In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......

[CO Hummer]

As I stated earlier, my new year's resolution is to figure out whiskey. Sure, I've had plenty of whiskey here and there over the years. But I wanna get more into and figure out (1) The best overall whiskey regarless of price, and (2) the best 'everyday' whiskey.

I started early in December and polished off bottles of Gentleman Jack, Maker's Mark, Jack Daniels Single Barrel, and Black Maple Hill (16yr version).

So far I'm partial to the Black Maple Hill, but it's the most expensive. I really like the JD Single Barrell too.

So tell me - What the best for version (1) and version (2)?

Here's my latest purchases this week:

[tower]

Definitely #2! Turkey 101 is best.

[DennisAJC]

My stock is running low.:D

Had a JW Red, Black and Blue but that all went bye bye last party. There's one in there worth $400 and it's almost gone.:crying:

Drank alot this month. Weird.

[timgco]

Kira drinks the JD stuff. I get headaches from that.

CROWN is the way to go for me if I'm out.

I think you need to clarify though...

Staight up? or mixed with coke or other beverage?

Straight up? or mixed with coke or other beverage?That says it all. No decent whiskey gets mixed. Already been at it, eh?

[lennyrebel]

After years of practice trust me Crown Royal is by far the best--never a headache or hangover just the dxmn best whiskey

On the rocks and nuthin else baby.:D

Sometimes with 7up or Coke but on only the rare times I feel fruity.

[DennisAJC]

:jump:

:fdance:

Seriously, on rare occassions when I'm socializing, CC&7 or Crown&Coke. Can't enjoy it's pure form when chit chatting during parties..

When I'm alone and completely melted in my chair, it's on the rocks. The proper way to enjoy da whiskey.

Right now.....On da rocks.:D

[CO Hummer]

I prefer just drinking the whiskey straight. No Coke. No Ice. I like it that way, and it seems the best way to truly differentiate the tastes.

I'm sipping some of the Wild Turkey right now. I have to say it's not too shabby. But there is a bit a medicinal taste to it that.

My next purchase is going to be a bottle of Crown Royal. I've never had that.

You drink it straight without ice???:twak:

I suppose you like to drink it straight out of the bottle too standing around a fire in a metal drum wearing wool mittens with the tips cut off?

You're soooooo white trash.:jump:

[DennisAJC]

The first sign of alchoholism: Do you drink alone? :beerchug: :giggling:

The only time I'm alone and enjoying a drink is between 11pm - 1am when everyone is finally tucked in. And normally during November and December for some reason. The rest of the year I don't drink that much. Like once or twice a month or unless there are guests or I'm travelling. It's weird I know.

I've had it all ways. But since I'm on a quest, I need to have it in it's purest form. :)

[DennisAJC]

Hahahaha! :jump:

I need to have it in it's purest form. :)

Then you need a single malt scotch. Tis liquid gold.

[DDWH]

I love the Jack...ice, no ice, or mixer....depends on the situation...then again I am a squire since age of 16, so I guess my grandfather destined me to the JD!:beerchug:

CO, when your done with the wiskey you need to do the T-Killyah....that's my new taste test!:jump:

[ssgharkness020147]

To fully enjoy the flavor of a good whiskey you are actually supposed to put a splash of water in it CO. It opens up the flavors fully, or something along those lines.
Crown is good stuff, about all I drink these days for whiskey.
Buy the entire Knob Creek line. Its goes (lowest to highest grade) Knob, Basil Haydens, Bakers (my fav), then Bookers (thats the occasional one).
Im not a big JD guy, but I like Beam Black label.

Are we moving to the Vodka now?:giggling:

Grey Goose is an excellent choice. I like Finlandia.

But of late, I've discovered the sweet and fruity taste of Absolut Pear.:D:D:D


I hope we don't start talking about Gin or Rum or other stuff. Wifey is getting angry at my picture taking.:giggling:

[Karsun]

Mmmm vodka! I like Absolut Citron. Bought a bunch of it and Baileys on the ship. I love Liquid Cocaine...vodka with Red Bull chasers.

