    David sent one of the pubs prized decorations to me a few months back. It's a train ticket from "Glenbogle" that he got when he was in Scotland last summer.
    I've got a model tank car which I bought there which is lettered as "Glenbogle Dhu - Finest Scotch Malt Whisky."
    Excellent pictures. Can almost smell the malt whisky. Just as well I gave up alcohol some time ago or I might have been tempted - in my younger days I was very much into single malts.

    Does Drambuie (first pic) really belong in the whisky section?

    It might be whisky based but it's much more of a liqueur.

    Very true, and as the whisky selection grew, the dranbuie moved to the liqueur section. It is in the same cabinet, but beside the Ales. It was the only liqueur until this week. Now Grand Marnier (and some brandy) has been added to the selection.

    And I remember how upset my late stepfather was a couple of Christmasses ago when I polished off the last drop of the bottle of Drambuie that he had had for fifteen years!

    I see from this picture

    that you have some of the Historic Ale collection from the same brewery that Froch is brewed. Have you tried them yet ? Alba is rocket fuel and Kelpie is interesting Ebulum is strong and fruity.Grozet nice and light. For those of you wondering look here

    Sten Rune and his family camped in a field next door to the brewery and were befriended by the guy that looks after the place. He got a grand tour and lots of tastings...Lucky dog

    Don't let the tidy appearance fool you David, those bottles have been empty since the week after alst Christmas when I got them. I like the heather ale the best, but the others (including the fruity one) were all very tasty. Unfortunately I just don't think $20 for 4 ales is worth it at the beer store. Maybe I can find a 6 pack of the Froch somewhere if you ever make it to Vancouver There is a place at the bar saved for you anytime.

    In other words it is like mine, except that I use those lovely flags to hide the workbench, painting stuff, musical instruments, tools, and stereo oh, and your whisky collection is likely a bit mor eimpressive
