Aye, my frau has just visited Glenfarclas with the group she's guiding and they got to taste the family product. I'm not familiar with it but apparently it's good.
Now, there's work for you... |

 Very true. Honest notes and i guess they must be someone's taste. Maybe Ledaig should add a similar description - Fairy liquid with notes of Mr. Sheen?
On a better note, these could be instant ... |

Had one or two below standard SMWS drams recently.
One was the 'whisky flavoured condoms and skunk road kill'. Description was apt! Interesting dram, think it was an Ardmore.

The Bruichladdich 16yo Bordea ... |

Picked up one of Ian Macleod's AWGT - the 8yo Islay at cask strength. Any ideas where it's from exactly? I'd guess Lagavullin but am interested in others' thoughts.
Cheers. Tapadh leibh. |

Ardbeg Airigh nam Beist is awesome.
Inchgower in the Flora and Fauna range is good if you like a salty malt.

Agree re. Aberlour A' Bunadh - fantastic and good value for w ... |
