My Turn to Jones!
I have not had a new kilt for 3 years... (waits for the violins and tears etc)...
However perhaps yesterday was my day.
Not only did I find a bottle of Laphroaig Quarter Cask in a local supermarket but I also bid for a bespoke kilt in Ebay on buy it now!
It will be in a tartan I have long admired and had on my list - Black Stewart!
I know it's going to be after Christmas and New Year now so will be suffering from the usual Jones disease symptoms and require the above medication! 
Will do the review in due course but as I had my Braveheart kilt from the same supplier I am expecting it to be a good one!

Congratulations on the purchase!
Is the Quarter Cask as smoky as the "regular" Laphroaig?

When given a choice, most people will choose.

You may indeed it is bobilishious (Bob Chalmers) who has over 2300 feedbacks and all positive.
He has some more lovely tartans on Ebay at present too.

More of a Pub section question though this should be an average of 30% greater flavour though this is overall and not just more smokiness - http://www.laphroaig.com/qc/text/page_3.htm
I shall greatly enjoy it!

I didn't want you to be disappointed, Trefor!

That really was a banner day! Good for you....and I'm really looking forward to seeing a photo of you wearing your new kilt while toasting us with a wee dram of your new liquid acquisition!

Thanks for the violins Terry! 
You mean I got to make that bottle last 3-4 weeks?

Congrats!
Black Stewart really is one of the best all around tartans (In my opinion)
Can't wait to see the pictures.
