Default Re: Whiskey's - What else is good ?

If you like leapfrog (laphroig) there's no hope for you, it's just alcoholic 3-in-1 oil

I love Talisker... It's got a bit more bite to it than most scotch, a wee bit irish in a lot of ways, which is a good thing. My dad's a big macallan man (he's in their fan club) but it's always seemed a wee bit insipid to me, it's nice enough but there's no fire in it. I like fire.

To be honest I'd be as happy with Jamesons as I would with any expensive scotch...

That's the japanese distillery isn't it? (googles. Yes). I've never tried any of theirs, but I bet it's pretty good!

Yep it japanese, meant to not bad, they use to advertise it as 'produced in Scotland', and got caught out, so changed the name of the town the distillery was in to Scotland, job done

Whisky is distilled in Scotland

Whiskey (with an e) is distilled in Ireland.

Please get it right.
Cheers Lozzo, I've always wondered about that!!

My honeymoon was spent going around the distilliers of Scotland. Funny how exhubby turned into an alcoholic.
