Getting all my kit ready for a long weekend hanging in the Galloway Forest next weekend and I came to a conundrum!

What to put in the hip flask to keep the cold out on a night! :)

My choices are either

Taliska 10 year old (got the bottle from the distillery when we went to sky for my 30th last year!

Or

Quarter cask Laphroaig

Or if I really wanted to mix it up there is the 3L of 3 year old slow gin in the shed!


Hmmmm decisions decisions!

Got me wondering what others like in theirs?

Cheers

From those choices, I'd go with the Talisker. I love Islay malts but Laphroaig is my least favourite. Had it been a Caol Ila....but it isn't. So Talisker - Skye is a nice place after all!

Sloe gin for at home I think :)

Well the sugar in the sloe gin will give you a wee energy kick - purely a bushcraft survival aid that of course. Nowt to do with enjoyment.:rolleyes:

70% white Rum. Pure wobbly juice that makes you forget your breathing in more midge than air.

I'd go with Talisker too out of those two if I was on Malt.

Why restrict yourself yourself? take all 3 ;)

I favour Talisker or Highland park, or something I have produced myself :beerchug:

For my week away from Sunday I will have dimples and port.

Usually Tesco Armagnac, but my hip flask appears to have gone on a journey without me, so I'm currently trawling Amazon....

My hipflask does actually contain Talisker 10yo at the minute so I'd go with that :)
