Which Whisk(e)y for my return to action

[les taylor]

Adrian what a result. I'm just having a Glenlivet 18 and then going to bed. I've been working on rebuilding an old chesterfield for the last 4 days and the end is in sight at last. So it's nice to have a decent dram to savour.

Les would love to see a pic when you are finished .... I love to be able to do what you do but total patience is not my forte

I'm glad it's working for you.

Ye had me worried there for a while but all grand now ... however I do know that when I'm over tired whisk(e)y just does not taste right to me

Adrian I'm glad you took the Bull by the horns and welcome back. After my month off I had a PC5. It tasted just wonderful.

1. Bushmills 1680 400th Anniversary Edt
2. Jameson 15yo Pure PotStill (PPS)
3. Redbreast 15yo

Remember your an Irishman, so I would be when something else???

Yes, normal business resumes Les ..... Well I started with a RB 15 then the Karuizawa '71 ... I did chicken out on the Tomintoul 27yo and Yamakazi 18yo as I wanted to make sure I had a fresh palate. Then had a Bushmills 1608 400th, a Tesco 12yo Highland Malt (Which is not bad at all) washed down by a couple pints of water and a Labats Ice then again followed by 2 large Lap QC's and now a a'bunadh 19th batch.....

Will let you know how the head is in the morning

Jaysus Adrian - Is that what you call easing yourself back in? What do you usually drink on a Wednesday night??

Iain good thing it wasn't a friday.

Iain good thing it wasn't a friday.

That's true. Let's all talk quietly today for IWC's benefit.

Then when he least suspects it WE CAN ALL START SHOUTING!!!!

(Well in my head typing in capitals is the same as shouting.)

Well I survived ..... but yes did go over the quote a bit ... especially after I said I was going to take it easy Luckily I have a marked glass and measured out my drink as god knows how much I would of drank then. In all fairness the 2cl of a'bunadh was a waste in the end as I was drinking whisky at that stage

18cl of whisk(e)y in total, 33cl of beer and 25cl of red wine with dinner. I think it was the 2 pints of water that saved me

However some eye opening results of that little binge .....I have followed the official UK alcohol unit calculator to a tee .....

And just to give you a prespective if I was drinking in an Irish pub this would equate to 7.5 drinks. 5 Whiskies 1 beer and 1.5 Wine

This amount actually totaled 14.07 Units


Can't say I'm perfect today a bit dopey but sure what's new

I'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't suffer woeful headaches too often however.

Roll on Friday I still have 1/3rd of my weekly quota left

I just heard on the radio that Michael Phelps eats 12,000 calories a day. So it's OK to ignore guidelines meant for the general population when you are, you know, a professional.

Thanks David that makes me feel so much better......

The thing is though, to keep in shape you have to do 50 lengths of the pool per day.

Does the effort in pouring and lifting to mouth not counter act the calories in a small measly dram?