[ssgharkness020147]

Vodka is what I'm drinking most times these days. The Goose has always been my favorite. Svedka (sp?) is always on hand for the boys.

[Big Dad]

Jimi Hendrix Vodka!

And, Knob Creek!

[DennisAJC]

Jimi Hendrix Vodka!

And, Knob Creek!

Hedrix Vodka!?!?! I want it!:D

Oh and I always keep a bottle of Belvedere Vodka in the freezer.:giggling:

It's not even New Years and the friggin thread has turned to Vodka!

I'm sticking to whiskey. I'm not giving high marks to Wild Turkey btw. I will, however, do my duty and finish the bottle. :jump:

Wild Turkey, haha, my first. Whew boy!:D


Hard liquors are fine and all but they taste like sh1t, whiskey specially- admit it.

I only drink on occasion

-but I have this bottle of Absinthe Edouard I have been looking forward to, after the pregnancy of course.:)

I really like the preparation ritual, controversy and mystery of it all. Plus you get to buy all cute little silver spoons and special glasses. It's still illegal here I believe, but only to sell it, not consume.

To fully enjoy the flavor of a good whiskey you are actually supposed to put a splash of water in it CO. It opens up the flavors fully, or something along those lines.

I just read that this past week. Nice article on Scotch wiskeys in the Continental Airlines mag.

[SnakeH2]

A good vodka by definition...Clear, no smell and no taste.


I've seen GG do terrible in taste tests, even those that swear it is their favorite and that they can tell the difference.

I like mine of the rocks with a twist. Citron is my favorite becuase the twist is built in.

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

Kira drinks the JD stuff. I get headaches from that.

CROWN is the way to go for me if I'm out.

I think you need to clarify though...

Staight up? or mixed with coke or other beverage?

never ever put anything in CR except maybe 1 ice cube...........

[wpage]

Best whiskey is FREE. Lets go see Frenzy's uncle. He's loaded;)

[Vettster]

After years of practice trust me Crown Royal is by far the best--never a headache or hangover just the dxmn best whiskey:iagree: :iagree: :iagree:

Crown is the absolute best thing to come out of Canada.
Damn, already to page 2.
Can't believe I didn't see this thread sooner.:D

[frenzy1]

Best whiskey is FREE. Lets go see Frenzy's uncle. He's loaded;)
Indeed, if you wanna travel to Belgium ! :D

[KenP]

But of late, I've discovered the sweet and fruity taste of Absolut Pear.:D:D:DThat sounds ghey.:p

I prefer plain old bruised vodka. Citron if I have to.

But you know my fav is SoCo and lime, finally moved completely away from Jager.

[CO Hummer]

finally moved completely away from Jager.

hahahaa! Jager.

We were just having a conversation about that the other day. I was saying that I never met an adult who actually bought that as a regular drink. All my life I've only seen it as a college drink, or a late night bar drink we're someone busts out the shots.

[ssgharkness020147]

Actually, I heard the Absinthe ban was recently lifted. But, I haven't looked in to it any further. I had a bottle and I'll be honest. It tastes like sh!t and doesnt do a damn thing except get you drunk.

[DennisAJC]

Why was it banned? If it was, it must be good. :D

Is that where they put a sugar cube in it and mix it with a silver spoon?

I think I saw Sutherland do that on Cold Mountain.

[bparker]

I heard that! I brought back 4 bottles from Russia last year and it was rough! I was glad to see the end of it once it was gone.

I dont think it needs to be banned as it really didnt do anything cool. Just a mellow drunk..

[KenP]

We ordered ours from Liquors de France.

It was banned because the worm wood is a hallucinagenic.

Europe just lifted the ban a couple of years ago.

There are different kinds, also. The first bottle we got was a great gift, but used a different wood and is legal in the US.

This second one is the real deal. You can even order old, original bottles that have been discovered over time.

The key is proper preparation so it won't taste bad.

[KenP]

Tonight on Nat Geo, Moonshine. After all, that's whiskey.

Hey, if it wasn't for prohibition, there may not be NASCAR.:jump:

Maybe I should send you some Virginia Lightning.

