Ni MikeL, some of the bottles are open, not all by any means. I rarely drink at home. If you or anyone else visited we could rink to our hearts content, but seldom on my own.

As to the Teeling, there has been an explosion of "new" whiskeys in Ireland in the quite recent past. I've tried (and have a bottle of) a ten year old Teeling and like all Irish Whiskeys I tried (with the exception of Midleton) it is superb.

# Thanks for the link, I remember Strawhead doing the same number with GREAT effect some years ago.
