Spirits

As predicted, it's whisky for me.
I'm nae as passionate a consumer as I once was, but if I go down the spirits route, this is the path I choose.
Highland Park is an old favourite, but I'm tending towards Speyside more this weather, Cardhu is affa fine.
Big fan of Irish whiskey also.

I'm a whisky-drinker too. Can't see far past Balvenie but there isn't too much I don't like (though a standard Ardbeg would be quite a long way down the "getting-quite-thirsty-now" list).

Also quite like the irish whiskey, it's a lot more watered-down tasting but a fair bit easier drinking when you just need a cooking whisky, it's a delivery mechanism after all. (Last time I was in NI I picked up some Bushmills but was shaking my head with a wry smile at the hoards pouring off buses excitedly in the car-park, it's not all that. All about the marketing I suppose).

Quite like a darker rum, like Diplomatico or Plantation too.

Ardbeg Corryvreckan is the smokiest whisky around I think but it's actually nice and sweet too.
