Not be be outdone on the wine front:

I used to always go for Royal Lochnagar in my local in Southampton.
At home I tend to drink Famous Grouse.
Fairly fond of Lagavulin (probably misspelled that).

Talisker.
Laphroaig.
Not interested in any variety that doesn't smell of kippers.
Would rather have a cup of coffee than any of them.

Good Islays, really.
Not speyside stuff, however.

I like Laphroaig as well, but couldn't remember how to spell it. Have had Talisker also - not bad.
As for coffee preference - depends on situation.

I'll have to stick up for my 'Oirish' roots and go for Black Bush, Jamesons or Green Spot to be truly authentic

Not a big fan of whiskey - prefer Jack Daniels or Rebel Yell (I think it was called)

Laphroaig - taste inherited from my Scottish dad! But will drink anything once I've had a few, except for Southern Comfort after nasty experience when I was 18.

Favourite used to be Talisker. Having visited the distillery makes a difference as I can picture it every time I take a sip. However, I have a 16 year Lagavulin and that is absolute tops, although bottle is sadly running a bit low.

Once bought the father in law a 50-year Ardberg, which was good with a dash of water, but a bit too intense to be an every day favourite.

Occassionaly, if I fancy something with ice I will go Jack Daniels. Especially if I'm drinking it in the bath.

Tubs - I also had an unfortunate experience with SC when I was 18 - ended up in the back of a lorry and ruined the suit I was wearing. My father came and picked me up and was not amused....Oh well.

Gawd! almost forgot Johnnie walker Red! Most people think it's cheap and nasty, but I love it cos it's quite sweet.

Lavazza espresso should be deemed a performance enhancing drug... But it tastes goooooood!

euch - we went to the Talisker distillery and they give you a complimentary dram, however not being a whisky drinker I thought I'd 'water mine down' - all it did was make a little amount of euch stuff into a glass full of euch stuff - couldn't drink it in the end ( I know - what a lightweight) nevermind.

Although I am a fan of a good, has to be old,malt such as Glen Morangie (spelling???) I’d have to say my favourite was a sickly sweet liquored whisky called Glavar

Have to recommend Highland Park as well as Caol Isla (it has a couple of different spellings) and an Irish called Middleton. Looking forward to my 1st drink in a while after the New Forest marathon on Sunday - I just hope that the town of New Milton has some good pubs.

Glava is made with cherries is it not? Its a scotch liquer isn't it!?

Glayva is made from 100% blended Scotch whiskies. Have you tried Drambuie, WW. Or better still a rusty nail (Drambuie + Scotch), yum, v v good.
You must all be big peat bog fans! How about Glenfarclas or The Macallan, or if you're feeling really flush try Royal Slaute

I am a major fan of the rusty nail and try to drink as many as possible when oh holiday in foreign parts (where they have big measures) but the problem is I usually end up falling of my bar stool – much to the wife’s amusement.

And yes I prefer the peat bog whiskies :o)

Bring on next months holiday
