Some Malt for your gargre

[James Deuce]

No. It doesn't age in the bottle. The age is taken from how long it sits in Sherry, Port, Brandy, Madeira, or Sauterne casks.

It's cheaper because some distributor has over stocked on a luxury during a recession.

So it's not like sausages, for instance, in that what used to be $10 is now given away for free five years later?



I'll go back to my tea.

Bit of a deal on at "the Mill" brand bottlestores -

Laphroaig 10yr old 1000ml $56.95

That is not a misprint.

Apparently they are importing it themselves hence the dealness of it all.

Not sure if anyone outside of Welli can share in the good fortune though.. you guys down't mill?

Massive thread dredge!

The Mill have 700ml Laphroaig for $49.95 before 1 July
But not for those of you who live on the mainland.

Sorry

Remember to read the fine print:
2004 $59.95 for 1 litre
2009 $49.95 for 700 ml

Not saying it isn't a bargain... just that it's not cheaper than 5 years ago.

We were just drinking Laphroaig on Saturday night for a friend's birthday. The bar tender couldn't pronounce "Laphroaig" or "Islay." Poor thing got a bit of a ribbing.

Tosh. Ardbeg is the hairy-chested bovver boy of malts. Little sophistication but personality in spades. I love it. I guess its not to the taste of the girlies sipping their breakfast malts...

What do you prefer, Ardbeg over Laphroaig?

You misunderstand, Grasshopper. I find both excellent in their own special way. Choice of malt is a matter of mood, time and place. Anybody who drinks only one, or even a selection, is denying themselves one of the world's Great Pleasures -- to stand spellbound in front of one's whisky cupboard deciding which one to partake of. Bliss.

I made the mistake of thinking the dearest duty free piss is the best duty free piss. Got a bottle of glenmorangie asta which is op and too strong to sup on quietly.....(imho and that of my scottish conersir, conaso pisshead mate).
