17 to 1. Time for a dram.

I am officially Number 1 on the Standby List.  So I have got the whisky out.  


Have one with me, will you?

  1. It's great to be number 1 isn't it Carl!? Tell you what - don't drink all that wonderful Balvenie now, save it and bring it on the Challenge to share with us as you walk east!!!

    1. It'll be gone by this weekend!

      Never fear - I'll bring another bottle on the challenge - decanted into a lightweight waterbottle, of course.

  2. Oooo, The Balvenie, don't mind if I do sir!! If we hadn't finished David's Cardhu at Christmas, I'd join you (I haven't bought my supplies for the Challenge yet, wouldn't last that long) I could just sniff the cork...

    1. Cardhu, haven't heard of that. Might give it a whirl.

      How was the sniff?

    2. A sniff always leads to disappointment... So you won't have heard of Tamdhu either then, that's my particular favourite. They're both Speyside malts, try this http://www.scotch-whisky.org.uk/swa/21.html
      As for Alan's Dallas Dhu, the distillery is just down the road from here, I regularly walk past and I've done 'the tour', interesting stuff and extremely expensive stuff as they stopped producing whisky in 1983. The warehouse is beginning to look quite bare. I bet it's all at Al's place. It's here if you're interested http://dallasdhu.com/ (that's the distillery, not Al's place!)
      As you can see, I rather like whisky, a rare breed for a woman and English to boot!

    3. Oo, I missed this reply. Yes - you are all topsy-turvy as far as lasses and geography are concerned. You should be drinking baileys with ice in Margate and you know it!

      I spotted some Cardhu at Glasgow Airport yesterday, and a nice looking Old Pulteney too. I had to hold back - mustn't replenish until stocks are diminished.

    1. Hadn't heard of that one either Alan, but I'm not going to give it a whirl - I have just seen the price!

  5. Any news?! (I was going to ask on the message board, but thought it might cause upset amongst some of the more sensitive folk...) :-)
