    Don't confuse Blended Scotch Whisky with a Single Malt.

    Blended is typically less than 20% Malt Whisky (of 3 years or more old) with the rest being Grain Spirit (as used to make Gin and Vodka etc) which was made a few days before it was bottled.
     

    That’s interesting, thank you.

  2. That’s got your attention.

    I usually keep a bottle in the house, just talking about blended rather than malt. I have noticed that most of the supermarkets stock Bells / Grouse and their own label. Does anyone ever see the older offerings I remember from the late 60’s /70’s, Long John, Haig, Black &  White etc.

    Cheers.

  3. I think the site of the cabinets is sometimes overlooked rather than thickness of steel and how good the locks are.

    If you can place it somewhere which wouldn’t allow a bar to be placed behind the cabinet. It 

    would slow things down. A farm not far from me had two prised off the wall and taken to be opened at leisure.

    All they left were the large holes in the wall, where the bolts had been.

     

  4. I am guessing if the gent concerned was shooting at a high level (Champion Skeet shooter). There would be a lot of practice sessions and many competitions along the way. But still a good package at the price.

    Hello, they do a set of Skeet barrels , Westley 78 on here put some photos up with his Baikal and 2 sets of barrels, marked as Skeet, Cylinder

    I have found the photos now from Westley 78. Thank you.

  6. I have been looking around for a s/s with open chokes with steel in mind and came across the above. The seller informs me it’s choked skeet & 1/4 and is original. I thought it was unusual for a Baikal to have such open chokes having owned one or two. I don’t see it as a skeet gun being s/s.

    Has anyone owned this particular model. From having a quick read I understand that identifying Baikal choke symbols, letters, figures might not be straightforward. Obviously I want to be safe. Thank you.

  7. Not perfect but good for its age. Still has that nice leather aroma and squeak.

    Needs a button and there are one or two areas where the lining and leather could do with sewing back together, please see photo of damage.

    I take a 44” in a sports jacket, I’ve just put this on over a winter shirt and thick cardigan and it’s a good fit. Pit to pit 21”.

    I always thought of trying to get someone to make it into a skeet vest for me. Rediscovered during house move.

    If you want more photos send me an email address, bank transfer only. Thanks.
