One More For The Road…takers please...
Jim, David, and I have been discussing holding a final "One More For The Road" slot back at the Tyndrum Inn on Saturday evening, after dinner. This would be in aid of the same prostate cancer charity already mentioned on the forum, and will be run along the theme of a whisky tasting - based on the fact that the actual amount of tasting on the distillery visit earlier might be limited by the need to drive straight on immediately afterwards..
 The exact format of this tasting session is a bit flexible, but will be based around the following elements: for a small donation (say, £5) to the prostate charity, forum attendees - over 18! - will be able to taste up a number of malts from range of whiskies, and there will also be a prize bottle of malt (Ardbeg, 75cl) on offer too. Jim has kindly offered to donate some malts from his prize collection, and I'll be bringing a number of mine too, so this is likely to include, as a minimum, the following: Scapa, Laphroaig, Macallan, Arran, Talisker, Bruichladdich, Glendronach, Smith's Glenlivet, and Aberlour Glenlivet. In order to plan a bit of the detail (no. of shot glasses, etc), it would be helpful to get a rough idea of who's interested in this, so could those who are please reply to this thread. Oh, and if anyone has their own neglected/much-loved/half empty bottle of their own malt that they'd like to add to the "Forum Collection" then let me know..  Slainte! Stephen

Count me in, the only problem I have is contributing constructively to the collection.
Anticipating our planned visit to Islay my stocks are now fairly depleted and the two fine whiskies I have "in reserve" I hope you'll understand I'm rather reluctant to bring along - Laphproaig 18yo and Octomore 06.1. I might have a bit of Jura and a variety of Bruichladdich (Islay Barley 2006) though. We also have some House of Commons Number 1 12yo, though that is of course not a single malt.

I do not have any to offer but always up for tasting.
I just hope it's not the same with whiskey as wine because I find the cheaper the wine the better taste.

You can always mix cheap whisky with Buckie.
(then use it to clean the drains.........)

I'll donate but won't drink even if I love whisky, I'll still have to drive back to the camp site afterwards...unless I can leave car at the campsite and have someone who actually stays at the camp to drive me back, then I will donate 20quid and will take 4 shots of each whisky
