Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool. -

I suppose it will do until a decent malt comes along

Not my favorite, but it's a good one.“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

That looks like a good way to get me singing sad old country songs and fingerpicking the uke...
About two sips.
What? I don't drink much.

Re: A new favourite scotch
I used to buy that by the case. They do a different take on that called Caribbean Cask, finished in rum barrels, goes real good with a stiff Maduro.....Comment

Re: A new favourite scotch
I'm really stuck on the Islay whiskys, my favorite being Caol Ila. But this 10 year old Laphroaig is really close, and cheaper...

What is a poor retired working man to do when you guys post stuff like that?There is nothing quite as permanent as a good temporary repair.Comment

Re: A new favourite scotch
Aged in milk tanks. Sounds like a winner!
Actually, I think the Crown actively discouraged distilling of spirits in NZ because whisky from Scotland and whiskey from Ireland were such valuable exports to NZ and Australia. At the start of WWII some ships hauled frozen lamb and mutton to the UK and returned with automobiles, manufactured goods, and spirits.Comment

Re: A new favourite scotch
The Caol Ila is nice, but I took a Kilchoman for a a test drive this week, and now I'm conflicted.
I was tasked with getting our "disestablished" manager a farewell gift, after a whip around our department produced $250 - the Kilchoman 10th anniversary single malt fitted the budget. The nice people at http://www.whiskygalore.co.nz/ gave me a taster of one of their other slightly less "special" brews, and I have to say it was damn nice. It has a bit more body than the Caol Isla, a bit more peaty smoke, well worth a try if you can find it - they are just about the smallest Islay distillery on the planet, so who knows how much finds its way to the US.
