A flood of friends and cousins visiting here in the last month from all over the place has meant that my single malt stocks has been replenished a fair deal - Lagavulin 16, Lagavulin 1995 DE, Macallan Cask Strength, Balvenie "Golden Cask"14, Nikka Yoichi 15 (fast becoming one of my favourites), Nikka Miyagikyo 15, Nikka Coffey Malt 12, Ardbeg 10, Amrut Fusion and Amrut Peated. The last two are single malts made in Bangalore and very highly recommended, superb stuff and comparatively inexpensive to boot. A variety to suit any palate, and a good time to visit...(-: Cheers Jayanand On Sun, Jun 29, 2014 at 10:20 PM, Nathan Wajsman <photo at frozenlight.eu> wrote: > I received my newly acquired 60mm macro lens for the Fuji X this week, and > immediately began testing it in my usual manner.
