Whiskey thread! (K-18)

**temeteus82** · Mar 17, 2007, 09:33 PM

Hi!

Since most of you guys in here are over 18 I would like to start this Whiskey thread since I know some of you are from the areas where it's made.

So what Whiskeys you like and enjoy ??

For me its : Laphroaig, The Famous Grouse and Tullamore Dew.

you can hire me as your drunken 14 year old pet for £35 a night, bargain!

Jameson Whiskey (Dublin) - motto ''without fear'

Edit: On a linguistic front, If the liquor is from Scotland then it's spelt Whisky (no 'e'). This is due to the different pronounciation of 'water' when spoken in gaelic.

**Mousey** · Mar 17, 2007, 09:45 PM

nobody gonna hire me then?
my costs don't include drink rental, if you want to see me drunk it's up to
you to bring your own booze ;p

Glenfiddich for me. One bottle at christmas every year. Its usually what I give my Dad on fathers day and its a drink we like to shar occasionally.

Dowaco · Mar 18, 2007, 06:53 PM

Learning more about this.

It seems the entire English speaking world says Scotch to mean Scotch whiskey except in the UK where they simply say Whisky to mean scotch whiskey.
I personally cannot stand the taste of scotch and prefer rye whiskey or bourbon.

There is a time for whiskey and a time for gin, rum or vodka (or all three). Tequila is another liquor I cannot drink.

mike2h · Mar 18, 2007, 07:30 PM

no to be rude but those r not the good stuff. both r main stream mass produced whiskys. your opinion of them is an entirely different matter of course

crown royal does have a reserve bottling that is tasty...
my list - knob creek, caol ila(any), jameson 16yr malt, lagavulin, balvenie(any but especially their port & dbl wood).

niceguyrichy · Mar 21, 2007, 04:14 PM

well I won't bore anyone with anything too preachy (aside from mike none of you guys would know a decent quality whisky if it smacked you in the face

), but if it's just something you can buy in a supermarket or some such, then its gotta be Lagavulin. recently I've been enjoying a ltd ed Edradour, and of course me old faithful single cask bottling from a long defunct distillery that was bottled the year I was born (and is the nicest single malt I've ever tasted. which is a shame, cos there ain't another bottle of it in the world

)
you guys should have look around Royal Mile whiskies , they do some pretty rare stuff and they really know what they're talking about

mike2h · Mar 21, 2007, 04:35 PM

nice site. ty.
your are hell bent on getting me in trouble with the wifey.

SFOSOK · Mar 21, 2007, 06:39 PM

Johnny Walker >>>>>>>>>>>Jack

When I did drink Jack it never tasted like how whiskey should.

that's cos Jack is a Tennessee whiskey rather than a straight forward bourbon, it's made differently. it's also absolutely fucking vile.

mike2h · Mar 21, 2007, 07:46 PM

i still dont understand how come so many people think it is great whisky. especially when the american alternative is bourbon & there r quite a few good ones available. marketing i guess.
i agree with your 'vile' assesment.

I'll drink most things at a push, but there are 2 things that I won't drink full stop; tennents lager and JD. they are both too foul to ever contemplate putting in your mouth. it's like when you were young and single and out on the pull, there were always a couple of girls that you knew no matter how drunk you got, you still wouldn't touch em with a pole. same goes for T and JD

(so glad I saved that smilie in photobucket

don't know why craig hasn't added it yet

)
