Mostly Whisky and Beer Anagrams

Some of these really aren't very good. (Should I blame alcohol for that?) They're just a bit of fun to remember some good drinks by.

This is not the world of the raging drunk:

To go on a bender = 'God! Beer at noon?!'
Or
Drinking to excess = Corks exit ends.
Or
Binge drinkers ~ drink beers, gin, ...

It's the realm largely of the beer or whisky bore who laments 'It's all lager & alcopops these days...'

(All lagers and alcopops = Local lads plan a grope.)
But, above all, my hope is that it's a warm and flavoursome world.

Single-malt whisky

Gordon & MacPhail = Plain good charm.

Ardbeg Islay malt = Balm aids greatly.

Bowmore Enigma = Amber wooing me.

Beg: "Oh, buy us a _real_ drink!"
"What?"
~ "Get Aberlour A'bunadh whisky."

and
Drink. Gab the blue hours away. -
Get Aberlour A'bunadh whisky.

Thirsty? Real weak? Glass empty? Why not drink a scotch? =
Sip a twenty-year-old Mortlach whisky (cask strength).

The Glenlivet, American Oak Finish = Heighten main flavor in elite cask.
(US spelling, for obvious reasons)

Laphroaig = 'Hi, oral gap!'

Dalwhinnie Scotch Whisky = Whine "a kind which's costly".

The Glendronach Sherry Cask = "Clean cherry red! Gosh, thanks!"

And an Irish one:

If the latter beer hasn't scared you away, you might consider this drink:

And for anyone who's had enough to drink that the late-night junk-food kiosk looks attractive:

I'll drink to that...
She drinks a toast = So it's tankards, eh?

For those who prefer a non-alcoholic tipple, tea might be on the menu.

Black or green doesn't matter:
