A few mates and I - usually around 6-8 of us - get together roughly every other month, at someone's house. Usually, we each take a different bottle and just share them around. Usually a couple of us take along one or more of the guide books - Michael Jackson, etc for some hints, but it's really an excuse to catch up, drink whisky and listen to some blues music, as we also all happen to be fans..... data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I noticed the Haig Club in Tesco and then saw the ad - clearly a large chunk of the cost is going to pay Mr. Beckham's fee.......
Funnily enough, I did a Gin Club version of this with a few friends.One of the group moved away and we haven't done one for a while...Think I'll arrange another one..
I'm think that the problem will be that Michael Jackson will only recommend something under 12 years old?

I got a bottle of Talisker Storm when it was on offer recently; can't say I was impressed really, I found it a bit.. well, violent and unrefined I guess. It's not the peat (I really like Caol Ila for example), it's just not right for my taste buds.
I picked up a bottle of Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or a while ago - wouldn't say it's spectacular, but it's a nice, gentle dram.
I could go on for a while here, better stop and not get carried away.

Collection? The last bottle in our house lasted me two days!
I've got a nice bottle of Edradour cask-strength that I picked up on a distillery tour stashed away - opened, but kept for special occasions.Just killed a bottle of the Talisker Dark Storm (slight variant from the usual Storm) which I enjoyed, but nothing else in just now - that'll change over the next week or so.
12 yr old Glenlivet is £33.00 in Waitrose, but only £20.00 in Tesco.....seems like very good value
That's not a liquor cabinet, its either a museum or pr0n shop for whisky fans.
Have you opened that Glenfarclas 40y-o??????
If not, can I come round when you do??????
Their 10-y-o is exquisite, so Gold only knows what that's like!! //static.avforums.com/styles/avf/smilies/clap.gif
