Hi David.  It isn't as active as it once was but its still around. You
replied to the list here so I'll do the same :)

I've picked up another bottle of Talisker 18 at duty free coming back into

Yes, whisky away from the UK is very expensive and hard to come by these
days!  Rough life out in the northwest and southeast colonies I always say
;)

What Ardbeg are you enjoying at the moment?

I have rediscovered the Still Young after mostly leaving it behind for the
Almost There though I still really enjoy Beist and TEN as well. Been
enjoying a lot of Bunnahabhain (12yo and 18yo) and various Bruichladdichs
these days too along with some Yamazakis and Yoichis.  Last night I
revisited a lovely 1988 17yo ex-cognac matured Glen Garioch by Duncan Taylor
that is very rum like, spicey.
