single shot size................

Northern Ireland = 35ml

England = 25ml

drink doubles over here and enjoy :)

The 'norm' in English independent pubs has been 35ml since 2004, though curiously, doubles remain at 50ml. Well, in the Cambs/Essex area at least - I've not run a pub elsewhere, and I sure don't count my drinks when I'm away from home ;)

My hipflask does actually contain Talisker 10yo at the minute so I'd go with that :)

Good man! :) tis a great dram!

I'm gonna cadge a second flask from a mate I think and take the Talisker and some slow gin! :)

I've got a really nice second flask but it's ceramic and was a gift so really don't want to bust it up on the hill or in the wood!

I use the bottle from a Volcano stove for a 'man size' hip flask for longer trips out.

About 700ml :eek:...

I am afraid I have to admit to 4 hipflasks.

Scapa 16 year old
Singleton 12 year old
Macallan 10 year old
and three year old home made slow gin.

That Scapa really is the best malt I have ever tasted.

I wouldnt have thought one hipflask would hit the spot? It'd just wet my appetite for more.

Been on the wagon since nov 2011 :(

My local's 35ml. Has been for as long as I can remember.

My tipple of choice at the moment is penderyn Madeira cask. Cracking stuff.