[KenP]

OK, nevermind. They keep talking about big business Virginia operations pulling in $50k a week. :eek:

[HummerHippy]

I started out with JD, then went to Wild Turkey, and have settled on Crown Royal. Very Smooth. Crown on the rocks. Very nice.

My buddy likes Basil Hayden, Bookers, and Bakers. A bit more expensive.

Absinthe sounds fun. It is the next thing to try. My favorite quote about it...

?Got tight last night on absinthe. Did knife tricks.? ?Hemingway

[CO Hummer]

So tonight I'm drinking good 'ol JD.

But this time I'm doing it ON THE ROCKS so Dennis doesn't consider me a hobo. :jump:

I also broke into the bottle of Jim Beam tonight. I'm not all that impressed. Maybe I'm just not a bourbon drinker. The sour mash is doing me some goooood though. :D :D

[CO Hummer]

I just took a 1 gallon bag and loaded it up with ice cubes from our upstairs fridge and put it in our downstairs freezer. Now I don't have to walk upstairs to get ice for my JD. I even bought plastic cups so I don't ever have to leave my basement or garage. :jump:

[CO Hummer]

Well.....I'm upgrading my inventory.

Here's today's purchases:

More purchases this week. I gotta have something to do while I'm in Texas. :D

I'm intrigued by Rye whiskey. At first it's a little standoffish, but I can see myself liking the pepper taste after a while. We'll see.

[ssgharkness020147]

Nice call on the Beam black. Your damn lucky you didnt wind up in a dry county down in Tx. :) How far are you from the local AA center? :D :beerchug:

Crown XR. hard to find, but worth every dollar. Just add 2 or 3 ice cubes!

If you cant find it in a local LQ, let em know... i know some people :D

But my next bottle is going to be George Dickels. I need to taste that other Tennessee whiskey.

I consulted the Orcale last night (Wikipedia) and she told me all about whiskey. :jump:

All I have to say on this subject is. . . . .

" If it's not Scottish it's Crap!"

I can't do it....

My favorite is Glenfiddich! But I can't call a full-glass of Knob Creek Kentucky bourbon on the rocks, with a water chaser -- crap!

Hell it still tastes good after the alcohol's been burned off! You know, pour some in a pan and burn the alcohol off. Then put what's left into BBQ sauce -- for pork ribs!

Don't give me any lip about alcohol abuse either! It's only abuse if there isn't enough for everyone to get their drink-on!

Damn, I'm getting thirsty! Hmmm.

Knob Creek is 100 proof. If I wanted to make rib jerky I'd baste them with it!

I think they'd turn out a wee bit on the "crispy critter" side after basting them in that much alcohol. I'll stick to what I know to be a proven recipe.

This is a topic that has been at the center of discussion for years at every Scottish dinner that I have ever attended - I have sat in front of big open fires all over the highlands over the years bashing this one out.

There is no right or wrong - its your personal choice.

But if I was to only drink one whiskey for the rest of my life it would have to be Balvenie 12 year old Doublewood - it goes down the throat like the Devil in velvet trousers.

www.balvenie.com (http://www.balvenie.com)

You cant go wrong with any of their products.

And on the subject of gin - there is only one option for me - being a colossal gin drinker - Hendricks Gin - made in Scotland - it is a cucumber based gin - serve it with Schweppes (the ONLY tonic that belongs anywhere near gin) with a slice of cucumber - not lemon.

Try it and get back to me - if you drink gin and have never drunk Hendricks then you are in for a treat.

[BKLYNH2]

Andy - That's funny , I just opened a bottle of Balvenie, 15yr single barrel yesterday. My first time trying it, usually drink Talisker or Macallans. It was some fine whiskey. :D

I'm going to a tasting tonight where there will be some very high end whiskey's to chose from. Anybody have any recommendations?

Pretty much all the higher end Speyside single malts are good - but look at the Islay single malts as well - Ardbeg 17 year old being a favourite of mine - a fine smokey peat flavour.

Not CO, tho. Yarn fibers are probably messing with his senses.

It takes years of extensive research, travelling, tasting and falling over.

I think my problem is that I have probably tasted the nirvanna of whisky but unfortunately have no recollection of actually drinking it - thats the problem with tasting sessions - to be honest after the first couple its like feeding strawberries to donkeys - you have no idea what you are drinking.

Ah well the research continues.:D :D

I drank Crown last night. Alot of it. Then I couldent sleep, and now I've hit the wall. This sucks.

I drank George Dickel and a little Beam Rye last night. Quite a contrast between rye & bourbon whiskey. I like both.



Actually......I'm liking the whiskey so much that I can hardly drink congac anymore unless is REALLY good XO stuff.

Andy inspired me to get the Balvenie 12 yr Doublewood.

I also found this stuff in my old liquor stash in the kitchen. I believe I was gifted it in the late 90s. I looked it up on line and I think it's over $100/bottle. It was made in 1980, 18yr old.

So I started the night with some good 'ol #7 JD. As usual, very sweet and good.

Then I moved on to the Balvenie 12 yr Doublewood. Not to shabby. However, I haven't developed the taste for Scotch yet. I'm partial to Bourbon & Tennesse whiskey at this point.

Next was some Jameson, my first real attentive approach to Irish whiskey. I gotta say......I LIKED it, alot. I'm gonna have to pursue the Irish a bit more.

I'm finishing the evening by downing the last of my Wild Turkey 101 (not the Rye in the picture). I'm just not sold on WT. I can't get the idea of it tasting like medicine out of my head.

I personally like Bushmills Irish whisky - can't remember which one but I think it was a special reserve that was the best - I will check when I get out of these mountains - up here doing the Bear Grylls survival thing - wandering around aimlessly during the day and drinking heavily whilst eating steak and lobster at night.

[CO Hummer]

I dedicated the weekend to Scotch and Irish Whiskey. In a few short days I've been able to gain a much greater appreciation for good scotch. I definitely like the Balvenie Doublewood. Andy C - great recommendation.

Irish Whiskey, with it's triple distillation process, is really smooth and enjoyable. But I know I've really only scratched the surface with generic brands like Jameson and Tullamore Dew. More to come on that.

[KenP]

[CO Hummer]

Tonight, it's time for a little Dickel. Don't get me confused with Adam. I'm talking about the whiskey here.

[CO Hummer]

Tonight's early selection was a Glenlivet 12 yr Scotch at dinner. It went well with Sushi.

Now, I'm trying to finish off a small bottle of Early Times I bought last week. I've certainly had better bourbon than this. But, you can't win everytime and I will do my duty to drink it to the dregs. :D

[ssgharkness020147]

Good move. Stay away from the Early Times.
Thompsons is what burned me out on whiskey. The bar across the street had Makers, JD, and Thompsons. By the time I started venturing over that way I had already burned myself out on JD, so that was out of the equation.
Makers was only served straight up, thats all fine and well but when I'm trying to get drunk its not possible to drink that much whiskey straight up. Also, you were not allowed to shoot Makers. :confused:
That left Thompsons.... I have alot of vague remberences' of nights while drinking that stuff like it was going out of style. I lost it one time too many, ever since whiskey has just not been the same. :crying: I'm hoping that one day my gag reflex will go away, I tried to force myself through it by drinking more whiskey. That was a very bad idea.

I've only had one tasting of the Evan Williams. But it was VERY good.

Last night at dinner had a Woodford Reserve and then some Knob Creek. I definitely preferred the Woodford, but both were good. Actually, I haven't yet had something 'bad'. But I'm not that fond of Wild Turkey since it tastes a bit like medicine to me.

Tonight's medley (in small quantities, of course).........

(1) Balvenie Doublewood - Unbelievably good. I've come full circle on Scotch, as evidenced by my purchases lately. Now I can't turn away from a single malt on sale. I'm pursing Scotch from each of the regions (Highlands-multiple, Lowlands, Islay, Campbelltown, etc).

(2) Crown Royal - Excellent, but Canadian whiskey just isn't the same after getting into the single malt Scotches. I still ove the CR because it is so smooooth.

(3) Next, I'm going for the Glenfiddich 12 yr. I've read where this is #20 in overall scotch sales throughout the world and #1 among single malts. That doesn't mean it's the best, of course. The price point is pretty good on this one and the scotch is excellent.

I have many bottles I haven't yet touched. The one I'm most excited about is the Laphraoig since I'm told it's the strongest and "nastiest" of all the scotch whiskys. Sounds like a good challenge as an acquired taste.

A couple weeks ago in a Sushi restaurant in Manhattan, I had some unbelievable 18-yr Jap whiskey (not surprisingly, I can?t recall the name of the whiskey or the restaurant, though the latter was about a mile or two from the Intercontinental/Barclay and was in a big mall with a Borders bookstore. Interestingly, the 12-yr of the same whiskey tasted like crap, but the 18-yr was amazing. As I keep writing, I realize that I am adding nothing to the discussion.

:(:(:(Its a sad day when the pursuit of the best whisky turns to Japan. This is a major sore point with the Scots - we support the American attempts at Whiskey - because lets face it the tradition of making good whisky was brought there by the Scots and the Irish originally - but Japan - WTF do they know about the tradition of whisky making - they took an age old tradition and bastardised it to mass produce the crap that they call whisky. Hell we have whisky that is still maturing in barrels that is older than the original 1929 "whisky" that they produced.

I am not anti Japanese by the way - but I am against wankers attempting to copy the traditions of generations.

One of the reasons that Sean Connery (in fact pretty much the reason) is not actually welcome in Scotland is because he became the face of Suntory Whisky - believe me he was ripped to shreds in Scotland for that traitorous act.

There are over three hundred fine Single Malt Whisky's from Scotland to choose from - you guys haven't even scratched the surface yet - dont f##k with a heritage and tradition that goes back further than before we even knew Japan existed.

I'm doing some calculations now... 300 scotches, at $50/bottle avg = $15,000. Less $700 already spent. Great! I've still got $14,300 to go!

[DennisAJC]

:(:(:(Its a sad day when the pursuit of the best whisky turns to Japan. This is a major sore point with the Scots - we support the American attempts at Whiskey - because lets face it the tradition of making good whisky was brought there by the Scots and the Irish originally - but Japan - WTF do they know about the tradition of whisky making - they took an age old tradition and bastardised it to mass produce the crap that they call whisky. Hell we have whisky that is still maturing in barrels that is older than the original 1929 "whisky" that they produced.

I am not anti Japanese by the way - but I am against wankers attempting to copy the traditions of generations.

One of the reasons that Sean Connery (in fact pretty much the reason) is not actually welcome in Scotland is because he became the face of Suntory Whisky - believe me he was ripped to shreds in Scotland for that traitorous act.

There are over three hundred fine Single Malt Whisky's from Scotland to choose from - you guys haven't even scratched the surface yet - dont f##k with a heritage and tradition that goes back further than before we even knew Japan existed.
:soapbox:

:beerchug:

LOLZ at the Japanese outrage.:D Scots still make the best whiskey IMO.

But to say one country can and one cannot is funny because the Japanese will eventually perfect the technique and go one better. And they do it with more discipline and cleanliness.

Sean Connery knows his whiskey. He's been exposed to the best and can afford the best.

For him to publicly say Japan makes a better whiskey must hurt in many ways.:jump:

I am sure of one thing though, when it comes to cars, electronics, fashion, sushi and sake, the Scots don't belong.

But them drunkies still make a wicked scotch.:jump:

[Andy C]

and they do it with more discipline and cleanliness.
Thats the problem right there - we do it with shag all discipline and cleanliness - its all about the love mate.

Canadian Whiskey and Other Whiskeys Around the World

Regardless of where this golden drink of the heavens originated, it has spread to all points of the globe. From Australia to Sweden, Turkey to Thailand, throughout Europe, Asia and North America, distilled grain and cereal mixtures have had an impact on the world.

The largest producer outside of the British Isles and the United States is Canada. The eleven distilleries of Canadian whiskey have produced blends that are popular worldwide. Many Canadian distilleries have direct connections with, or are owned by, Scottish distillers who recognized the potential in the New World.
One major distinction of Canadian distilleries is that often, whiskey is not their only product. Rum, vodka and other distilled spirits can be found among the list of quality products at a number of these Canadian locations. From Nova Scotia to British Columbia, however, the love of the Canadian Blended Whiskey has continued to grow and, in fact, has made this beverage one of the most popular imports around the world.
Whiskey in Japan

Surprisingly, Japan and other Asian countries have also developed a strong desire for whiskeys. In fact, Japan is the largest producer in the world outside of North America and the UK. Here, too, the connection to the Celtic distilling process can be found. The "father of Japanese whiskey," Masataka Taketuru, was actually the first Japanese to study the art of whiskey making at the University of Glasgow from 1918 to 1920. Masataka's talent did not occur by chance. His family had owned a sake brewery that had been producing quality rice wine since 1733. Not only was his experience in the Highlands a profound awakening for Masataka, but his choice of location for his distillery, in Yoichi, Hokkaido, mirrored in geography the Scottish town in which he had lived.

Masataka was later hired by Shinjiro Torrii to setup a whiskey company (now known as Suntory). At the time, few Japanese people drank whiskey at the time, but Torrii sought to create a whiskey that would reflect the customs and traditions of the Japanese. The most important factor was that the whiskey would not interfere with the flavor of Japanese cuisine. Torrii eventually succeeded, and his whiskey is now the most popular whiskey in Japan.

While Scotch whiskey is ideal when drunk alone, Japanese whiskey is ideal as a complement to food. Surprisingly enough, the world's largest whiskey distillery is not in Scotland or Ireland, but in Japan.
Worldwide Whiskey Wagon

While the top whiskeys in the world are Scottish, Irish, American and Canadian, other countries are hopping on the Whiskey Wagon. These include Australia, Chile, England, Italy, Jamaica, New Zealand, Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and even the unlikely locales of India and Pakistan.

What about the great Whiskeys of Idaho!:beerchug:

[Big Dad]

Ida stayed, if Idaho! :D

[CO Hummer]

So my flight is delayed and just wandered up to the airport bar in Newark, Terminal A. I see that the best scotch they have available is Macallan 12 Yr. I like that, so I just ordered one up. The bartender gives me the drink and says............

"That'll be $13.45"

:eek: :eek: :eek:
Bloody friggin hell! I can get a whole bottle at home for $33.

Oh well, sometimes you have to pay for ambiance. :jump:

[CO Hummer]

Well now I've had my flight delayed ANOTHER 2 hours. So I've made my way down to the bar next to the gate.

This bar has much better deals. Glenfiddich 12 year for $9. For an extra $3.00 you get a double. So now I have a monster glass of scotch for the low, low price of $12.40. :cool:

Tastewise.......I think the Macallan 12 beats the Glenfiddich12, hands down.

[CO Hummer]

While it's been a boring day at the airport........ I must say I'm enjoying the 2nd establishment much more.

Strange that I should run into Adam, Horace, and DRTY at the bar.

[Andy C]

Hahahaha!

Good God - the moment one of them comes out of the shower with a towel wrapped around their heads you boys want to bomb the sh1te out of them, but ooooh they may be making a decent whisky and defiling the historical traditions of one of the proudest countries that founded your great nation - oh thats alright is it - bastards.:mad::mad:

[CO Hummer]

I now have a weekly tradition to buy whiskey on Thursday nights. Here is the latest purchases.

Macallan 12 - While I already have some of this, I had to pick it up because it was on sale for $33/bottle. That is a steal!

Glenfiddich 18 - I love Glenfiddich 12, so I thought I would try my first 18 yr old in this line.

Speyside scotches are still my fav, but I have not tried from all regions. The next bottle I'm going crack open is my Laphroaig so that I can have my first Island whisky.

[Andy C]

I am heading back into the realms of whisky availability.

In Aktau this afternoon - it was a five hour near death experience of a drive to get here.

