OK, I’ll have a bash at my Flights of Fancy.
All are fine drams in their own style and all have a story to tell. The story for me is often just as important as the taste – it certainly adds to the overall experience.
In no particular order.

Mackinleys

#1. Mackinlay’s Rare Old Highland Malt

Otherwise known as Shackleton’s Whisky.

Shackletons Whisky Inside-the-crate
A great whisky to drink and a great story – who would leave such a fine whisky behind in the Antarctic for over 100 yrs?

Eschenbrenner

#2. Eschenbrenner Spessart Amber.

A lovely little single malt made in a micro distillery in Berlin aged in German Oak.

Only available at the distillery so getting hold of it is you’re own individual story.

Black&White

#3.Black & White Blended Whisky.

Not just any bottle – the bottle that was discovered during renovations at work and according to Diageo is at least 24 yrs old! Now that’s a nice tasting whisky!

Amrut Fusion

#4. Amrut Fusion.

A lovely blend of Indian and Scotch malts signifying the global reach of whisky – and the happy marriage of my friends.

#5. Powers Johns Lane Release.

An Irish pot still expression with a lovely spicy taste which bridges the gap between Irish Whiskey of old and the rising resurgence of Irish Whiskey today.

    Thanks Barry. Looking good with the pictures. Couldn’t add them in a comment – although did try!
    Now which one should I have a dram of tonight?

      No problems and thanks for your 5! I’d probably start with the Mackinlay’s what a legend!
