It's rare some random ps2 game can come up with a legit amazing drinking song.

I think the song actually predates the game by a long shot.

Seems legit.
I guess "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" was too high class or something.

Kugelfisch and Keith Chegwin have been gone for several weeks, and they both conveniently return at the same day.

Maybe they were tag-teaming April. The timing fits.

The timing does but I wouldn't.

I was recently to a whisky tasting with a tour through a whisky museum. It was quite fun and interesting.
Since I didn't have any whisky in my bar for a while I got myself some and decided to give unofficial bottlings a go. The nice thing is that you find plenty of interesting stuff that you wouldn't get from the distillery directly.

I've been particularly impressed with a Caol Ila. 11yrs old, 1st fill Sherry casks, cask strenght at 59% alc vol., non-chill-filtrated and of course no caramel added.
The combination of peat with the Sherry cask maturation and the cask strength that allows for a good amount of water to be added is incredible. It's the richest and most varied taste and smell I've ever gotten from a whisky. Over the course of an hour it keeps changing but is always downright delicious, and I'm not usually one to call a hard spirit delicious.

Independent bottlings are well worth a try. They don't have to worry about providing a steady product with little variation over the years. You instead get a carefully selected barrel or a couple, three in the case of the Caol Ila for example, which you won't get anymore the next time around. But there will be something else that's interesting.
You can also get whisky as a proper single malt from destilleries that don't usually sell their whisky directly. It's interesting to get a whisky that usually goes directly to Chivas Regal as a part of one of their blends but on it's own and properly matured by the bottler.
Give it a go.

Ha, paper bag. Until Islam takes over we can drink openly.
