| Don't use the john as you fly over London you ba$^%&d.
And don't forget to ask the first Jock you see if you can take a look at what he wears under his kilt.
And don't forget to tell them how great it is to be visiting England at last. |

I think it may be for the export market only, it's not common here. Bowmore is a very nice malt, but then anything from Islay is killer, and I'm just about to kill the last of that bottle of Caol Ila.
Nice pic, that's almost my back yard. |

Picky, picky picky, but then I did live there for a year and was born and raised 14 miles on the Ayrshire mainland...it's ARRAN. "Scotland in Minature" due to the North being craggy and mountainous and the South being rolling hills and green. Highly reccomended to anyone looking for an awesome compact holiday experience.
My favorite place, Lamlash Bay where I was named 1976 Open Sea-angling Champion..landing 76LB of rod caught Cod in the days when there was anything above about 2lbs to be caught.
Rothesay is pretty cool place too. Great weekend and day trip destination for many Glaswegians. |

Location: NJ | I DID type ARRan, but it musta' stuck & I didn't catch it till after the f$*&^@ng program "timed me out" of editing . . . sorry . .
No, it IS McClelland's (based in Glasgow, but product of Islay). It was relatively inexpensive (about $30 here), & remarkably smooth, even neat.
It's no Caol Ila, but I have yet to find that over here . . . |
