Thread: Scotch and cream.

Shaving cream, that is.

Just got back from two weeks in the UK visiting London, Winchester, and Edinburgh. Spent some time in TOBS where both SWMBO and I got to smell all of their products; picked up sandalwood and their Eton College scent, which we both liked.



The whiskies in Scotland were delightful and it was fun to pop into a bar and check out the whisky menu. Went to a place called the Bow Bar twice, where the shelves were just lined with single-malts:



Later we went to a restaurant that offered a variety of samplers. Years ago my wife got me my first bottle of proper single-malt, Dalwhinnie 15yr; as such, Highland whisky has been my favorite so I went with the restaurant's Highland sampler. To my surprise, the Edradour 10yr was my favorite of the bunch. It's one that I don't recall seeing on menus or in liquor stores in my area, so that's what I came home with. It's billed as being the smallest distillery in Scotland:



My little haul from the trip; if not for luggage space, TSA, and US Customs, it would have been much more.

Nice to hear you had a good trip and returned home safely, and with some bounty to boot.
At least you can get the apothecary item here.
Enjoy the Scotch slowly, when it is a favorite it always seems to go to fast.

I am glad you enjoyed the trip. The sampler looks wonderful and your haul very nice. Enjoy your Scotch and other items.

Scotland is a wonderful place, I lived there for a time and I can't wait to go back and visit. Looks like you had a great trip!

I spent six years in grad school in Scotland and miss it terribly! I can't wait to get back, but until then, I'll enjoy it vicariously via others' experiences.

The bar seem to be the scotch paradise, i would suggest to try a Glenmorangie Quinta ruban this is one of my favorite scotch.
I hope you liked your trip, now Scotland is in number one of my travel list .

Just up the coast in St Andrews, so not far.

EDIT: Edinburgh is probably my favourite city though

I'm familiar with both, I lived in Auchterarder. Small world!
