One Dutch expression for having one over the eight is literally, looking deeply into the bottle ('diep in het fles kijken').
Have now looked keenly into the Tomintoul bottle and can confirm that it is indeed the 'gentle malt' it says it is.
From Glenlivet, it is sweetish, warm and salty. A normal 40% alc. and all round decent. But probs too dear over here? Cost me €40

I’ll be in the Tomintoul area for a few days next month so might do some sniffing around as it’s one I’ve not tried nor noticed among Tesco’s club card deals.

Duly christened. A pleasant dram, almost liqueur-like, probably due to the Bourbon cask? Wouldn’t make my top ten but not to be sniffed at.

Oh that's horrible to hear. One of my best friends lost one of her twins a couple of years ago. She was 20. It's an undeniably tough time but it sounds like friends and family are gathering around which will be a huge help in the short and longer term.

From the SMWS Heretics range; blended malt rather than single malt.

Still see them here occasionally - I think either Aldi or Lidl sell them but can’t remember their name.

Nice. I had a Tomintoul a coupla weeks back, very 'fine' in taste.This evening's offering. A new one for me. @emerald green is the chocolate acceptable this week?

Slumming it was a Glenlivet Founder's Reserve iirc w'out going to kitchen. It is less 'fine' but more solid without apostrophes.

Opened my birthday present just now and poured myself a small one. The Glenfarclas 105 is one of the finest I have tasted. A week on Tuesday, by sheer coincidence, we’re dining at the Mash Tun in Aberlour for my wife’s birthday. It just happens to have a massive selection of Glenfarclas whiskies - A 52 bottle collection featuring one single cask for every year from 1952 - 2008. I may be gone for some time.
