...and sublime

Choices, choices.   Lager or Laga?

Two proud exports from Scotland - one 16 days old (judging from the best-before date) and one 16 years.

"Tennent's was the first lager to be brewed in Scotland. An authentic Scottish lager with a distinctive, crisp taste...it remains Scotland's favourite beer it accounts for about 25% of beer sales in Scotland. It's success: high quality, natural ingredients; purest water, finest Scottish barley, and the care and experience which only 400 years of family brewing heritage can bring."

"Lagavulin Single Malt is an Islay single malt Scotch whisky produced at Lagavulin on the island of IslayUnited Kingdom. The whisky has a powerful, peat-smoke aroma, and is described as being robustly full-bodied, well balanced, and smooth, with a slight sweetness on the palate."

The Tennents Lager was bought from the co-op on Tiree as sort of an homage to Rab C. - but. strangely, not drunk until more than a week later after I had got home.   The Whiskey just about made it unopened to my hotel room.
