Scotch whisky protected against 'inferior' copies
Simon:
I can see that trying to find the one whiskey you like, could be a very expensive persuit!
Clive:
There are some single malts I enjoy Sandra, one of which is called Scapa. I managed to buy a bottle when I visited Orkney in 2007 but that no longer seems to be available either. :dunno: LINK
Rik:
Try The McAllan 18-year old. :)
Sandra:
The alternative on that page Clive, is the one I mentioned earlier that I now drink, Highland Park. Its available in supermarkets at around £25 to £30 depending on whther theres an offer on or not. As theyre both from Orkney then I presume theyd be similar styles.
I was lucky enough to have a friend who took voluntary redundancy from his job when I was about 25 years old and he took over a pub in a nearby town Simon. One afternoon I went to visit him just before closing time one afternoon. Hed just been to a brewery exhibition and had bought about 25 different bottles of whisky. When the pub shut and the customers had left we started at one end of his whisky shelf and had a taste of them all. I narrowed my selection down to about 6 favourites and resampled those a few times until I finally decided that the 12 year old Inchgower was my favourite.
I wasnt really in any fit state to drive as even though we had only had a small sample of each I must have had at least a third of a bottle of whisky in total :o
That was the one and only time I have driven when I was definately over the limit, apart from the day that I passed my driving test :o:
I got into my E Type and set off home along the backroads. The first time I had to do a right turn onto another road I mounted the kerb and almost hit a lampost. Being a lot younger, drunk and not as wise as I am now, I carried on driving very slowly until I got home with no further incidents :(
Simon:
You were very lucky, Sandra, as were other road users in the vicinity!
