It's cask stregnth, usually around 127 proof, but goes down smoooooooooth. Imbibe neat, adding anything to it should be a felony.

I bought my Dad a bottle of that a while back for his birthday I think. We tried to drink it neat but was just too potent for us. A splash of water not only made it more enjoyable but it lasted longer too.

Yes, from England, and I enjoy the wines I can get hold of at the supermarket. Anything from Chile or Argentina is generally good. Bulgaria, South Africa, and the more up market Australian wines. Closer to home, Spain and Italy. French wines can be OK, but are often either overrated or overpriced. A price of £7/bottle and up gets you out of the plonk/gutrot bracket and into quality. I've tried some of those wines that retail at £15, but feel they're not worth the money. I'm afraid I'm not into the league of 1947 Chateau Petrus, or 1945 Chateau Lafite Baron Rothschild...

Wow, I had the same thoughts about Bowmore the first time I tried it. I'll have to revisit the island. Maybe for Father's day

Picked up a bottle of Aberlour 10 year over the weekend. It's good, not as good as the 15 year old but still very good.

I finally found a bottle tonight - at Oddbins in Henley-on-Thames. 14 yr old, saw the price - eek! Bought it anyway. It's a very good whisky - has the peat flavour of those NW Scotland whiskies, without the fieriness of Laphroaig aircraft fuel. I think Mr. Toad would like this.
