this is horrible there have only been 6 posts in this thread since I last posted more than one year ago. Are we getting lame, clean, or just dead?

BTW TY Ricky, we can always count on you! 

Nearly as much anymore. I don't like hangovers and I need to drink more water as it is. 

.. people are so drunk they cannot post here after the party ;) 

dawn, I've drunk to much and I mapped for 2 hours! iek 

my russian 's much better, definitely

I am done... Those BT events are awesome, and Canadian Beers kill me... holy Shit I really need a shower, and go to bed. Jetlag + beer = bad medicine :P

Ogre> you know why mortals never reach maximal brew?
They can't stand maximum health! 

 

I never really got excited about single malt during the 7 years I lived in Scotland, which I massively regret, because nowadays it's one of my absolute favourite things.

I'm back at my family home now, and my main cause of excitement is that there's a log fire here, and I can drink beside it.

My preference is that my drink tastes about the same as the fire smells. Currently have a bottle of Lagavulin 16, a Laphroaig 10 and also a Highland Park 12 on the shelf. Usually Islay is the region for me but I really like HP12 as an all-rounder, on the rare occasions I don't want to drink liquid peat.

Favourite whiskies are really the Ardbegs though. Ardbeg 10 is rock solid, but the Uigeadail is the best single malt I've ever tasted. Cask strength and sherry casks is a winner of a combination, it's just the spiciest, richest dram.

Other than those, there's loads of stuff I like from the region, Caol Ila, Bunnahabhain, etc. Elsewhere in particular I'm a big fan of Jura and Dalwhinnie.

Does anyone know about blends? I'd like to add a cheaper bottle or two to the shelf I can drink and not make a dent on the serious stuff. Anyone tried Black Grouse? I'm interested in how a peated blend like that would work out. 

Is nice. Tastes like smoked seaweed.

Glenmorange is good as well.

I'd be more informative, but I'm halfway through a bottle of William Lawson.

It's a blend, and a pretty nice one - smoky like a wet bonfire. 

haven't killed he bortle yet. People keep wocialising. This thread is a terrible ideq btw 

that drunk spelling is too perfect. That bottle is getting the job done nicely it appears :) 

Smokey! I had a bottle of that stuff once. Really strong smoky taste, I would pull it out at partys just to watch people shuddering after taking a shot. 

 

yea, i'm fan of single malts, agreed with all you mentioned.
try irish connemara, very nice peaty soft single. and don't miss classic macallan, one of the best whiskeys. and i'd recommend not peaty auberfeldy, very nice flower aromas and overal taste. but u probably tried it all :)

as for the blends, not sure about black grouse, i remember it didn't impress me much, but good old chivas 18 is very nice, not so peaty ofc, but still. and Jameson Special Reserve 12yr old i tried recently was very nice as well, not peaty tho. 

...Since you're talking mainly Scotch, but if you ever feel like givin' Bourbon a spin, I'd suggest you try Booker's Full Proof. I'm in the process of drying up my wife's collection and it's really something... 

Silent, thanks, happy to get some Bourbon suggestions. That Booker's sounds like I'd love it based on the reviews I just googled! Looks like I'd struggle to find anywhere I could go give it a taste though - can't even find it on sale in our fair British Isles.

Vondur, never tried connemara but it sounds superb. It's on sale at TheWhiskyExchange.com right now too, hmmm......

As for the Jameson... turns out I may possibly not understand irish wkiskey that well. Your mention made me dig out the Jameson Gold bottle I got as a gift. I had drunk some before, and didn't think much of it, but I tried it again last night and it's actually quite interesting and complex. The triple casking (boubon/sherry/virgin) seems to be working wonders. Glad you mentioned Jameson, this might be a good road into irish whiskey! 

...glad you find my suggestion useful! I'm not that big a connoisseur, but this one seems a long way ahead from the rest.

And, right now there are 2 auctions going on EvilBay that may get you the golden loot... ;)
