Coffee.... while trying to decide, bed or go shopping now
Talisker 10.
Had a big (and free) dram of Muckle Flugga yesterday afternoon. It was very, very, smooth. A great dram on a dreich Monday afternoon. Not sure I'd buy a bottle of it (£31 or so) but it was good, for a blend.
It's a blend of 6 single malts, which are combined, casked, and then shipped up to Shetland to be 'overwintered' which apparently speeds up the maturation process. I thought, as did the guy who gave me the sample (a specialist alcohol shop owner) that that was ******** but oh well everything has to have their USP. I've done some reading, and it turns out there's quite a story behind the name.

It's actually quite nice - very fruity with a warming spicy after taste. Couldn't manage more than two of them though as it would just be too sickly.

Mmm, last year I got quite into Baileys around Christmas, but never thought about adding anything else to it bar ice! Will have to go and grab a bottle soon. That mint baileys is bogging though.

Only ever drank Baileys Original, and honestly just a wee shot of Bushmills (well for me it's Baileys & Bush) makes it perfect
Mum just came back from a jaunt around the lakes, Hawkshead Brewery Lakeland Lager.

Definitely not, in all honesty it took me to actually finish the bottle.
Managed 3/4 as it just tastes too sickly. Not one I'd recommend and I cant see me buying it again.
There are far too many of those ****** 'banter' beers going around nowadays. Why can't breweries just concentrate on the good stuff rather than try and create new types of beer that just don't appeal?
I'm going to a tasting held by Loch Fyne Ales tonight. I haven't drank much of their stuff, but that I have drank has been quite good but they all seem to lack body. Should be good anyway, they've got some rare stuff and some experimental brews. I'll take my camera, so maybe my Scottish 3 pointer will come from tonight!

Nice one - sounds like it'll be a good night. My OH and I spent some time in Inverrary earlier this year on the shores of Loch Fyne and I was fortunate enough to sample a few of their products. I'm sure you wont be disappointed and you'll have a great night.

Glen Marnoch 18 year old single malt, just can't quite exactly figure out which other tipple it's ripping off.
