Yes.
I prefer The Balvenie DoubleWood 14 Year Old over the Gelnfiddich Rich Oak 14 Year Old.
Quite impressive, since you don't in fact have a Balvenie Doublewood 14 yr old... (never mind any Gelnfiddich)
My WOTN is unsurprisingly the Balvenie 14yr old Caribbean Cask.

It's amazing what you can find in a Microsoft Office building if you wander around for a bit...

Wow, this stuff is good... but I have to drive home, so a splash is all I get. :(

The Macallan is seriously good stuff. Nice find!

Interesting comments on the BBC from Clackmannanshire. Expected to be one of the most likely results to go to "Yes" but looking like going "No" - result expected before 2 a.m.

Clach-man-un-shir is roughly how it goes.

I like the ITV coverage. Very homely, they might have spend £500 on that set.

I am NOT switching over from BBC and you can't make me! I'm pacing myself and have got through all four soft things. Islay and Lowlands to come. The Lowlands ('High Class Luxury', from 1990) is quite a deep orange colour. It'll be the one that seals the deal.

I cheered out loud.

60/40 to no a possibility.

Common sense prevailing.

Glasgow looking to be 54% Yes so picking up likely Yes votes in places like this really matters.
