Hi LLL,

Too little water and all you do is anaesthetise your palate thus not getting the full flavour from the said beverage.

It has been found that a 50% equal mix gives the best results. Try it and let me know the resulys

my mums side of the family are from greenock
I have seen whisky poured in cornflakes to get set for the day,
but a small jug of water and whisky is de rigeur
offering ice is like asking do they want there mouth rinsed with battery acid

Well if I stayed in Greenock I would also start the day with whisky on my cornflakes

i`d just end it there and then.

For a decent dram I'd only use 1/3 water just enough to make it louch. (cloudy for the uninitiated). Only an idiot would ruin a nip with ice. My favourite would be Bunnahabhain followed by Fettercairn and Balvenie. Baillie Nichol Jarvie is nun too shabbie for a cheap standard bottle for a days fishing. Don't normally drink on a school night but feeling the urge right now cheers.

I went to Islay a couple of years ago on a whisky tour, what an experience that was

Hope you enjoy your nip Pablo.....

1. The most scared at age of 11, when best friends mum picked us up from school in brand new Rover 2000, going downhill (autumn) hit brakes on road covered in leaves - she turned the wheel - nothing happenned - we went straight across t-junction, thru hedge & into ploughed field - wow - we're all ok - but poor old Rover's a rite-off..!
2. My Grandfather told me in all seriousness - "Never trust a whiskey drinker"
I used to love playing chess with him - he smelt fantastic - now I'm pushing sixty, I realise the smell was prob his pipe tobacco ?
He was a Yorkshireman, but I was born darn safff.
I think he was a Methodist.

It's finally finished

I've spent the last few days finishing off the garage, mostly giving the ramp a lick of paint to make it look a bit tidier.

The ramp has a plastic coating and with it lying outdoors for 10 months the water had got under the plastic where there were nicks in it. I tried to burn the plastic off using my high powered blow torch but it wouldn't look at it, so it was a case of remove as much damaged plastic and repaint.

I suspect that the paint won't be as durable as the plastic, but at least I can freshen it up whenever I want

The floor is now sealed and I shouldn't have any more dust problems

More than enough space for 2 large vehicles side by side
The Range Rover will need to stay outside for a few days to let the paint on the ramp dry

Now I'm off to tan that bottle of Auchentoshan

Thanks to everyone on this forum for their support, tips and ideas, without which I would have struggled to make such a good job.

Please see my driveway post for for more advice that I now require
