Away you go.

And what exactly, Daniel, did you provide in that last quiz which made you claim that you got it partly right? Every Lear needs his fool I suppose.

Precise, witty, well-observed. And correct.

Where is it from? Yes or No.

I've just noticed your post was made after mine. I withdraw my apology, but not my witty riposte which had you in flowered muslin (in my imagination only).

Glenmorangie? I have spelt that wrong, maybe.

I wasn't expecting that. Hmm. It must be an Aberlour.

Unfortunately not. Must get another of that bottle soon.

Fly to Stansted and jump in a taxi. £20ish gets you to The Bell.

Sorry, that bit is easy.
The getting back bit on the Friday before Xmas is bonkers. The flights have gone through the roof.
I might get a train to Scotland and get a lift over with Rachel's sister and brother-in-law!

EDIT: in fact I can do the return for £150. Early return but sod it. What's to lose?

Lagavulin.
If no, is it an Islay?

Post by **DRT** » 22:14 Thu 05 Dec 2013

Not Lagavulin and not an Islay.

If it's only a bit lonely perhaps it is an English whiskey, always felt alone, even at school.
