No Sir, I have not. Is it smokey peaty?
I presume ssince its origin is Islay.
I have loved me sum Ardbeg, Caol Ila..

It is indeed quite smokey, but not too overpowering

I prefer the double wood to single barrel, still a beautiful single malt though!

The DW is very good also, I had a bottle of 21 yo Portwood and it was very good also.

U DA MAN!:pesas:

14 yr old carribean cast is one of my favs.:campeon:

Yes, that is one I won't turn down either

Too much like bourbon for me.
Make mine Talisker,or Lafrog, or Craggenmore..

Or Oban 14yr... which is like an angel pissn on yer tongue..

Oban 14 is one of my standby's also, very smooth and more reasonably priced than others around here

I do see your point, ever tried bunnahabhain? They do some beautiful 12, 18 and 25 year single malts. The distillery is on the Isle of Islay, I went for a day trip round it a few years back

Yes, I've had those and they are good also, we are more limited here in the states than you are in UK. Plus they are quite a bit more expensive when they get here.

I had a rare morning of no new service orders and no parts received so I decided to see how far I could get with China Girl. Started at 8:30 A.M. with bare cases.

Had the dreaded white case gasket so I put Dirko on both sides of it and slid the crank in.

Oil pump seems OK, I don't trust this worm gear at all.

Chain brake and clutch went together nicely.

Cover and drum next.

Don't like this at all though.

A little trick for aligning the muffler, put the lower bolts in part way before tightening the ones in the cylinder.

Muffler on.

Then the fuel tank.

And the carb.

Air box buttoned up. Notice I put the filter mount on upside down. :facepalm:
