Drams for the salmon fishing!!

It is approaching that time again for us when we go whisky drin . . . . . sorry salmon fishing for a week. My week is unfortunately being truncated by my good ladys bloody audacity to be 40 on the Friday so its down the road on the thursday evening for me.
However the drams are being prepared. 22 years we have been going away as chums so normally we buy a bottle of the particular year vinatge as a commemoration. However 22 year olds are pretty steep so its bottles to TOTAL 22 i.e. 2 bottles. . one 10, one 12 to total 22 if you get ma drift!!!!!!!! Being us of course it has to be at least 4 bottles each.

I have taken at the mo the easy option. I am taking a Glenlivet 10, Talisker 12, for my first 22!! and a bottle of Bowmore Tempest 12. My mate from Ayrshire is takingat least 5 of various vintages. Big mate so far is taking 2 bottles of JW Royal Salute and a bottle of Balvenie . . vintage unknown as well as sommit else.

What does one think?? A nice wee apperitif to capture any magical moments. Any whisky connosieurs want to add in a special or nice one that I could take (price reasonable of course). Does any one know of a reasonable 22 year old malt???? Also options please for another 10 year old that I should get to make up my second "22 pack"
BTW I'll try and post a pic if I can be bothered on return to make all you whisky drinkers envious. . . . . . esp you Twwed Dog!!
Regards

Not tried that one, but have few single cask ones and they tend to be fine.
Might be a bit of wood at 21.
Was dishing out some Fettrie on the spey and it seemed to go down well.
Did you do any good? We had 2 fish the week before last.

Was exceedingly hard work.
There were fish going through but not stopping and less than normal. A team with well over 2000 fish between them had 2 for the week.
I had a 5lb seatroot that wasnt a kelt, but probably a fish either.

Got this one from Coscos the other day.
Nothing wrong with it.
Might give heartburn after a few though.

I had a Japanese whisky a few years ago. It wasn't bad at all.

That's an interesting looking fish for May. You didn't ask it its story?

I did...as I was the one who netted it. A very experienced brown trout fisher, who I showed the photo too said it was a brown who'd decided to go to sea and become a seatrout who'd then returned to the river and decided to stay there. He's had a few exactly like that from the Don and Deveron over the years.

Btw, it wasn't a May fish Ian, caught on the 31st of March (y)
