I organized a whiskey/bourbon/scotch tasting a few years back and the crowd favourite was by far the Yamazaki but it was $125 so not something anyone would be likely to buy on a whim. The "best value for money" vote went to Buffalo Trace bourbon - well worth it if you can find it. Usually around $35 - $40 for 750ml here. I'm very fond of Sullivan's Cove but for some reason it rocketed up in cost around 3 years ago. Was around $75 then, but very rare to see it for less than $110 now. Even the wife loves Sullivan's Cove and generally she's not fond of whiskey.

I love my scotch but I've been growing much more fond of Irish whiskey of late. Really appreciate a nice oaky rum too.
Half your luck getting your hands on some Sullivan's Cove Newguy. Whenever I'm looking for any of theirs it's always out of stock. Mind you, most of my bottles come from love jobs and I only shop for it once every few months. Now I'm really pining for something peaty!

Umm, well yes to be honest I think she has. She is usually smiling and friendly and i think thats why the other girl told me she was looking for a date..lol.

I agree with you about the Islays. The bottle I actually brought during the whole phone incident was a StrathIsla. Not as peaty as Ardbeg but still a great scotch all the same.
She's keen, so here is some advice from a bloke who knows **** all.
Next time your in there,smile,say g,day and ask her if she wants a root.
Either way the problem will be solved....but then again the problem could be compounded.......your choice :)

So what I should have said was..This ugly bitch at Dans keeps trying to crack on to me everytime I go there and then the other day she cracked the shits at me because I had my phone to my ear, so I think shes just pissed that Im not interested in her. :D

WTF are 'love jobs'? You some kind of escort?
 
You're obviously not a tradie are you blind dog.

It's a job where you expect nothing in return.
However a bottle of something or a slab is usually forthcoming.

Nah. Thought about it but Cocko reckons the hours are shit.
'Love jobs': jobs you do for love/friends/family where you don't expect or ask for anything in return but casually talk about your love of single malt whilst performing said task.

Correct. I'm a soft as desk jockey. Mind you, back when I was a young 'un and labouring we called it an 'Acker' and the currency was usually a gallon jug of scrumpy for a days work.
 
Ah, we need people on desks just as much as the physical workers.
The way my body is going I will have to down tools within the next 10 or so years and drive a desk or company ute.

WTF is an 'acker'? You some kind of dermatologist? :-D
 
Somerset slang for 'mate' and hence why Acker Bilk rather than Bernie Bilk
 
Haha! I'm so confused right now!
