Whisky barrels

Just spotted this ad on the web -

'Original oak half whisky barrel plant containers with rusted metal bands. ... Delivered to your doorstep anywhere in the UK (except Highlands and Islands ...'

Presumably they think the Highlands and Islands are awash with whisky barrels of their own.

Outrageous!!!!

I bet they smell gorgeous! Wonder if Laphroaig do them??

Laphroaig. First time I heard a friend ask for this, they said it so slowly I though they were asking for a wine. Sounded like La Ferroyg to my untrained ears. Especially as the bar staff had to hunt down in the cellar before bringing up a dusty bottle. One sip offered from his glass and I understood.

Don't know that I'm supposed to give the website on this page - I'm sure someone'll come around to tell me off, if not.

LOL,

I am a signed up member and custodian of one square metre of land owned by the distillery! I have a bottle in the cabinet too!

Good for you! Yay! Husband's ears pricked up when I told him about your land ownership.

Our claim to fame - photographs showing us standing outside every one of Islay's distilleries.

Husband's job meant an annual visit to Islay - in February.
