    OK!!!

    A good rum: Mount Gay, A west Indian brew.

    Whiskey: Lophraig single malt from Islay. Beautifully smooth with a peat smoke
    flavour that doesn't overpower the whole show.

    I Love the Islay malts.

    Favourite for many years has been - Lagavulin

    A fantastic drop to sip on the porch while listening to some great Aussie Blues.

    Agreed - I went to the Lark distillery there a few years back.
    It was very nice, i was *ahem* forced to sit through a tasting while the SWMBO looked after the baby in the background.
    A most pleasant tasting if i remember correctly.

    I would love to go back and try the Nant distillery. But until then - I guess i will soldier on

    My Father used to rave over a whiskey called 'Irish Mist'.

    Unfortunately I have never tasted it ... but according to Dad this was the one to beat all others hands down. He had a collection of Glenfiddich.

    I would not know where to buy it in Australia, probably only available in Ireland ...

    sigh ... Greg

    Barkeep! A Knockando here... and leave the cask.

    At first this post had me puzzled ... then I googled Knockando ...

    Knockando was the first distillery in Scotland to be built with electric lighting. In 1905 it was linked directly to the Great North of Scotland Railway, which connected Grantown-on-Spey with the main towns of north-east Scotland.
    Must be the only town in the world that needed a railway to the distillery ... HaaHaa

    So ... do you want one cask left, or 128 casks ?

    cool bananas ... Greg

    Dan Murphy stocks a great range of Whiskeys.

    If they don't have Irish mist chances are they will get it for you!

    Had friends over for dinner last night. Lloyd is a whisky drinker -with dry- and he bought
    a bottle of home brew whisky that he buys from a mate of his. Superior to my bottle of
    12yr old Ballantine's special reserve gold seal by a long way!!!

    The Ballantine's was 12yrs. old when bottled but is now actually about 42 years old as it was
    kept in its box in a cupboard unopened for 30 years!!!
