Launched, I like your style, sir!
Ever drink scotch? I've been getting into it a bit and recently had some Balvenie 14 year Caribbean Cask... matured in casks formerly used to make Rum.
Let's just say it didn't last too long.
Okay to cover.

    Pipe smoking. I am building a rather nice collection, up to 11 now, including a couple of Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cobs which are pretty hard to get over here in the UK. Only the 'Legend' is available but what I really want is the Country Gent!! I always like to have at least 5 tobaccos in rotation, all of them bespoke, no dirty newsagents/supermarket brands for me.

    Football and Coronation Street are pretty much the only things I watch on TV these days. Oh yea, Wingin' It and Scooby Doo as well.

    Read an absolute ton of autobiographies this year. The most boring was Keith Richards (yes, we know you do drugs). Drug bores are the worst, aren't they? The best was 'Who On Earth Is Tom Baker'. The funniest book I have read for a long time.

    And generally doing as little as possible. And wanking.

Talisker, nice, has a slight smoke to it.
Glenlivet, my favourite is the 12 yo with a cabernet finish.
Jura, honey tones and nice and mellow by an open fire.
Lagavulin, quite peaty and can be a bit antisieptic tasting and takes a while to get into but worth
Laphroig, another peaty gem and requires practice.
Auchentoshen, ORH's local distilery and very refined

these are what I have in my cupboard at the moment.

Love me some Lagavulin. Haven't had the Laphroig, its next on the list.
Seems like every time I get a new one, I try it, and think, "eh, its okay..." Then the next time i drink it I love it.
Okay to cover.
