Spent an hour ferreting in the drinks cupboard deciding what Whisky to take out to the boat tomorrow for Sunday Best, invited guests only.
Whisky Ordinaire is already on board by the bucket.

This years special nip is Prince of Wales Welsh Single Malt 12 Year Old.

What special nips do you keep on board?
 
Erm

Woods actually.

My current favorite Scotch is Brucladdich, but I have a couple of bottles of new expressions...too nice by half to share as they are LE.

Can't fault the Macallan of course and if you like peaty malts.....Laphroig or Lagavulin.

Keep Glen Morange for the guests....they'll probably know no better on the East Coast...

Ahem. While you Solent lot spend it on moorings and keep up wiv da Joneses boats, we have a little more left over for ...the finer things. You will get found out if you come bearing Fools Gold and passing it off for the real thing. Some of the Morangie are very fine indeed, particularly the 21 year old that passed my cellar on its way into history.
 
Perish the thought that you should share anything other than the ten year-old.......migod you'll be giving them Remy next time at this rate....
 
Hoping to add a bottle of Glenrothes. In the past my favourites have been Highland Park and Isle of Jura.

Really want a bottle of Knobs Creek again this year........

Aagh. Yes. The same trick I pull with Beaujolais Nouveau each year - 1 bottle refilled with home brew Boots Rich Home Red. Label is getting tatty now, should buy another proper one next year, or mebbe appropriate one from some posh git neighbour of mine who has put it out to be recycled.
I guess the cunning barman would add a spoonful of road tar to cleverly imitate the Laphroaigs, Lagavulins, Taliskers etc..

One of my old Lomond CC mates-from-schooldays - who became HM First Secretary in a dry and dusty sheikdom - had a practice I adopted myself when I travelled away from 'the land o' the leal'.

He would decant a bottle of 'firewater' such as Johnny Walker Red Label, Twa Dugs, or yon Bell's into a glazed stoneware stoppered jug. Into the empty rotgut bottle, he'd then decant his prized single malt, and have - of course - both visible to visitors.

When asked what they'd have, just about all would indicate the stoneware jug - and were perfectly content. There were gey few who wondered enough about the other bottle, and that handfu' said nothing, but quietly smiled along with their host.
