WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)
-
went to skye to get some fresh air into my lung
Portree for some fish 'n' chips (even Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall thinks this is the best plaice for them ::))
and then here at Carbost and Loch Snizort Beag (which is actually just an inlet for the Atlantic Ocean)
then Talisker Bay (which is not even remotely near to the distillery for those planning to visit)
sorry, no IH today - wearing my hill gear which is a bit more pyjama-like
-
Great pictures, Geo. Talisker 18 YO is one of my favorite whiskies ever. By seeing the distillery I knew you're at Skye, I didn't read properly.

@Geo:
wasn't it World Whisky of the Year at some not too distant point?
not sure, at least Jim Murray has a strong favor towards Ardbeg
But Talisker, Highland Park and Macallan are without a doubt the distilleries, most critics and manufacturers agree to be the "best". Are you much into whisky? If yes, let me see your collection, please! -
Love those Scotland pics Geo! I'm going to spend a week and a half over there in june, just going to drive around and admire the views. If you have any pointers (or any of you have) feel free to pm me, it's my first visit.
And Max, love the picture with the flowers! I love spring! I believe that flower is called Wood Anemone in english, here in Finland it's the tradition to pick those for your mom on mother's day.

i've tried a few but can happily live without it . . .

^what kind of scot are you? I hope you got a kilt at least! I can't imagine living happily without whisky
You should give the Balvenie 12 YO Double Wood a try, it is the perfect beginner's whisky.

Good french red wine (Gigondas, St Emilion, Cotes Roti…) is apparently almost medicinal i've been told (by numerous strawberry nosed french peasants no less, it MUST be true). Get that alcohol suckling belgian to send you a case or 2
Tug at his heart strings and i'm sure he'll fold
