What's with the fuel prices! And cheap whisky, apparently ...

[Milzy]

Just topped up the Kodiaq, at £1.30/litre at ASDA - Glasshoughton

Whilst in the store, we ended up looking at whiskey
I’m tee-total, but wife likes it
The cost is silly for the constituent ingredients, but yes, mainly taxation on it
Some worked out to £67/litre!!!!!

I like real & craft ales but tried to get into the whiskey thing but it is all disgusting no matter what type, even the most expensive you can get. I’d rather have a drop of rum but most spirits are horrid & evil to be fair. Cold cider is ok on a hot day.

Rums nice ( with coke ) and so is a nice cider on a hot day. Still like my malts :-)

Heresy! Whisky is like an angel is crying on your tongue.

Cant say im a whiskey lover although for the most part id only drank blended. My late brothern liked a tipple and tried his single malt...wasnt much better IME, clearly some of us just dont like the stuff .
The price analogy is fair tbf, it makes ypu realise how cheap petrol is, in some cases, almost as cheap as water. Doesnt seem much of a consolation when youve always tried to limit your useage

Blended is for Lowland Scottish wino's and french polishers.

A bottle of Laphroig did for me at uni. Never had another sip in 30 years.

That must be a world record. Nearly £125 for a litre?! 😄

A bottle of Laphroaig got me instantly addicted to a dram of the Devil's own hot piss.

Laphroaig doesn’t do it for me, too peaty for my taste buds. However I’m finding the Speyside malts a bit too sweet. Maybe I need to swap over :-)

 

[Drago]

The only sweet one I like is Glenlivet.

And no sooner does CycleChat get on the case then OPEC and Rissia agree to increase production to reduce prices and easy the impact on the world economy.

On the one hand thats good. On the other, all that does is slow the rate at which the economy reduces its reliance upon fossil fuels, and adds to pollution and climate change.

Forget petrol, I demand a reduction in whiskey prices. Get the priorities right.
