Really great style, reminds me a lot of the little comics like the Beano I used to read as a kid. The tree's got a great 70s book illustration feel to it too.

I'm not really making myself understood, but HEY! Morning all.

# *cuddles you with love*
Glenmorangie is generic rubbish though.

I would recommend:
- Laphroaig
- Ardbeg
- Aberfeldy (mostly because my mate's dad used to make it)
- Aberlour ... all the aberlour are good, but if you want a special treat (births deaths and marriages) have a wee nip of a'bunadh (this is the BEST whisky I've ever had)

a'bunadh... it's not chill filtered, so it goes cloudy thwn you add ice or water, it tastes like how I always imagined whisky should taste when my Grandad used to tell me about it when I was a kid.

Fiddich is also good. I don't know, I don't drink often so I've never really got into it in a big way. I know I don't like blended whiskies as they taste like soap (or at least, the ones I've had).


I have noted these names. I'm going to buy a couple of decent bottles soon for safekeeping out of my reach. Save them for when little Captains start arriving.

Also: I've decided the next person I drink it with shall be a bonafide Scotperson, so I can do it properly. And blame him if I drink the wrong one.
