I know Islay quite well. Horrible bloody stuff that whisky drink is though.

Hmmm, cognac, yes. Agree with you about whisk(e)y. Horrible stuff, but I do like a drop of JD from time to time.Dave5N said:

Well spotted RT. Only had that since just before Christmas.
Was driving out of sutton Park today with it on as it happens. Haven't listened to it for months and months. Was slightly surreal being in a park in a monstrous queue of traffic with about ten billion pounds worth of bikes everywhere you looked.

Would be pleased to trade a bottle of Bowmore 12y/o for any malt at all.
Peaty? Islay malts are made from kippers past their sell by date.

Owt from Islay, though I've a preference for Caol Ila or Laphroaig.
Just got a bottle of Smokehead, which the rumour-mill seems to indicate is made by one of the existing Islay distilleries (but no-one's telling which!).
They make a big thing of peat, peat and more peat in their tasting notes, but I didn't find it quite as phenolic or astringent as the usual Islay fare. Nice dram though...

Started off with a taste for the Speyside Malts but migrated to the more complex Islay Malts with Ardbeg being my favourite.
Enjoy it Chuffy slowly its what its made for, I have had a few special bottles of Whisky and have always drunk them can't understand this buy and look at it mentality.
