Whiskey's - What else is good ?

[fizzwheel]

I've never been a big whiskey drinker, I had a spell of drinking JD when I was younger, but lost the taste for it.

Liz's dad had me drinking 10 year old Bushmills over christmas and I started to get the taste for it, well I did get taste for it as we polished off a bottle and half between the two of us.

I bought some Laphroig the other day and I liked that to, I liked all the different flavours in it, but I cant drink alot of it in one go, I like to drink it slowly and get the taste of it.

I bought some Glenmorangie today as somebody at work told me I should try that next, so I'll have some of that a bit later on.

I dont really know what I'm buying or what I should be looking for, somebody told me single malts are best and to stay away from cheapie stuff, bells etc etc.

All the stuff I've tried so far is 10 year old single malts, is that a good place to start ?

Single Malt.

Scotch.


And no kiddie-fiddling - nothing under the age of 10 thank you very much.

Glenfiddich Solera Reserve.
Oban 14yr old.

My particular favorites - Glenmorangie, Port Wood Finish or Millennium Malt.

i cant stand the stuff............ JD and coke is ok. but neat it just tastes like petrol

I like Laphroig (sp?) neat. No ice, nothing. Not keen on cheap whiskey, it's a waste of money.

I found that its better neat espcially if you dont take a great big gulp of it and just take smaller sips and then you get all the flavours of it.

I agree with Ed, cheap whiskey is horrible and thats all I've ever tried in the past.

My favourite is Glen Ord, but it's hard to find these days. I'm into a Welsh Whiskey at the mo, Penderyn. Scrummy.

Oh heck, just noticed the time, supposed to be picking up Evie at 10. Bye!

I find the Laphorig 10 a bit overwhelming, the 15 is a lot mellower and easier to drink.

Cragganmore is another one I like, its quite light and goes down very easily, or Glenmorangie.

I tried some Bunnahabhain 25 year old, that was nice although too pricey for the bottle.

Check out http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/ they have a nice warehouse in Acton, they let me wonder around for a while. Very nice people, with more whisky than you could ever drink.

Is it cool, I liked the peaty taste and the iodine from the seaweed as well, but I found the 10 yr old a bit fierce...

Beer... A nice local brew... yummy lip crisp and hoppy... Yum

Can I just point out a common error that everyone here has made

Whisky is distilled in Scotland

Whiskey (with an e) is distilled in Ireland.

Please get it right.
