Sunset tonight from our deck, never seen such a stunner - it looks like the sky is on fire. We're so lucky in NZ with our beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

Think I'll go and have a single malt on the strength of that:laugh::laugh:

Awesome pics Blackbird.

Always get awesome light at sunset.

Might sample a tiny laphroaig or two myself now that you mention it.

There's a thread somewhere else about being gay.

That's a Glenmorangie sky, if ever I saw one. No ice, and just a dash of water.

A lefthanded ukelele player. Goodness me.

An 'early days' Marilyn Manson perhaps, check out the shifty eyes!

Nice!

A liking for County Ross aye.

18 or 25?

18 or 25?

The 25 is not commensurately better than the 18 based on cost. Indeed the Glenmorangie 12 takes a power of beating in a vertical tasting.

The only 25-year-old malt I have ever owned was a Campbelltown. I ended up a half-share owner with my brother after we got seriously liquored at a Malt Whisky Society do. As you do. $275. Ouch.

Your not wrong.

Getting licquored at a Malt Society Do will do that to your wallet everytime.

I tend to stick to the 10yr laphroaig or the 12yr glenfiddich, a bit eaiser on the wallet.

It is indeed and a 12 year old Glenmorangie was sipped appreciatively!

Ed - now see what you've done:shifty::shifty:

I was driving through a rocky and heavily forested area around Whakamaru about then, and there was a fantastic orange sky to the west, and a full half-circle shimmering ultrabright rainbow to the east with a bright orange center to it, along with the road signage fully lit up by my bright lights. It was one of those wow moments you wish you could shove down the lens of some camera but sadly it would be impossible. I'll just have to remember it.

Try the Glenfiddich 18. It's lovely, and not too expensive (comparatively).
