Really? Along with Fireball and at just over the equivalent of 10 pounds a litre that's the favourite tipple of just about every homeless person around here.Quote:

I like a nice single malt also - either a speyside or a nice islay, I currently have a nice 25 year old Glenfarclas.
Full bodied and smooth and warming which a long finish with notes of fruitiness and oakyness. :P:rolleyes:
CAM, I will find out the shipping cost so you can send me a couple of crates.Quote:

A quick google suggests the very lowest price for an ordinary 0.75l bottle of 10 year Laphroaig would be around $36 (£26.50)
Oh, if it's Christmas fruits and spices you want...White Lightning.Quote:

I had a very nice Wycwood Brewery "Bah Humbug" last night.
Incidentally, I noticed someone mention "Mighty Millers" and I'm a big fan of Chantry Brewery myself anybody know if they do a Christmas ale?
I've not been over to Rotherham for a while.
The four points of Belgian Blue went down the neck quite well the other week !!!!Quote:

If it has to be Whisky then Monkeys Shoulder is acceptable.
