Here it is, a little earlier than planned, but no less devious for it :twisted:

Firstly, 10 points available for anagrams.

sad mate glen

glen idol

two unfit glens fond of

rustic glen as hoof ikon

until loons fad glenglen

car snag fell

bra niche

early ugly ron

clan hero gig

enamel gringo

Now for the awkward bit:
I am posting the following pictures (with thanks to Teun for many), each will lead to the name of a distillery.
Take the letter I ask for from each distillery name and together, the letters will form the name of another distillery.
(This is not an anagram, the letters form the distillery name in order!)
(For example, if you identify Oban and I ask for the 2nd letter, you have a 'B' towards the extra distillery)

OK here goes:

Image 3rd letter

Image 7th letter

Image 5th letter

Image 4th letter

Image 1st letter

Image 2nd letter

Image 1st letter

Image Last letter

Image 7th letter

Image 4th letter

Image 4th letter

It's 1 point for each anagram, one for each picture id and a further point for getting the missing distillery name, which means 22 in all.
PM me your answers so that the quiz remains open to all.

Have fun.

This is proving to be quite difficult... especially the first 5 anagrams! :shock:

I think I have worked out 8 of the picture clues tho... and hopefully have enough to work out the other distillery the letters from them make up! :roll:

Make that 9 now... but I am still struggling with the first 5 anagrams so maybe I've done as much as I possibly can! :roll:

Bruce, I will soon run for the hills and hide as I will be saying "You asked for this" :whistling:

I know I asked for it and am glad I did... especially as I just worked out another anagram! :D

Oh dear, is this really so hard that nobody can guess anything?
Not a single reply as yet and only a day and a half left for entries.

Don't be shy, even if you can only guess one or two you'll get a whisky point or two, don't let Bruce run away with this!



Whisky points (from the first quiz) so far are:
Bruce 21 points
Criva 19 points.

As you said Keith, there is still time for people to get their entries in... I'm going to leave it to the last minute to see if I can work out the last few anagrams (not that I am expecting too much from myself! :?)

I'm just about to send in my answers... but still with 4 anagrams unsolved (tho one with the letters changed around a bit!) and 2 of the photo answers are guesses; so the maximum I think I will get is 16, but even that is being optimistic! :roll:

Answers later.

Methinks that could be an understatement; 4 points lost due to not looking... err... I think I'll leave that unfinished until others have submitted their answers! :whistling:
