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... ;) 

Been on a three day bender

Some says it taste too boozy. Well, I like booze so wtf! It's a damn solid rocking ale!

Others in the mix:

Sam Adams 13th aHour and New World Both tasty desert beers. Kinda prefer the later as its a decent interpretation of the treples I had when I lived in Belgium.

Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye -- fuck fucking yeah me innered hopshead is dur happy!

also, Expresso Stout, heyzy louiz nice. Taste like chewing on a coffee bean while quaffing anchovies. A Jap beer and very nice. 

Can't keep eyes open now... 

 

Note to self: do not attempt to act wiseguy on func when drowzy and slightly hungover 

That's the way its done. 

I'll spam this thread, instead, because its a GREAT idea.

Triple distilled jamesons is the new doom.

But maybe I should have gone out and talked to real people, not mappers, as my leaving do. 

nuff said. 

wow... some friends of mine are at home tonight, and we opened a bottle of "lirette" (North East of France typical wine like bottle). This is roughly mirabelle-made liquor mixed with non-fermented wine (almost grappe juice.. though..) It is 17.5% alcohol, very sweet, that makes you drunk even faster as quite easy to make it "vanish" away..
We were 4 (2 wives and my friend...) and we "killed 2 bottles... but wives didn't drink... so... :S
I can let you imagine the headache I already have now :P
Time to go to bed now, no vomit I promise :) 

Does anyone know about blends?

Teacher's Highland Cream is nice for a blend. I'm currently slowly tasting myself through various blends.

This guy has reviews of lots of whiskies. He's fun to watch as well. 

Ha, I knew it'd be ralfy! I think I stumbled upon his reviews after spending too much time on /r/scotch.

I'll check out the Teacher's, thanks. Recently in blends I've been ordering the odd dram of Monkey Shoulder. It's pretty good. 

I am drunk and I'm posting in the drunk thread. Good night out in manchester watching Mega Ran. Who's Mega Ran? Here you go kiddos -
