A GOOD DRAM AND A GOOD BOOK

[rubberwellie]

I'm impressed by the whiskies favoured in this thread.  My fav is Lagavulin 16 yr old, its the perfect malt.  I tasted Caol Ila for the first time this year and was very impressed by it, I thought it very similar to the Lagavulin.  Talisker is probably my fav regular malt along with Tobermory (i.e. not too expensive). 

As for books - anything by Sidney Spencer. 
Beneath the Black Water by Jon Berry as recommended by someone else on the forum previously.
I recently bought a book on eBay which I'm looking forward to - Memoirs of a Hunter by Friedrich Remmler.  Its an account from a manuscript which was lost for 35 years about hunting, trapping, hawking lynx, wolves, bears, seals etc in Finland and Russia between 1904 - 1930.  I haven't read it yet but I'm hoping its as interesting as it sounds.

I always enjoy a Glenlivet but Tamdhu and Aultmore are worth a try. I never used to like gin but after trying Tanqueray I'm quite partial to a G&T now and again.

I re-read 'Nineteen Eighty Four' by George Orwell earlier this year and really enjoyed it; planning to re-read his other books this winter. For historical writing that's not a dry read Tim Clarkson's books are worth a look - in particular 'The Makers of Scotland' all about the various peoples that merged to become Scotland. Fishing wise I'd also go for Gierach (and Rangely-Wilson) as good reads with a dram
