Answer Avoidance Syndrome. You can be put away for that in these parts.

I thought it might Advanced Alcohol Syndrome.

I thought you meant American astronomical society.

Lakes malt?

Then I am going to go to bed. Or Mars. Probably bed. But it's a quantum universe so we can't be sure and we'll never really know.

Good night.

The clues:

It is a whisky from and island with one distillery;
You could drive from the distillery to Wales.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 01:04 Fri 06 Dec 2013

You could drive to Wales from any distillery in Britain.

It's not my turn. Good night again.

But there is only one island distillery that you can drive to Wales from without using a car ferry.

Oh it's on Anglesey then.

Oops. Owen, it's on Anglesey.

I've just been googling distilleries on Anglesey.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 01:20 Fri 06 Dec 2013

No. Just a bit thick. There aren't any on Anglesey.

Post by **DRT** » 01:22 Fri 06 Dec 2013

OK. It is a whisky produced by a lone distillery on an island off the coast of Scotland. There are only about four of those. There is one island off the coast of Scotland that can be driven to (or from) without the use of a ferry.

Go get 'em Ernie!

Not quite. And it's too late at night to worry about having five dots in an ellipsis.

Before you mentioned that you can drive from there to Wales, I thought you might have been drinking a Japanese whisky. Don't they make good whiskys?

Mr Somerset already said Talisker, and that's the only one on Skye. Are you sure you're not drinking it? I mean, that's not the answer?

When?

PopulusTremula · Post by **PopulusTremula** » 10:30 Fri 06 Dec 2013

Like LG guessed; it has to be Talisker, the only one on Skye, which is an island accessible by bridge.

I cannot find a post where Owen guessed Talisker. Unless someone can point me to it the next question belongs to SCP-DFF.

Ah. I didn't see that because every time Owen and Daniel go off on one of their arty-farty discussions about books, poetry or other cultural pursuits I glaze over and skip to the next post.

Owen's up.

Pay attention Derek. Pages of meaningless drivel wasted. This is precious stuff!

You should do a question. You spotted the Talisker. You went down a storm amongst an adoring public.

I am ignored, even by Derek and have some to-ing and fro-ing to do this evening.

So go on, our breath is bated.

SCP-DFF · Post by **SCP-DFF** » 18:58 Fri 06 Dec 2013

Oh goody. Thank you!

Last night my husband and I were enjoying a nice evening by the fire, drinking our Talisker bottle together (he had 7/8th of it), with good conversation and general lovely-couple-time. We were discussing a common topic between us, and at one point I said, "I can't imagine having !" and then I paused. Then JDAW proceeded to brace himself with the look 'I don't know what's coming next' on his face, and saying, "Three heads? A case of Nacional 1931? Child with Down's syndrome?"

What was it that I actually couldn't imagine having?

FTR, I might have had â…ž of the whisky we jointly consumed, but that was less than a bottle.

That's just silly. The problem is not that one cannot imagine having a case of 1931 Nacional, the problem is that one can only imagine having a case of 1931 Nacional.

I know. I too thought it hard to believe. By dry-day 4, he gets a little fidgety.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 20:40 Fri 06 Dec 2013

I am also getting a little fidgety since it's not my turn and I can't guess and all I've had is one glass of Fonseca 85 (decanter's privilege) and one of Palo Cortado.

I think this one's been in Northern Ireland most of its life. And in my cellar about a year.
