One of my favourite recent drams. I just finished the last drop of my bottle at Christmas. Put Mortlach 16 Year Old on your to do list if you like the Dailuaine.

Nah it wasn't me. I've been off for a few days moving house. I've never tried the mead, it's only ever bought by trenchcoat wearing dungeons and dragons types. I have tried some good Scottish ones. Let me know what the Bunratty is like.

Anyone here running the Great Ireland Run on Sunday?

The one here for €179 here is apparently very good. I wouldn't bother with any of those crappy USB ones you get in Maplin etc. Otherwise adverts.ie can be good for the odd 2nd hand bargain. That's where I got mine.
