Thanks for the link. Wow that is pricey for the 1984. I live on a small island in the Mediterranean so we pay a lot more for imported luxuries. I did the conversion wrong tho it comes out to about 55 euro. I am going to try it this evening with a good cigar and watch the sun set.

By the way I registered on the website and am an official Diurach the Gaelic name for a local. I get a free dram at the Jura pub every month for life! Might have to make a visit there and collect.

 

Have you ever been to the island? I am planning a trip to Scotland soon and am seriously considering adding a stop there to my itinerary.
As for the price, that is the cost of living in paradise. I live on the North side of Cyprus and the cost of living, houses,food etc is cheap compared to Europe or the US but we pay about half as much again for anything imported, be it a car or a bottle of Scotch.
And most of that is due to the North not being recognised as an independent country. Unfortunately UN sanctions mean everything imported has to first go through Turkey. Too many fingers in the pie!

 

Before I finalize plans I may contact you for some pointers. We try to get away from the brutal late summer heat of the Eastern Med for a couple of weeks each year. We went to Dublin last year but could only spend one week so stayed in the city. I really want to get out into the country side. Stop in some small village pubs along the way. Really see the local flavor not just the tourist sites.
By the way. I couldn't wait for sunset and have made my way almost downo to the label on the bottle! Very, very, smooth! If my writing becomes unintelligible you will know why.

 

Just took it down to the bottom of the label this afternoon. I think this is my new favorite Scotch. Thanks for introducing me to it. That is one fine spirit!

 

I'll have to look for it.
