference I will be tempted.

Give this a go stand on me its a surprise, in a good way.

And congrats on the girl, thats what lifes about.

Only £62.95; I'll take 10!

Yes but listen, you can spend 20 quid on a bottle of rubbish or you can savour a nice bottle of this, 1 ice cube, no more and thats you, sit back, type some rubbish on here, ignore the wife, sorted

To be fair that's not expensive for a good bottle.

I've never understood why people drink cheap whiskey, might as well go the whole hog and just buy paint stripper.

Exactly, even if 2 of you kill a good bottle one evening, you had a nice evening.

I thought you gave up booze for a few weeks?

Yea i did till today, but me and me brother couldnt resist a trip up to Milroys

Anyway the ice, yes my brother says its a big no no, but i do love 1 cube.

We also got a 25 year old Glen Ord and one of Milroys own bottled, very nice for the money those too.

I saw that before, but iv stopped reading those now.

I honestly just take pot luck, the man in my shop knows the sort of thing i like and he makes a couple suggestions, i like a bit of pot luck.

It's all pot luck really, word of mouth can only go so far.

I love laphroaig but others would hate it.

What is your preference in tastes?

I like something smoky, or with a reasonably strong hint of something else in with it.

Im no expert at all but i dont mind spending a few quid investigating these things

@Ahleckz - Hence my Canada Dry/Cream o' barley combo. Great for appetising multiple folks at a new year party or something.

@Mark - Nothing smokier/peatier (which actually tastes good) than a laphroaig, it is too intense for some though.

I shall give that a go next, im sure i have had it before, but it was a while ago.

It was.

I told him I tried Bells and didn't like it which invited a look of utter disgust.

Several single malts later ......

Ahhh Bells, when paint stripper fails......
