Glenfidditch!
Good man!
My favorite.

Oban is also good.

Did you get the silver label Glenfidditch? I couldn't quite tell.

Ghoulish Delight · 10-01-2008, 04:00 PM

It's a 12 year reserve, I believe silver label but I don't recall for sure. I was a bit disappointed to see it on shelves here at home. My decision was based entirely on the description on the bottle.

I'm sure it will be good, but oooooh the Pastrami on Rye. That is just transcendent.

Silver Label here? Awesome. If you spot it again, let me know.

Ghoulish Delight · 10-01-2008, 04:05 PM

No, it probably wasn't silver label here.

Sad cheese.

I loved looking at all y'alls pictures. It made me miss Edinburgh and London immensely. Such good memories from my last trip there. Yay.
There are some really great shots in there. I'm glad you guys had a blast.

The next time I go, I want to explore the Highlands, see Balmoral, go to Loch Ness (you know for the hell of it), Stonehenge and definitely go to the V&A Museum (we were museum-ed out and skipped that one).

Ghoulish Delight · 10-01-2008, 04:18 PM

The V&A was a blast. By the way, everyone should start writing in about the Cold War Design exhibit. I wrote and they said that currently there are only plans to tour Europe with it but they are always looking at options for coming to the states. We need to let them know that they'd sell tickets if they do!

If I ever get the chance I do want to tour Europe. I want to experience high tea and want to also go to an authentic pub while a football (what we call Soccer) match is playing. I am sure that is jolly good fun! I also want to see and tour a real castle.
