Conundrum

Here's the beef...

I've just won a bottle of twelve year-old Tormore single malt in a raffle. Great. Go me.

It's probably a ruddy good drop of Scotch for all I know. It may also get me shizzled, p'raps.

Except, and it is a big butt, I'm not really a purveyor of whisky, whiskey, sippin' liquor or any other variant - not since The JD Years at generic higher learning establishment put me off the stuff more or less permanently.

So what to do? The options seem to be:

  • Drink it anyway, in the name of science
  • Give it to me Da' - he likes the stuff more
  • Sell it on eBay
  • Pour it down the sink and denounce Satan
  • Give it to another raffle
  • Pour it down the sink and denounce Santa

There must be enough home-alone drinkers, menatlists and saddos left lurking on FT tonight to assist. And it's not even a poll, lazybones.

Two

A - C - R - O - F - C - S - E - T

... in case you actually wanted a condundrum, and are feeling a little cheated.

I wanna be a menatlist - dunno quite what it entails but it sounds entertaining. :P

Oh, and I'd flog the whisky on eBay. I'm no expert but it should make you a bit. :cool:

lazybones.

My son has just started collecting them.

Oh no he hasn't. It's Crazy Bones he's collecting.

Damn. It looks like I can offer nothing in this thread.

For science sake give it to your Da provided he denounces Satan and takes off that silly Santa gear then raffle your Da off on Ebay.

Sorted :thumbup:

Jim Murray in "Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2008" describes this as "a tolerable malt with a clean, well-defined malty backbone". So it's a malty malt, which is always a good thing in my book (and Jim Murray's, clearly) when it comes to malt.

Hope that helps.

If it hasn't got any 'easer' then I don't rate the malt at all. Bleurgh!

Looks like it retails for about £20 - £25 so not really worth trying to eBay. Drink it for the hell of it or give it to someone who'll appreciate it. :)

I really can't do that damn conundrum.

I'm sure it's not an actual word.

It's sometimes easier to have the letters in a 3x3 grid:

A C R

O F C

S E T

Hmm.

Prize for the winners of the next FoxesTalk six-a-side. Or perhaps, more fittingly, for over 21 player of the tournament. There could be an under 21 PoT too.

Even I wouldn't like to be responsible for a bottle of malt ending up with one of our younger members. I lost a whole day of my life to the stuff once. :D

Part Two Conundrumees should stop immediately as its wrong. :D:blush: :blush: Unless it is a word, in which case the first correct answer is the correct answer.

Male posters will no doubt be familiar with the "Oops, sorry" classic catch-all apology that never fails to quash the flames of searing female anger...

... here goes...

Oops, sorry. :blush:

:/ Hmmm, ok, forgiven. Seeing as it's you and you said it so nicely... :P:smile:
