Single malts

[The binman chronicles]

Y'know, I actually didn't - the smell was so rich I wanted to give it a sip straight (and I do mean sip!).

It's delicious mate, lots of raisiny Christmas cake type stuff going on, cinnamon, toffee, bit of oak but with that typical whiff of sea salt that all bunna's tend to carry.

Really great scotch, it'll last me years as well, its a real depths of winter dram, and then only occasional.

You've sold me on it but the £110 price tag is a little off putting!

Perhaps I should just try the 12 year old cask strength at £80 instead. To be honest I can't see it getting any better than the standard 12 anyhow, even the 18 year old is (in my opinion) not as good.

It is steep, probably the most I've spentt on a malt, but I figured I'll get a good few years to enjoy it, so if you look at that way, it's almost a steal!

I'd drink it in a week. I can't help it. If I have it (whisky) in the house, I drink it.

My wife bought me a bottle of Glenmorangie for Valentine's Day and I told her off. I'd just about gotten through my Christmas whiskies and all of a sudden I've got another bottle to get through. I think she's trying to see me off.

I was at a mate’s 65th birthday do Saturday night, as well as food he’d arranged a tasting of 12 single malts. Fortunately they were only wee drams given out so I wasn’t too bad next day . They were mainly Speyside whiskies , the odd Isla and Glenmorangie as well , we had some interesting discussions, good fun but coming too thick and fast to appreciate the differences.!

Master Of Malt's was even less subtle:

"Er, no thanks."

I picked this up in Belfast, couple years back now, almost as a souvenir.





And damn if the nectar don't match the impressive bottle. It's really nice this, an easy drinker in the vein of a good, reasonably priced Speyside. Not super complex or owt, but a definite big step up from Jameson's, Tullamore etc.

So for chrimbo I treated myself to a new everyday glass (after dropping my old one), and it was actually far more swanky than I expected when it turned up

Made up with it I am, came with a lovely jigger and 3 gel filled whisky stones, very handy. Christened it with a classic

I thought a small celebration of Moyes first win, and 3 goals, was appropriate.

My sister got me this for Christmas. Never heard of it before, but I can testify it's lovely and smooth, very drinkable.

Loch Lomond 10 year old is indeed a fine whisky , I’m half way through my bottle!. My youngest son got married on the Bonny Bonny banks last July, not far from the distillery, and we tried a few of the 18 year old , it was very very good . It’s got its own place , for me not a Highland or a Lowland whisky , although some would classify it as a Highland .
