Best whisky (or similar) for a cyclist?

[Tin Pot]

I was gifted Makers Mark - very nice, but then I’m not a Whisky guy.

iirc Glenmorangie once made a bike out of old cask staves.

If presenting him a bottle of Glenmorangie, make sure you pronounce it properly!

Ooh, are there hidden subtleties to the pronunciation? I thought a fairly standard attempt worked fine and had nothing of the dangers of thinking Kirkudbright sounded like it looks.

Emphasis on the second syllable. On the “mor” rather than the “ran"

Rhymes with “Orangey...”

"Glenturret, Glen Scotia and last week Glen Fyne
Was rare at communion when we ran out of wine
Glenglassoch, Glen Lossie, Glendullan Glenmorangie
I prefer them to Cointreau which I find too orangey."

Bugrit! Out of a choice of 2 I linked to the wrong one..... This should be the one: https://www.tiso.com/alpn-endu-1109...n54FSpodYfM9Iq92xikgH0vLk2qohZVgaAhdbEALw_wcB

They'er both wrong, because it was the ebay one

I was once given this wine glass as a thank you:

The design was almost certainly a stock image, but the inscription was specified. I think you can see where I'm going with this.

A bit of searching led me here. If someone did this for me I'd feel deeply honoured:

When you add up the costs, including the logo and the gift box, it's likley to cost more than any of the distinguished malts which have been mentioned so far. A bit longer lasting though.

Same with Highland Park . Sooooo many variations .
