What are you drinking right now?

That looks like Bruichladdich rocks to me

I'm sipping from a full sized bottle but couldn't find the right pic of a '77.

And how is it?

You lucky bastard,if you lived round the corner from me i`d be banging on your door shouting let me in

Try some Bladnoch marmalade on your toast in the morning, Scotland's most southerly distillery.
Absolutely delightful

Just bought a nice bottle of The Balvenie Double Wood, that will last all of two nights.
Also just enquired about a rare ish bottle of Scapa.
Been thinking about that bottle of 1977 all day as well

I'm staying with the '77 Macallan, would be a shame to waste a drop.

Crabbie's alcy Ginger beer, with ice and a slice. Very refreshing and as I've just recovered from a virus, well earned. Next time with vodka.

I don`t doubt you for a moment, and would fully agree

Just a shame i can`t get my grubby mitts on it too

As a mine of abstemeious personal habits I never really bother reading this thread but I've just treated myself to a nice malt, something I do every couple of years when I've either drunk the last one, or it has evaporated.

We have a specialist Whisky shop in Skipton and I asked for something warm and rich but not too smoky/peaty. I like the Lowland malts as a rule, Bladnoch was the last I bought.

They picked out a bottling of Clynelish and I have to say it is the nicest whisky I've ever had. Really rich and complex but almost buttery smooth, a dash of water releases the nicest fragrance.

What a lovely nip. Should last me another few years....

Bruce

More details please Bruce.

I cannot recall the exact bottling, I shall report back.

Our house is so cold it had gone cloudy last night!

Clynelish can only be found in specialist shops and as bruce said it is absolutely loveley.
Generally it is a very pale straw colour but i think they also produce a sherry cask bottling.
Instead of adding water try putting in a ice cube made with spring water to a large glass swill around and enjoy

P.S forgot to add can be expensive as well

£35 seems OK for the amount I drink!

I have paid £50+ for a bottle in the past but that was from an independent bottler such as Cadenhead

From normal hifi to Naim,
from drinking coffee to espresso,
i guess i made my point.....

Here is the bottle.

£31 in fact. Bargain.
