What's your poison?

RE: What's your poison?
Sorry for being o.t., but I especially like the german "Lord of the Rings" classic, 3-volume issue I see on the extreme right of the second image!

This translation by Margaret Carroux is so much better than the new one!

This evening it's some Shiraz. (This one's got 4.5 gold stars, so it's not too bad!)

Regarding Octomore, there's a number of versions, all should be pretty good - so I wouldn't restrict yourself to the one I linked to. I tried it first when I visited the Bruichladdich distillery on Islay a few years ago. They let me try a dram and it was incredible. In fact, have a picture of me in the distillery gift shop Smile

Look at what I discovered in my local liquor store! Smile

This evening I bought myself a bottle of Crystal Head Vodka:

R1200 for a bottle of whiskey?! Bliksem, dis duur!

Having said that, my bottle of Nikka Coffey Grain whiskey set me back £60. That bottle of Laddie is £50 here, only a small import duty to SA then Smile

Might just have myself a wee dram now...
