Someone bought me a bottle of Grants a couple of weeks ago. Mind you his excuse is he's English and doesn't know any better.
My mum's not a whisky drinker but she should still have known better :rolleyes:

I'm going to shut up now :D
Oh I see :D

Well, after three huge babies it ought to be like Mary Poppins carpet bag but I struggle to get a weeks shopping in it now so I think it's improving.
 
Yes, I try not to smell/drink etc like the characteristic Torry types & years of travelling about & mixed-up schooling have taken a toll on both our accents. :)

Just got her a bottle of Doublewood Balvenie for christmas so I'll undoubtedly be able to report on its quality soon! :D

Ice is whisky is wrong, and every time you put ice in a malt god kills a kitten.

Just so you know.

Thank you!

I couldn't believe the whole ice business had gone unchallenged! :mad:

WRONG!

It's 40% and it's the bog standard 12 year old one. My tastebuds had been numbed by the cold, and the bottle of holsten pils + dounle Jamesons I had consumed earlier. Once I regained my taste sensation, I realised that this whisky is wonderfully floral and fruity, with a kind of creamy body, maybe a bit of a salty and fruity aftertaste, and a lingering vanilla bitterness... Maybe I'm talking out of my arse but that's what it tastes like to me.

In fact I'm sure there's elderflower in there.

I'm getting a whiff of hollyhocks...

The whisky makers would have it otherwise BTW, most are more than happy to see folk treat it with less reverence & mix it up with any-old shite. Blackcurrant even! :eek:
 
I went for a bottle of Macallan.

First reaction: "Cor, yum, smells of sherry, you can tell it was made in sherry casks".

Second reaction: "This doesn't taste of anything, should have got the Glenlivet".

Third reaction: "Oh my god, what an amazing buttery aftertaste, it's Christmas in a glass."


NB I add a LOT of water to my whisky. I don't really like the taste of alcohol and it was the discovery that it was ok to dilute whisky in quite a major way that turned me onto it.

The ice (non) question.

I refer people to my old poll

Ithangyew.


ill fight you in the bar, ill fight you at a house party, ill fight you in the kitchen, if i want ICE i have some god darn ICE...

or i will have with out.. not fused really
 
I generally drink Islay malts, have moved towards Arbeg recently but prob still pick Laphroaig as my favourite, was asked to get my brother in law a bottle of Edradour for Xmas so have done - looking forward to trying that later (although he's in Australia at the moment so it will be a little later before I get the chance) :cool: :D
 
Took the Macallan out with me yesterday and it is now no more :(

On the bright side, gives me the excuse to buy something else :)

I thought the Macallan was lovely but a little bit boring, in a Rolls Roycey sort of way, compared to the Glenlivet I had last year which seemed to me to have a few more straws in its hair. What can I get that's got a bit more character?

It may be a blend, but you have to try it before you make a comment about it ;)
