A gentle Highland Park to open the pallette, washed down by an obliging Oban before upping the ante with Bruichladdich, challenging that with a 16 yr Lagavulin and topping off with a 25 yr Talisker. Take a wild fling with some amazing Connemara before coming back down with a philosophical Jura whilst running great adventures of yore through the minds eye:D
Sheer Poetry! Off out over Barden moor now and will be savouring thoughts every step of the way:)Quote:

Sounds like a wonderful ramble would never have thought of a little Jura to finish off. Might just tarry a whille at Bruichladdich.Quote:

As it was, when I got back to Barden tower I saw this dog-faced cow-looking winged beast jumping on me car :mad: So I decked the begger and told him to go practice his fiddle elsewhere.
Mind, I had taken some of Wheeze's Talisker to give me courage (nice one Wheeze, tasted great on the top of Simon's Seat. Hope you enjoyed reciprocal Craggmore...!)
That will just have been one of the locals.Quote:

[similar position but spookily I have a Caol Ila 55% in front of me Cask Strength and its getting to the end of the bottle--bugger!

I also have a small bottle of Caol Ila cask downstairs. I shall be strong willed this evening though, I think :rolleyes:
Best Malt Tour?
Chez Moley takes some beating!
Sounds good...when's the forumers tasting party? :D And is it on the way to Wheeze's ? Sounds like he's got a fair selection too.Quote:

...but back down to earth, gotta go to Sainsbury's tomorrow, down to last bottle here...you know I'm sure the stuff evaporates :eek:
Stick, there is a Malt Party. Unfortunately it also involves 2 days of running up and down mountains and an awfull lot of cycling :(
Worth it though.
Well, the first 2 bits (Malt party and 2 days of running up and down big hills) sound well good :) The cycling thing is a bit of challenge for me as I do believe most earnestly that I rate as one of the world's slowest bicycle users (I respect those that do far too much to use the term cyclist when refering to my efforts).:oQuote:

Stick old chap, check out the What Bike thread on the long distance challenge section. We will be combining exercise with food and drink again this summer with refreshments designed by Mole-U-Like Inc, Middle Bit of Wales Corp. Read and decide. Room for more players yet.
Erm, pretty bladderd on 10 yr Jura right now. Exceedingly mellow. Moley is my love-child. Toffer makes my thighs ache and JJ....well I cannot sleep for the sore distraction said maiden imbues.
Ah, now I know what you were doing up at that time of the night :)Quote:

Scotland somewhere. Try not to venture that far North, full of midges and men in skirts :eek:.
God knows how them heathens manage to produce something quite so wonderfull as whisky, but fair play to them, they do. So I try not to rock the boat too much, simply pay up, drink up and give thanks :D
My favourite was from Springbank distilery, beggared if I can remember the name now but it was on the lines of a Islay malt. Most unusual for the distilery in question. About 15 years ago I was going to invest in a full cask of it, almost had the money put aside but it never quite came off. Possibly just as well, the mind boggles at the potential carnage if I had posted on here " 100 bottles of cask strength malt whisky ... needs drinking, my place next Saturday!

bells whisky is blended from good single malts, so why mix? tamdu is the main part of bells. highland park is at the moment the most northerly distillery but there is a new distillery on the go in shetland (highland park is from kirkwall in orkney, and a v good place to visit!).Quote:

AJs dad drinks glenmourangie,, any good folks
Good lad Daz! Welcome to the Whisky side :cool:Quote:

For a tasting I'd recommend starting with the Glenmorangie, then a dram of Dalwhinnie (a bit more peaty taste), polishing off with a fine Laphroaig (Islay) or Talisker (Skye). And if you get the chance to interceded a Jura after the Dalwhinnie I think you'd then get quite a mix. :)
And let us know how you get on. Sounds like AJ's Dad could further your education nicely!
But please...do leave the Bells alone...
