London Best Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 By cooking whisky I meant the Famous Grouse blended. I havenโt tried this bottle of Dalwhinnie Winterโs Gold yet, but Iโm sure Iโve had some before and it was ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 London Best that is a lovely old rifle. I don't know for sure but I had access to one very similar back in the early 50s which i used to reduce the numbers of house sparrows in our farm yards, which would make ornithologists shudder today.ย Whisky is whisky in my view and my regular tipple is Morrisons Glen Stag own brand, very drinkable. Most expensive singles I do not like at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Sparrows: I have one diary from the early sixties which tells me that in that year with airguns I accounted for 837 of them! We are going to have to disagree about single malts!

Absolutely,ย I happily spend up to ยฃ25 and buy what's on offer, I've had the winter gold, Arbelour 10 &12 years, 12 is much nicer I think. Cant make out which Jura you've got,ย one I had was lovely the other ok.

I know which one you were referring too, all the laughing faces should have gave you a clue. I've tried it and it's better than the Glenlivet founders reserve. Think most of us whiskey drinker buy the ยฃ25.00 offer bottles. For Christmas time the Co-Op own Highland malt is superb, lots of dried fruit and very drinkable. Like liquid Christmas cake.

London Best Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 The Co-op malt sounds right up my street, taste wise. Unfortunately, I have a problem with buying anything from them. They are an anti-shooting organisation. A shoot of which I was a member once lost over a thousand acres of good shooting when the farmer sold out to the Co-op and they stopped the shooting immediately.ย I have purchased NOTHING from them since.
