It’s kind of weird to try and explain, but most shooting men have more respect for animals and wildlife than the average person.

I’m not into pictures of trophy hunts though. 

I’ve got a belting pic of me holding up one of my first rabbits when I was a nipper, but I guess I just grew up.

I find it sort of disrespectful to the quarry.

Islay is God's country Mick, plus eight of the finest whiskey distilleries in the world. So even better for the sheep. 

 

 

 

 

 

Is Ardbeg on your fav's list?  I found it overwhelming with the intensity of its peaty smokiness.  Never featured as a 'repeat' purchase - maybe that's the shandy drinking Southerner in me...  ?

I’m not sure that’s a marketing line Mark ?

I’m from a valley in Northumberland.

Saatchi and Saatchi never did beat a line to my door....

Many a true word, my friend.

I think I've posted this before, but anyhow this isn't far from the truth imo.
