An early version of the stag do I went on a while back was a tour of distilleries but it got shot down because we thought it'd be a major hassle getting from one to the next - my friend probably had Islay in mind. It didn't happen though.Artoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846359529440273892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820665525852614768.post-46691609528428531772010-04-06T20:15:50.602+01:002010-04-06T20:15:50.602+01:00I love Whisky, but it doesn't like me more tha...I love Whisky, but it doesn't like me more than a couple of halfs and the red mist descends.<br /><br />Unlike Mondo I love the Island malts, Islay ones especially Laphroaig, the peatier the better.drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469084438125548989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820665525852614768.post-89620721147862929342010-04-06T18:32:52.667+01:002010-04-06T18:32:52.667+01:00If I'm drinking spirits then I'm probably ...If I'm drinking spirits then I'm probably in a state beyond the reach of resolutions.

It was a win win situation really, the cottage had a real fire and the worse the weather is outside the better it is to sit around a fire.Artoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846359529440273892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820665525852614768.post-52434038421227922852010-04-06T12:41:58.462+01:002010-04-06T12:41:58.462+01:00Ramsay's Haggis is good but Shug Black's i...Ramsay's Haggis is good but Shug Black's is even better ( from Lanark 6 miles up the road from Carluke and the town where I live). Kippers are the business but stink the house out for ages after cooking them.<br /><br />Hope the weather didn't bring you down too much.drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469084438125548989noreply@blogger.com
