Sounds like fun.

I'm just in the process of buying a fruit shredder and press to start making cider though so that'll be it for me for the time being.

We will also lay on the first 2 ambulances as part of our LAN entertainment promise

Thread brought back to life to report this excellent deal ...

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/laphroaig-whisky-quarter-cask-70cl-25-00-asda-2386021

One of my favourite whiskies at a brilliant price. Personally, I ordered from Amazon using Prime. Not currently in stock but they will honour the price and dispatch as soon as it is.

A very strong (48 % Vol) smoky/peaty single malt so not to everyone's taste.

Laphroaig Quarter Cask. Nice. I find that it is like the 10, but with a bit more in every way :-)

Just finished a bottle of some sherry barrel whiskey (excellent BTW), this looks a good deal - cheers OB.

Well, if it's highly rated by seasoned whiskey drinkers here it can't be that bad, and cheaper than a quality tipple from the super market so a punt of £25 on amazon prime sounds like a good deal!

Also ordered :)

How lovely.

I look forward having some of it at the LAN. It'll be a nice accompaniment to a Distillers Edition I have lined up.

For Oldie and Pen, a little reminder to where all roads lead to ........:D

The first bottle on the right (nearest to Oldie, suprisingly) was the best whisky I've tasted in my life, and that's saying something:dribble:

Was that the ridiculously expensive bottle that one of the BIG guys brought down?

I remember me and Target fighting over the Lagavulin ... gorgeous stuff.

I shall be bringing one of these.

And, just a heads-up that this evening in sanctioned by the hotel. The guidelines surrounding bringing in your own drink are still very much in effect.

I think so. I can vaguely recall being told that it was bottled from a 'private' barrel.
The Lagavulin was very 'peaty' IIRC.
Happy days!!

The writing on the side indicates "single cask". You can get that sort of thing through being a member (or knowing a member) of the Scotch malt whisky society https://www.smws.com ...not sure where else you'd find it? I've been to their London members club once or twice as a guest, never got round to joining though! Worth a trip if you can get an invite or go on an open day :flirty:
