I stocked up the whisky and the whiskey today, as I had to be in Bakewell for a meeting.

That said, the fire water that has impressed me most recently is made in a fairly new distillery in Southwold. Yeah, Adnams make their own now and when we tried a taster on holiday last year, we had to buy a couple of bottles. Just over £40 a bottle so no gulping it down but ruddy good stuff. Their own gin is something else too.

I like a smoother taste normally and Bushmills is my poison but a peaty Islay of one type or other is a treat.
