We broached the black stuff on the first night (ISTR rushing into the cockpit to chuck into Balvicar Bay after my first sip although this may not have been entirely unrelated to my consumption in the interval between your ETA of 1930 and your arrival at 2259) and spent the rest of the weekend proffering whatever more conventional malt I had aboard at the time.

I did develop a liking for it later (this may be putting it a little too strongly) and distinctly remember declining to allow the bottle to be drained Chez Nick so that I could have a taste for another occasion.

There is another place in Alexandria called rather imaginatively 'The Whisky Shop' - it's in Antartex village - I suspect it will have the same problem as my first link though.

Another possibility is this place in Glasgow: http://www.tamsdrams.com/index.php?opti ... 1&Itemid=4

I've not used it myself, but there's an interesting interview on this site: http://www.ralfy.com/

Looks like a fun place to go. Unusual stock, quite quirky.
I think I will import Mrs FC for that trip.

That's a neat trick, you're angling for birthday treats aren't you! :D

No! Mrs FC is just as keen on the pension procurement process, and wishes to be fully involved. In fact, my purchase latitude is but 10% of the pot, and only on opportunity purchases rather than considered and discussed strategy.

Pete, not quite, but they are a chain retailer.
