After a day of meetings and prepping for a class I have to start teaching next week, it's hard to beat a bit of Mr. Walker's Gold label (IMHO).

Just popped open a Smithwick's, pronounced Smit-icks. Sadly, there's no ESB available this evening.

In case anyone at Fuller's would like to assist me in my time of need, please send a few pints asap!

Ok I have to admit that when I first saw this thread I was drinking a Tim Hortons coffee.

But didn't have time to post. Now that I'm home and done my fair share of housework, I'm going to chill out with a rusty nail.

That would be this kind of rusty nail

(replace the Bowmore with J&B)

And not this! :eek:

Bowmore and Drambuie = very good taste.

Pity Drambuie is so bloomin' expensive tho. I haven't had that in years.

It's ok. I think the boyfriend bought it for me a few weeks ago. It was just hanging out in my fridge.
Ha! Purple Rain, Prince should sue! ;)

I had J&B in my Rusty nail as I don't tend to mix my single malts. But I do have a bottle of Bowmore 12 yr old that I dip into every now and again. Your right about the Drambuie cost, here it's $40 for the 750mL bottle and you really have to try to drink it all before the sugars crystallize, that's why I'm ok with the small bottle.

Gold Label!!?? :eek: :confused:

I only know of Black, Red, Yellow and Blue.

Where does Gold fall on JW scale?

Is it smooth or is it more peety...or something completely different?


To my palate (admittedly not the most sophisticated) Gold is second only to Blue in the Walker line. It's smooth, just not as smooth as Blue.

I have a Bowmore 12 year also, and for Islay malts I prefer Laphroaig. My dad bought Drambuie ages ago, and because he doesn't drink a lot it did crystalize a bit. He drank it right up after he saw that happening :D

Oh I have a bad experience with Laphroaig 10yr old, it's just way too peaty for me (like somebody smoked a peat cigar and exhaled it all into the bottle) :eek:. If you're a scotch fan and want to try a very well balanced, smoky scotch (so it's still for the more 'developed' palate) try Lagavulin 16 Year Old

Anyway back to the topic at hand, I have just finished off another medium Tim Hortons Cafe Mocha. That should get me to lunch!
