Bravo
I might have said – where's the photo of said prize opened and all?
but have to agree, that's an impressive word-picture of a taste experience!

Ok then, to add something different: I really enjoy The Balvenie, The Macallan, and Highland…

Quite. But by the same token, I need to temper my anti-Laphroaig jihad sometimes. Just looks rude. Sorry folks.

We're going to have to differ on that. It just sounds elephantine to me.

No! Pig's Nose is soft, but it's nowhere near the Adelphi Private Stock blend for quality and costs $20 more.

Lagavulin was developed as a rip-off of Laphroaig, but is in fact smoother (and frequently cheaper) and probably easier to take as a beginner?

Supposedly, in the 19th century, Lagavulin’s distiller sought to copy the Laphroiag…

If you like celebrity endorsements, manly men Ron Swanson and Jack Donaghy both drink Lagavulin which I'm quite partial to.

Can second the Oban too. And I've had a couple of nice Auchentoshans.

Need new sponsors for a prize no doubt!

Also for the whisky neophyte – The Singleton from Glen Ord is a smooth wee drop, and Oak aged Glenfiddich offers…

Even though I still don't really know what it is.

But that was the easy part, now we need to vote on how to say this word.

Day-ta? Dar-ta? Datter? Depending on your choice of TV viewing, you can hear any of these.

PA needs to sort…

*this is not a euphemism!

Add on Adelphi's excellent Private Stock blend for $45 and you've got quite a lot of good whisky for your $34 top-up.