Next stop Baku in Azerbaijan - then Heathrow - I will send pictures of whisky drinking from there if I can.

And finally to Miami.

Have a safe trip, Andy! I'll be tipping back a dram or two for ya this evening. :D

[CO Hummer]

Picked up a bonus bottle today. I went to get my haircut and there's a liquor store right next to Cost Cutters. That ended up being a $70 Haircut. :jump: I'm told this is good Lowland single malt. I've yet to try something from the Lowlands.

[CO Hummer]

So tonight is my clean-up night where I'm trying to finish off a bunch of bottles that are low. I started with some Tullamore Dew early this afternoon. Just a little. My wife drank most of it because she hurt her finger and proceeded to pound the rest of my glass to aleviate the pain.

Next, I had a little Jack while working in the garage. This, of course, came out of my garage stock.

Since then, I've been sipping my bottle of JD Single Barrel. I just poured the last glass (don't worry, there is an unopened bottle in the back room).

After this, if I'm still standing, I will break into a bottle of Lafroaig which I've been waiting to try for a while now.

[CO Hummer]

Life is good. I'm relaxing in the garage with a cigar and some fine whisky. I deserve it because I just spent the last 8 hours painting around and filling gaps by the base boards, filling nail holes with putty, and doing general touch up painting.

But now I can say......My new addition/garage are DONE!

[CO Hummer]

Monday night's tradition is to buy whisky in Texas. :D Just had some of this tonight. Not bad! At first it seems very simple, but it's really more complex when you pay attention to it. This the best of the northern Highland scotches I've had thus far.

[CO Hummer]

Hahaha! Now that I look at that bottle I can see my evil face in it. Can ya see it? :jump:

[BKLYNH2]

Gosh yes! Your pretty scary when you drink. That is quite the hobby you have going there. I have to commend you on the fine effort you've made to familiarize yourself with almost every scotch known to man. I think you need to work on your comments though inorder to produce reports that would be more useful to the community. Maybe you could find a course or read a book on scotch/ whiskey to help you to better explain the flavors you are experiencing. :D

As far as that baseboard work in your garage in your garage. Why ruin a great afternoon of tasting when you can hire some cheap imported labor to handle that for you. I know a guy who has had some experience at it. His work was a little sketch for awhile but I heard he's become quite the baseboard expert these days. :giggling:

[CO Hummer]

I've read many whisky reviews and with only a few have I experienced what the taster experienced with that particular whisky.

They remind me of cigar reviews where there are about 8 key words that tasters use. Plus, you have to add it a few made-up expressions. :)


"At first I noticed a malty sweetness. There was some vanilla with a raisins, followed by a floral bouquet that resembled a citrusy sweetness." LOL.

I will say the I read a review of Macallan Cask Strength that pointed to cinammon and raisins and it was spot on.

You ever read reviews by Michael Lam? Every single review includes "malty sweetness".

[BKLYNH2]

As in " I plunged deep between Xena's thighs, seeking her malty sweetness."? :fdance:

Enjoy your whiskey now?

[CO Hummer]

Tonight at dinner I ordered a Lagavulin 16yr, another Islay single malt. I think I can get into the smoky island malts. I have to say it's pretty close the Laphroaig.

If nothing else, it's worth drinking the Islay whisky because of the cool namesl

Laphroaig -- "La Froyg"

Lagavulin -- "Lahga VU lin"

:jump:

I try to say this with my best Scottish accent. Sometimes I use my Pakistani accent.

Last Thursday I was at Disney World and didn't have a chance to get my whisky.

In addition to two more bottles of Balvenie Doublewood I picked up for some buddies, I got these tonight for the Thursday Night Purchase.

I sampled the Highland Park.....and WOW. That is one awesome whisky for a less that $40/bottle and my local superstore. Friggin awesome whisky, from the Ornkey Isles.

At least your rig broke down. I wheeled all day with a wicked headache and felt like crap.

I was thinking we'd do a little "tasting" of the CO whisky. Little did I know 2 hours later the bottle would be empty and we'd be waking people up to steal their lighters. :giggling:
