I hope I can find some of this, before the price shoots up too much just because of the award.
Where can apply for this job? He gets PAID to do this? <cries>
I don't trust this article. I'm going to have to get a bottle of each and see for myself.

The Old Pulteney is a very nice dram indeed. Not too petey. I'm thinking of getting a bottle for Christmas time. They have it for sale in my local Waitrose with a generous discount quite often.

Not as nice as my favourite Jura, mind, but lovely.

I'll have to try it, but I'm in college, so I buy the cheap stuff.

I much prefer the Irish brands such as Bushmills or Jamesons myself.

Bloody hell, why does this country have an ''embargo'' on good stuff :stare: I'll just have to drive to Scotland then and make a small detour trough Ireland ;)

An embargo on Scotch whiskey? oh I could never live there lol. Scotch is my thing, single malt only of course, none of that blend garbage.

Best wiskey I ever drank was in Ireland while working in Smethwicks brewery, it was called Paddy Powers Potcheen, my eeeye'ssss, my eeeyesss. :har:

Nah, we get scotch, but only the more commercial brands. Even if some are also good, the more rare, less known and far better are imposible to find

I'm not a big whisky drinker, but a friend poured me a Midleton that was very nice (and for someone who sticks more to wine, very smooth).

I'll check that out next time I'm in the city :salute:

You're going to drive from Scotland to Ireland? :o

Be sure to post pics. :D

jimbuna, i found the very blurry cell phone pic i took of the bottle, and it says "very rare" under the name. Was in a wooden box.

Put it up here mate and I'll certainly give it a try out :yep:

I'll make circles around and around the ferry deck :DL

We have Customs Officers to keep people like you in check :O:
