      I miss the early videos where he went through 80% of the bottle and there was genuine drunkenness. On the other hand, glad it worked out for him and he doesn't have to drink to forget he's in someone else's kitchen, drinking someone else's whiskey.

      On a tour of Islay distilleries, my 18 yo daughter sampled six different Scotches. She described the taste of all as "fire-dirt". I thought, she's not wrong. I did buy her a Laphroaig for her 21st, her own bottle of fire-dirt.

    • @LaurencePlays
      @LaurencePlays 3 года назад

      Mmmm, yes - Ardbeg is my personal favourite, although I often drink Laphroaig too as it's easier to get hold of and usually about half the price! Bowmore is also a good Islay if you're on a budget - and Sainsburys have an Islay Blend which is surprisingly enjoyable.

    Yo PV3, glad to see you enjoying some quality scotch! That product sounds amazing, we might have to see if we can find some. Thanks for the great review. You love you, man.

    Beautiful Scotch. I want one of the smoker cylinders it came in, just for kicks. Keep ‘em comin’, PV3!!!

    Best acting so far. I just wanted to give the PV3 character a massive hug and tell him things will be OK.

    You had me thoroughly teased on the leather-bound of your notes, PV3. Only to leave me with blue balls…
