    Johnnie Walker Green Label, try a bottle of Penderyn - Welsh Whisky

    It's a very smooth Single Malt Whisky.

    Penderyn is a Welsh Whisky so not "Scotch" it's much smoother than a normal whisky goes down your neck like nectar.

    Worth a try.

    Probably only going to be stocked at big stores...the type that have about 3 or 4 aisles dedicated to alcohol. (Unless they just had it on trial or something? I'll check at my next visit.)

    Whatever happens, I'm sure you'll be glad you hunted it down when you finally get to hear the sound of the cork stopper leaving the neck of the bottle, as you settle down for your first tipple of this little belter of a single malt!

    Can't wait lol' funny thing is in my late teens I got severely drunk on Whisky and was ill for days, after that just the smell of the stuff would have me gagging, it took 30 years to try it again, I'm so glad I did but I never abuse it now.

    30 YEARS????

    I'm going through the same thing at present (about 2 years now) and I've always hoped that before too long I'll be able to face it again as I used to love my odd tot...

    I hope you are the exception Sussex - No offence mate :emoticon-0107-sweat

    Yup 30yrs, actually if someone hadn't bought me a bottle of 12yr old Glenfiddich for my 50th I probably would still be off it lol
