Does anyone know this:

Pressie, just wondering whether it's decent… Max Power?.. Geo?..

[Geo]

Nice pressie

Pronounced kal-eela (without reverting to phonetics)

I think the 12yo is generally considered the best of the range

Quite light for an Islay malt

Im not the biggest fan of whisky so maybe Flo can give you in depth

Cheers Geo!.. Aye not a whisky drinker meelf but no worries… I'll find time to drink it...

Where I can find cat's eye buttons?

I need one black 11-12mm dia, but the color is so unique (black, but when you look at it closely, it's very dark burgundy). These buttons are smooth except the cat's eye.

If I can't get right one, I need to change all, and then similar buttons to IH workshirt buttons are OK.
I can take a dozen or two if they are not costing an arm and a leg.

Hi Seul.

I love Caol ila, it's a realitvely mild islay whisky, peaty, but not too strong. A bit oily and waxy and a bit like the stuff the make gin out of, juniper?!) . i got three versions at home, that says it all. the 12 YO is the standard Version which is perfect for beginners, then there's also a cask strength, an 18 YO and an unpeated version. But you got a nice bottle there, enjoy it. Maybe add a drop of water and see how the peatsmoke starts to come up…

The finish is not as long as on a Arbeg, Lagavulin or the like and the body is medium - light.

I love to drink Coal Ila after a day at the sea or in winter to get warm. So not right now...

[Seul]

Thanks lad!.. How about that review ladies and gents!..

[injunjack]

nice rewiev indeed, but me thinks Max has a problem. He's got whisky in stock…. ??? That ain't right. They might evolve taste of glass if stored too long

I only got a problem with filling up my whisky cupboard fast enough

Speaking of the cupboard - actual state here, including my 3 Caol Ilas:

Could I interest you in a rare 25yo Ben Nevis - single cask - cask strength Flo?

[injunjack]

I must say that is one nice collection. I wish I could do the same, but my thirst always wins

Wow, generally I'm not the biggest Fan of Ben Nevis, but have you got details? I assume it's an independent bottling?

[Geo]

Not at home but here's a link

Don't have the original box - I think there was about 400 bottles made in total

Pm me if you have an interest

[Max Power]

That's a very interesting bottle! 1984 is my birthyear, and I like sherry matured whisky. But I fear I bought too much lately…must think about it, ok?

[Blackheart]

IJ, might be able to help you with the cat's eye buttons…I work close to a fabric store that caters to the
film industry and they have everything. Post a pic of the button if you can and I'll see what I can find.
