Whisky / Whiskey / Bourbon

Woodford Res. I might have to finish it now.

I'm half way though one of those that I got for Father's Day. Don't think mine will last that long though.

Anyone know where I might be able to get a hip flask and have it engraved before the end of the week? City?

Alternatively try H Samuel - http://www.hsamuel.co.uk/webstore/l/gifts/category%7Chip+flasks/#/webstore/l/gifts/category%7Chip+flasks/?Pg=2

Perhaps the shops can do it a bit faster

I know a few of you have done the Highlands tour by bike, now it's a thing over the pond. Pretty much just a promo vid for Kentucky, but looks like a decent ride all the same.

nice...forum trip? would...
2:02 ish - you can stick your finger in?!?

Went to Islay last weekend, had all the whisky and a bit of sea kayaking, would highly recommend, all free tastings and lovely place.

Part of the London cocktail week, it'd be rude to miss it.

AVOID !

Bottle of ardbeg uigeadail purchased, looking forward to it in this weather!

^^I always use antifreeze as a mixer in winter anyway, where's the issue?

Was in the bar at the Rosewood Hotel Monday night, a very impressive collection in their cabinets.

may I say the absolute dogs of Islay's for me - well, that and Lagavulin 16

^^ Oh my.

Currently drinking this:

Obviously needs a bit of water at 60.2% ABV, great flavour once you do though.

Unrelated note, anyone know where I could get a bottle of Van Winkle bourbon in London?

Amathus?

^This, join the queue though.

Jim Bean Red Stag is a lot nicer than I thought it would be.

Does that count as good then, or just not awful?

6.5/10 would get drunk on it again.

Sounds exactly like my experience with JD Honey.

had a dram of Ardbeg Corryvreckan last night - cask strength 57% - had to add a few ml of water which I don't normally as it was quite astringent, very vapour in nose, clean tasting......not very complex.....not as gutsy as the Uigeadail which I still find hard to beat really

paid £6.80 for it too....say what?!
