I might even bring some of "Scotland's Finest" with me...

Haggis?
Got any seeds?

G No, something slightly longer-lasting...

(Nearly finished a bottle of Big Peat and not got a lot of Linkwood left...)

I've only got Bunnahabhain, Bruichladdich, and Ardbeg in stock ATM...

Also nearly finished making a kilt belt from a strip of stout leather
(3½" wide) and the brasswork from a turnip^h^h^h^baldric made to be worn
on one occasion only by an ossifer during Queen Victoria's visit to a
small private regiment in Bredalbane. I bought the buckle, slider-loop
and finial in Killin in 1960. Might just wear it (and the rest!) should
you do so.

You might have to make do with Douglas, the Buchanan flappything isn't
afforded yet innit, ye ken.

I can live with the Douglas. The Buchanan is like nothing so much
as an explosion in a paint factory, IMO. Gey sair on the een, an' aa!

There might even be bananas by the time hops are picked, (t)oasted,
used as flavouring and then brewed and matured.

I'm in no hurry. I've got a lot on my plate at present, as you know...

Anna, with strong Islay connections I can only endorse your
Bunnahabhain, Bruichladdich and Ardbeg selection - although I note the
absence of several other single malts from that glorious island.
Notwithstanding - bliadhna mhath ur!!
