Merry Christmas all

Merry Christmas everyone, hope everyone is having a nice holiday and enjoying family, friends or quiet time yourself. And I hope people are getting rain if they need it. Good to be able to talk to folks down under in Australia since I don't get as much a chance to do that these days.

We got snow here several times along with a few weeks of cold, but this week strangely it's warmed up to about 5C and is supposed to be that way for a week or so. We still have snow on the ground but probably a lot of it will disappear this week, which is probably fine as maybe I can get out and do some shooting. Planning on having a quiet Christmas here, making fried chicken tomorrow for dinner.

i came here today to wish every one a good Chistmas bigrich i have not seen singleton sold her i have been wanting to try it.

Well i havent tried the specific label that BigRich has, but ive tried a couple of the others, & im not much of a fan to tell the truth...
I think they rate in the 'good mixer' stakes myself...

But then, im a Speyside Man through & through--after all, if you're going to drink mothers milk, you may as well suck the teit of a good mother.. ...not a huge fan of the Highland malts but will drink them...& i cant stomach the Islay malts--still got a couple of bottles of Bowmore, a Laphroig & a full uncracked bottle of the trusty ol' head exploding Lagavulin thats waiting for a day where i feel like going skydiving with a dodgey packed parachute...
Next bottle of Ardbeg i get iim saving for a driving trip up to Queensland...i rekon it'll deliver incredible miles to the gallon, as its not too far off what i imagine deisel would taste like...!!!...

It was hard to find a bad Speyside Malt...that is until the taste masters at Glenlivet dunked their tongue in a glass of boiling hydrochloric acid before they decided to release their latest bottle of cats piss...

[bigrich]

there's not many highland distillerys left stix , try glenmorangie , "the original" . smooth as . it's almost like liquor compared to other scotchs . about 10 years ago i tried a batch of glenfiddich that was done by a "malt master" , limited batch , signed by the malt master . it was 15 years old , aged in sherry casks and was the best scotch i've ever tried . i like the speyside blends too stix , i;ve tried the island peat blends , not really to my tastes . i got a bottle of jameson's irish whiskey that was special limited or something years ago . i don't remember much about that night . haven't seen another bottle like that since



oh ,yes. merry xmas

[bigrich]

i came here today to wish every one a good Chistmas bigrich i have not seen singleton sold her i have been wanting to try it.

i've never tried singleton before either . this bottle was a signed malt master batch , that was in a discount bin at my local bottl'o for $50

bloody glad i bought it , it's one of the best i've ever had

[bigrich]

hey stix, i just checked the back of that singleton bottle , she's a speyside scotch wee laddie , hoots toots , och aye .

dinn-ah tell yer she's a wee ripper

[Stix]

Ah BigRich...lets make a point of never getting together mate...if we do, the coroner might be left with the conclusion it was 'a double suicide by malt'...

Ok..seriously...yes mate ive tried all the GM's...if you think the original is smooth, you should try the Port & Sherry cask aged ones...they are pretty good for their price point (or atleas they were when i tried them years ago when they were first released)...

If you want a smooth Whisky...you should try one of my favourites...

But make sure its chilled...!!--just remember...room temp in Scotland is what we have our fridges set to here...!!
A couple of sips of that one & you'll forget about sex mate...!!...

And on the Singleton num,ber--i thought it was a Speyside malt--i have a couple of empty bottles somewhere (thats why i bought them), but i googled the label you posted & it came up with a Highland Malt...
At that point i wondered if it was one of those "manufactured Labels" that the big supoermarkets bring in as their own product with their own crappy named made up label...

I have a couple of books on Scotch distilaries & their best known malts, but cant locate them ATM...when i come accross the good one, ill look up this Singleton drop & see if its a real one...
Does it list a distilarry on the label, or just a "bottled in Aust for...bla bla..."...

I did first see that singleton malt overseas on the way back from Portugal, well before it made its way here, & back in the days i had some small amounts of spare cash...but i didnt buy it--glad i didnt too...!!i got a couple of malts id not heard of before from smaller lesser known distilleries, that were absolutely amazing...they wernt any of this globally marketed rubbish, just true authentic old sckool malts from smaller vats that were hard to not smash in a single sitting they were so nice...

From memory, Glen Elgin (or something like that) was one of them...the bottle cost me SFA, & i expected it to be rubbish, which probably helped in it turning out to be one of the most enjoyable drops ive ever had...!!

Just googled it & it came up--obviously bought into Aust now--but it was unheard of (id never seen it on any shelf here) when i bought it in Portugal...!!!
Here tis...!!!

Bloody pricy...!!!...rekon i payed $15 for it--wish id bought a case of it now...!!!...but you never know what any given bottle is going to be like eh...!!??...& i guess thats part of the mystery, & the joy of the experience...

Hopefully one day ill get to see a Qld thunderstorm rolling in while sipping mothers milk...

OK...as my incredibly wonderful, & deeply missed Scotch Grandparemts used to say..."Cheerio"...
