Anyone a fan? A bit into the single malts and just spent a week on Islay in Scotland. Some nice walks (to and from distilleries!).

We went to 6, Ardbeg, Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Bowmore, Kilchoman, and Bruichladdich.

Anyone got a favourite dram?

If its got a percentage on the bottle it'll do me.

Went to Gdansk couple of months ago and got off me tits on some proper good vodka. The strip clubs were proper scary. Stay away from the big red mushyrooms.

That about sums up my jolly holiday.

So whisky you say?

Currently working my way through a bottle Kilchoman - very, very, nice. Will certainly get another.

Also got a bottle of Talisker on the go (only distillery on Skye I think?) and some very potent local stuff from Tasmania for 'special occasions' (Nant - 83% and expensive!! Company recently went out of business after a major financial scandal, but other Tasmanian single malts getting a lot of international plaudits these days)

Some of my favourite whiskies come out of the Tobermory Distillery on the Isle of Mull. Especially fond of their Ledaig, a bottle of which is, for me, an essential companion to every cold, damp Melbourne winter. Very peaty though - so not to everyone's taste.

If its got a percentage on the bottle over 5% it'll do me in.

The Kilchoman stuff is nice, but the Laphroaig and Bruichladdich ones really impressed. We ended up pretty well sozzled in Bruichladdich...accidentally of course.

If you like the peaty stuff the Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 2007 CC:01 is lovely stuff. Also discovered the Laphroaig PX cask (Pedro Ximenez Sherry cask) - bloody amazing stuff. Came back with a couple of bottles of each!

When the reserves start running low I'll get a bottle of Ledaig in! Any particular one?
