I'm Amarantha :wink: But I don't have an avatar there. They were afraid Scott Adams might sue them if they let me keep it, and I haven't thought of a better one yet. I tend to mostly lurk, though.

Count, the Havana Club AƱejo Blanco (or the 3 years) is the rums to use for a Mojito rather than plantation Jamaica..in my opinion.. Oh, good :) I got that one at my local because it's what they had, and seemed affordable enough, but I'd meant to do some searching and see if there was something mor...

Re: The Beard Thread
Despite being of the female persuasion, I've always thought I'd look rather dashing with a beard, and resolved to grow one if ever I found I was able. Needless to say, my fiance is terribly glad that I remain unable :mrgreen: I am rather lazy about shaving, I must confess, but it doesn't seem to aff...

Re: Wild Turkey Rye
That's what I use for Manhattans and Old-Fashioneds; I recommend it, at least for mixing. Can't comment for sipping, as I tend to stick to single-malt-scotch or the occasional brandy for that. I got my rye at Nick's Wine Merchants in Doncaster. From what I've read, there are probably better ryes in ...

Good morning, sir. Might I inquire as to whether there is an option on the Index Page to "Mark Forums Read", whilst using the Classic skin? I may be all alone in the Brown Room, but I find it more comfortable here than in the Gold Room. Thank you kindly

Re: Macallan sells for $54,000
Seriously though, what's the oldest single Malt you've tasted? I paid a serious amount at a whisky bar for a dram of 1939 Macallan once, and I've found some whisky's almost as good, but this did go to show me that you can taste the difference in price in whisky's a lot easier than you can with wine...
