There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

If you'd like a highland, un-pleated malt, then you'd have to go a long way to beat the Macallan, but if you prefer a fuller flavoured, salty, peaty nip, then Islay is the place to go! Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Bowmoreand Bunnahabhain are widely available, but Caol Ila or Finlaggan are worth looking for. All have their multi-thousand pound 'rare' editions, but the various cask strength, high street versions are fine by me 
As regards 'mixers', the only mixer is a little cool, not cold, water. This is fine if you have cast strength 55-80% alcohol by volume whiskies, as it allows the flavour out without masking it. Though, of course, most whisky in high street stores is already watered down to 40% anyway! For those who want a longer drink, you can follow Winston Churchill's example of a whisky and water, but for God's sake stick to a blend if you're going to do that... Famous Grouse counts both the Macallan and Highland Park amongst its ingredients and mixed with water it's rather refreshing! If you really must have ice, can I suggest that there are plenty of whiskey varieties with an 'e' that you might prefer ;-)
