Whiskey

[Paendragon]

Gl...

Haven't had it. It's on my to do list, though.

Maker's Mark is fun.

Very smooth for the price. My favorite "wheated" bourbon. Although I have not been able to find a Pappy van Winkle anywhere to compare.

It's dry, not sweet, very smooth. I prefer it on ice.

Scotch isn't whiskey, it's whisky.

And Lagavulin is nectar of the gods.

Well, you Brits can't spell anything right, can you.

Oddly enough, I'm not as big a fan of the Islay Scotches. I tend to go Highland or Speyside.

Uh oh. You're taking me back . . .

 

[Paendragon]

You're very fruity.

You're just saying that because I was nuzzling your melons.

My son's very first sentence was "George Dickel whiskey is $6.99 a quart." His preschool teacher was quite impressed.

Hah!

What are you're favorites?

Yours?

If I want good whiskey, I go to the kid's houses. Otherwise, on the shelf I have:

Kirkland Canadian Blended
Crown Royal
Outlaw - Alaskan Distillery
Jamisons

It works....

I bought a Japanese whisky (bite me Sean) that I like iced. The Yamazaki 12 year. From what I understand, it was distilled and aged specifically to be an over ice whisky.

On the spelling, fun little piece. http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/04/whiskey-versus-whisky/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0

I've never had Japanese whiskey. I like whisky.

The reason I drink it iced is the taste changes with the temperature. It becomes slightly more mellow. It still has its bite but the taste is smoother.

I'm getting all nostalgic.

 

[parodyluvr75]

As long as you do it without the booze, you're fine. No jumping off the wagon.

Haha everyone makes fun of me for loving fireball, but I don't care, that junk is delicious....

The Japanese whiskey says whisky on the bottle. But I figure the Japanese can't spell any better than the Scots.

Got sick as a dog when I was young, and have shied away from it since.



And if they order it neat?

A splash of water, or it's American.

Goes to show you what I know about whiskey.

Sounds like a reasonable assessment.

I do have several beers in the cellar that were aged in used whiskey barrels.

You keep giving me reasons to come to Alaska. I much prefer beer to whisk(e)y.

If you're driving, get the Milepost.

I would be driving. Or coming alone.

The milepost is the guide to the road. Don't rely on computer apps that need the internet. There's not a lot of connectivity along the road.

 

[snugglestruggle]

I don't drink Whiskey often but sometimes I have Bushmills.

Really? What does it do to the flavor?

My son would be all over that book, but not too happy without his WiFi.

Oh, it has an ebook on iTunes. Now you're talking his language.

I would love to drive up, actually. I'd have to trade up to a car with a bit more beef to it, I think.

You really don't need much of a vehicle for the highway, now.

Makes for some great high gravity beer. Most of it's 9% and above. And it all really needs to age to smooth out. You might check it out.

Bar Fly is a tasty local beer.
