I used to drink Bourbon in my yoof, but find it a bit too sweet and a bit syrupy these days, I keep meaning to try some, just not got roundtuit.

Had this a few years now and kids up from down south along with grand kids so why not !

I am the other way around. Having drunk malts (often quite decent ones) most of my life  I have moved over almost completely to bourbons. I drink it with HUGE ice cubes.

Notwithstanding what I said about bourbons 😀 Glendronach is one of my favourite distilleries. Enjoy!

Southern Comfort on the rocks was the go to bird pulling cool drink in the '60's for lads to drink, funnily enough it doesn't seem to work any more, must be the drink...........................

My then girlfriend used to drink Brandy and Babycham. 50 years of marriage has cured her of that

My son brought me a bottle of "Ben Lomond" malt today. First dram I have had for a long time. Rather nice! 

Fred the odd one will do you no harm ......enjoy

Everything in moderation Colin. My dram was Loch Lomond (12 year old), not Ben Lomond as I said above. 

Tonights dram of choice one from the SMWS i have had for a while and never opened
