Had a few glasses last night. Started off with the 10 year old Macallan then Lagavulin Distillers Edition and finished off with a 1987 Ardbeg that was extemely peated as expected but also a slighlty smokish sweetness. _________________ http://drunkindividualsshouldnotapply.blogspot.co.uk/ |

I'm thinking of coming up to Hull for the beer festival in October or whenever and sometimes go around York. Not sure of York bars for whisky though. I'm in Kettering so a bit of a train journey to get up North but Yorks not to bad. _________________ http://drunkindividualsshouldnotapply.blogspot.co.uk/ |

I can make York or Hull. York has great bars for real ale, but again i'm not sure of whisky places. I'm up for a pub crawl with a whisky thrown in when a good ones found in the pubs. Plenty of CAMRA members on this site can give us a pub guide to follow. Alan Canvess is the chairman of CAMRA for Hull so can always ask him on the beer section to post one out for Hull/York/Scarborough and surrounding area. I'll be at the beer festival in October but Scarborough and York are both nice places to bar hop. |

We had a few friends over and started off with an OB Cragganmore, Oban and finished off with a Ben Nevis 26 Year Old single cask. Very limited edition and extrememly well matured. I prefer the 10 year old as this had a slightly too woody feeling but still an exceptional whisky that everyone really enjoyed. Oban I think was well received and the Cragganmore came out top as i think it's a maly everyone knows but don't drink often. It really came across well and we all ended finishing the night with a 'wee deoch an dorus' of the Cragganmore. |

Bunnahabhain last night and a little red wine earlier in the evening. Bunnahabhain is really a lovely distinctive whisky that I wish was given as much prestiege as other whiskies. As has been said though there are so many whiskies to choose from nowadays that it takes people a long time to get back even to whiskies they enjoyed before. |
