    Re: Whiskey

    Rosebank is amazing, but pretty hard to find. I tried a Connoisseur's Choice (poss. 18 yo) and it's the only lowland whisky that's really impressed me. I've always felt they're a bit lacking (dare I...

    Will do, same to you!

    Not tried anything French yet, I've been concentrating on wine. Will keep an eye out for Eddu Gold - shame the distillery's in Brittany, as that's a bit far for a visit.

    I would've said you're better off with a supermarket own brand malt. There's a few good ones about. Glen Moray as Jon said is a bit thin and spirity. Not a bad whisky, but not far off if you get my...
