Ah, so it was Rosebank I had. Gorgeous stuff

And there's nothing nerdy about knowing your alcohol. It merely indicates that you're a distinguished connoisseur.

It definitely does not mean you're a ****head.

I thought Rosebank had reopened? I'm sure I had some of their stuff last Christmas

Yes have tried plenty! Currently have a Littlemill 21 yo on the go. Rosebank re-opening is still in the rumour stage. Both Rosebank and Littlemill are mothballed.

The other lowland distilleries are:-
Auchentoshan
Bladnoch
Glenkinchie
Inverleven
Kinclaith
St. Magdalene

Neither Littlemill nor Rosebank are all that expensive, possible to get bottles at under £40.

Am I sounding like a nerd yet?

Personally, I like to start a Burns Night off with a Lowland before closing with a fine Islay - can never usually remember the bit in the middle!!

Tesco's? Money off? Solera?? must dash........................................

Paddy. Best of the dailies from that distilleries production for a while now, and not dear either.

You can put JD in the toilet cleaner class too, I can't think of a worse advert for American Whisky, the Yanks make some good stuff, Makers Mark for instance, calling JD good Whisky is like saying Budweiser is beer.

Lol JD is cheap stuff that you mix with coke to get you ****ed slowly (or not at all depending), I drink it and Like it but wouldn't call it Whiskey if you know what I mean

.

Whiskey is whiskey when every time you unscrew the cap on the bottle your eyebrows start to fall out

What do you guys drink your whisky out of? I was thinking of getting something a bit more refined than the tesco value tumblers.

Saw These and wondered if anyone else uses them. I dont want to use cut crystal as I'm no-where near old enough too and cant see and plain crystal tumblers I like.

Those look great, no stem to break off....currently I've got some tumblers but I do have one tulip glass remaining - you can get them from a some of the whisky websites...

This sounds so interesting.

Have to see if Cameron Bridge do tours.

What kind of tulip glasses do you have Stingo and what do you think of them? I collect Riedel wine glasses and they do some whisky glasses too but they're pretty dear.
