Whiskey's - What else is good ?

[pegasus]

Highland Park

or you could do the Essex Lounges tour of scotland this year, i believe we have at least 2 distilliries to visit on route so far.

Try them all and find one that suites your taste and pocket,drink it how YOU enjoy it.
Some people keep it in the freezer rather than add ice and as KG said certain brands benefit from a few drops of water to enhance the flavour,others don't gain any benefit
Each and every one of us has a different pallate and the fun is in finding which one is your personal choice
I have friends who prefer the "E's" as against Scotch and there are nice Irish Whiskeys as nice Scotch-----Just enjoy the experimenting
N.B. 45years on and I can still find ones I have not tried so be prepared for a loooonnnggg tasting
session

Isle of Jura Single Malt Whisky , I had a nice bottle of the 18 year old variety and was smooth as silk and had a nice Peaty taste to it . I went to the distillery when I was on Jura about a decade ago and tried some very nice Whiskys whilst I was there , tried a few ones from Islay but prefer the Jura . At a friends wedding over a year ago I tried a bottle of Whisky that came in a Green box and was about £50 a bottle . It smelt like rubber , was like drinking warm baby oil it was so smooth and the taste was something else , cannot remember for the life of me what it was called , but it was GOOD .

Has no-one mentioned Talisker yet? Bowmore is very good too.

Everybody is going down the single malt road but try some of the better blends
Chevas Regal,Crawfords 5star,Dimple Haig and the Blue or Green Johnnie Walker if you are rich enough. Most good blended whisky is made up by a combination of younger malts and the famous distilleries[i.e.Talisker,Pitlochry,in fact nearly all]make their major profit from supplying malt for blending.
Avoid the ones with Chinese writing

Both stocked in my cupboard and both very nice....

Personally I enjoying a single lump of ice slowly melting in the glass, just gently swill the glass before you take a sip.

Dalwhinnie is by far one of the smoothest I have ever tried.

"Santa" gave me a 15year old Glenfiddich, lovvverrrrly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finished my Bowmore the other day and still pondering what to open next.

The manager of my local is promising to buy in bottles of Laphroaig cask strength for me. At present I have to make do with the watered down version.

As a kid in the 70s my mother would serve viennetta ice cream puddings. We learned from an accident when dad spilt some of his Highland Park on his, how much better pudding tasted. So it is now a family tradition if anyone serves viennetta. Out comes the bottle.

Whisky flavoured ice cream is EXCELLENT and I can also recommend in the marmalade
