Wellington malt whisky gargre evening

I'd be interested, I'm a non-malt drinker so I'll either bring some DB and hang out with WT or I might be talked into trying a few.

I also have a 7 seater car so if people are serious about getting there and back in one piece I could lay off the hard stuff and do a pickup/dropoff run to wgtn and back if the train times don't work out.

Hey hey sounds like we have a bit of a houli happening now!

I'm pretty sure I have a piper. My father in law is looking to drag his pipes out of the closet for the occasion.

I'm going to be alienated!

You bastids!!! you know I'm stuck in the (supposedly) frozen south Mainland and many a mile between us!!
If I lived closer I WOULD have been there with a collection of brews (single malt included) and would have upheld the dress standard by arriving exactly as described by WT but with the addition of a raggedy black fishermans knit jersey and beanie ( you would have to wonder why I was called "scumdog" at the freezer). Don't have an HQ but got an Anglia with primer, would that have fitted in??

Just tell me what to bring and I'll be there.

I've never had Haggis or Malt Whisky!

Me too - all of the above.... room for one more?

I won't be too much into the hard stuff though

and can provide transport to and fro if anyone needs it?

I think between me, CSL, WT and Dangerous in the double bed - that is pretty much full!

I was thinking spoons C, but if you want 69, who am I to complain\

For those who would like a fat cigar with their Whisky - let me know - as I plan a run to my man opposite Intercontinental - simple THE best tabacconist in Welly.

Is "Chivas Regal" any good, I won it in a raffle? I have also found in the cupboard a bottle of "Tamdhu" that talks of being a "Fine Single Malt" but sounds more Indian to me?

CelticNo6 - Now I understand why your FIL lives where he does.

Tamdhu (little dark hill in Gaelic). It's a speyside. It'll fit in well next to my Aberlour.

It's main claim to fame is its the principal single malt used in the Famous Grouse (a blended whisky).

Also they are the only distillery in Speyside to malt its own barley on the premises, so it could possibly be the only genuine speyside.

And as for my in-laws, I guess they like their privacy. Her_B4 and mangell6 you are both welcome.

Tamdhu is marvellous.

Chivas Regal is good for getting tar of plastic fairing panels. (I have "Strong Views" about blends)
