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. -
Does anyone know this:
Pressie, just wondering whether it's decent… Max Power?.. Geo?..
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...

@Geo:
Could I interest you in a rare 25yo Ben Nevis - single cask - cask strength Flo?
Wow, generally I'm not the biggest Fan of Ben Nevis, but have you got details? I assume it's an independent bottling?

Don't have the original box - I think there was about 400 bottles made in total
Pm me if you have an interest

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?

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.
