Whiskey

[medwayjon]

For my fellow whiskey lovers,

I am after something a little special, money no object within the bounds of sensibility.

My stock malts are Talisker, Highland Park and The Macallan to give you an idea of what I like, as for blends I drink Johnnie Walker Black & Blue Label and J & B.

Any recommendations welcome, just fancy a special dram for a special occasion.

Hi..you can't go wrong with a 15yo Glenmorangie or if you can get it some cellar 13 Glenmorangie or if you like something with a lot of peat try coila from the isle of Sky..

Jon, I am offended.


You are saying you are a love the water of life but you have spelled it wrongly TWICE.

Me and my fookin americanised english eh!

Just had a look on the WHISKY exchange and they have a special anniversary edition of blue for £2000! Think that is a bit over budget somehow.

Re: !!Re: Whiskey

My regular favourites are Laphroaig and Talisker - which I'll happily knock back by the bucketful. But if you want to try something a bit more "special" you could try one from Royal Lochnagar. Even some of the older ones aren't too pricey for a special occasion

Or one from Lagavulin.

Oh f**k, you've got me drooling now.... Where's the car keys - I need to drive to Scotland. (Oh, you lucky, lucky, people - the home of whisky and golf. What more could you need)

You should try a 15 yr old Midleton Whiskey from Cork Ireland.

I had a bottle of Glen Garioch but gave it to my brother in law as a present. The tight bugger has still to open it and that was TWO years ago !!!!!!!!

Re: !!Re: Whiskey

I have a nice bottle of 15 year old Bruichladdich, 2nd edition, on the shelf just now and they do some really nice stuff.

They even have some nicely packaged "golf" editions;-

Have a look at this, Jon

This is what I selected in the end, should be very enjoyable I hope.

MWJ - enjoy! A comfy chair, a decent glass (good malt always deserves a good quality glass), feet up, and savour.......

Re: !!Re: Whiskey

Had a bottle of personalised Talisker presented to me some time ago, the whisky may be long gone but I kept the bottle -

Re: !!Re: Whiskey

Glenlivet 18!!!

Re: !!Re: Whiskey

I second Lagavulin.

 

[Quiet_Whisky]

Im a fan of the 16 year old Lagavulin.

A superb blend is an 18 year old Chivas. Very smooth and palatable.

Malt wise; Bruichladdich 15 year old is a strong favourite, another which is slightly less well known which I often find myself pouring into a glass with two lumps of ice is a Glen Dronnach, an Aberdeenshire delight. Scapa is another which gives a fine after taste.

 

[grumpyjock]

Do not realy like the smell or taste of the stuff, reminds me of the hot toddies I was forced to take as a sprog.
Have a Bottle of good stuff I bring out on Burns night to toast the Haggi.
Will look and post it here.
