I like the comment who is drinking this stuff - premiership football players, that's who!

[Clive]

I cannot think that any bottle of booze could be worth that sort of money!     Imagine clicking on the "add to shopping basket" in error.

Probably no better than the £7.95 stuff at Aldi.

[Clive]

I love Aldi's wines - and their prices! 

[Simon]

Cheapskates! 

I do like a nice malt whisky, but never pay much more than £30 for a bottle, and that's about once a year.  The rest of the time I slum it with Grants. 

[Clive]

I don't like Grants but I'm happy to drink Bells which the Scots regard to be rubbish.   

[Simon]

I find Grants smoother than both Bells and Teachers.  The ones I've tried so far are Isle of Jura, Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie, Dalwhinnie, Aberlour, all of which I enjoyed, and Bowmore, which tasted like petrol!   

[Clive]

I've tried the first four on your list but I can't say I'm into malts at all. Give me a Johnny Walker Black label any time!   

[Simon]

That's actually one I've not tried.  But, as our tastes are so different, I'd probably hate it!

When I was in Calgary I was all about the different malts... these days I'll have what is ever in the cupboard... which generally is ouzo or brandy at the moment... I got my dad a Glenlivet 18 for Christmas which was really quite nice though.

[Simon]

Yes, I'd imagine that would be.

[Clive]

Ouzo and retsina.  Fond memories of Aegina in Greece.

Memories, or fuzzy moments?
