Last summer we were on Islay, sampling the local distilleries' offerings. Port Ellen (the distillery) has obviously been closed for decades now, but a bar in Port Ellen (the town) had some. I went and ordered one drink, but the girl in a very friendly way said "maybe you want to take a look at the whisky menu" Right ho, a shot of Port Ellen would have set me back £220 and upwards.

Luckily the menu was some 20 pages, with some great local single malts to taste at more down to earth prices

Full disclosure - I did have a chance to taste Port Ellen in Tokyo, on a customer's expense account

More Canadian whiskey, cause scotch is hard to find

Finally was able to find a Dalmore King Alexander III locally, I had to pull the trigger. SO SMOOTH!

Also have been really liking Redbreast 12 cask strength.

A bit of budget Whisky-Fi. Tamnavulin Double Cask, i got this one as present and was pleasantly surprised how good it is for the price.

Are those bespoke Grados?

It's a Grado The Hemp, a limited edition made of - you guessed it - Hemp. Somewhat different tuning from the classic Grados, especially due to the rather weighty mid-bass.

This one is just delicious… not cheap at £400+ but, well worth it. (* price I paid back in 2016 when I bought 2 bottles, it is now very hard to find and it sells for well over £900)
Pipe is a Ser Jacopo Leonardo.
