I have a very enticing bottle of Edradour to open on Christmas Eve, so that I can leave a glass out for Santa
I normally tend to go for single malts from the islands, but after visiting the Edradour distillery on a bike tour many years ago, it's become a bit of a favourite and Lady Redlight was kind enough to pick up a bottle on a recent work trip to Edinburgh.
All this talk of whisky going off worries me, though. In our household, it can take two or three years to get through a bottle of spirits (we have vodka dating back almost two decades). I haven't noticed any decline in quality, but then I don't have a particularly refined palate.
