Whiskey

You can't add water, fish fuck in it!(and dilutes the taste)

Woof!

is this where you ask for two or three fingers?

 

[neci]

i need a good saloon, where the people aren't racist fucks.

 

[neci]

cock and good whiskey.

the whiskey cleans the throat and warms the tonsils.

 

[Paendragon]

okay. two checks. both good.



rural sting of city

The where matters because of pricing. I can get a bottle of Glenmorangie 10-year Scotch for $29, but I don't know if that is everywhere. That's about as good as you can get for under $30. It's always in my cabinet, now.

Some people like Buffalo Trace bourbon, but to me it was a bit bland. It's about $20.

Bulleit is a good under $30 bottle. Probably one of my favorites for that price.

If you want under $20 . . . honestly, Jim Beam ain't bad.

 

[neci]

the rest is salty honey

 

[Paendragon]

No. But my boy is desperately trying to get his hands on some. I believe I may have raised a booze snob...

If you get any to try, PLEASE let us all know how it is.

Oh yeah. My friend has a bottle of the 20-year that I'm going he shares.

How far are you from the Athenaeum, Neci? A fine whisky selection and charming staff.

Glenfiddich

Jameson

Glenlivet

Have a bottle of Jameson 12-year I have yet to crack. I don't know Irish Whiskey.

I have not had a good bourbon, yet. Scotch I drank some Glenmorangie at the Hotel Congress on the recommendation of an old-timer. Really good. I prefer Whiskey. Jameson is OK. Jameson Reserve is pretty good.

Yes, see my last post about the 10-year old. Drinks like an older Scotch. By far the best Scotch I've had is a $150 special bottling of GlenDronach done for K&L Wines. Incredible mouth feel. Thick enough that when you swirl it in your glass it shows legs.

I finished a special bottling of Highland Reserve 16 year old last night. So good it made me want to punch bricks. And if ever you come across Ardbeg Corryvreckan, treat yourself. The most wonderfully pungent, unapologetic Islay I've ever tasted.

I'm more of a Speyside/Highland guy. The Lagavulin was good, but generally they have a little too much of an iodine taste for me.

Woof!

I have a bottle of cask strength scotch that needs watering, or the burn overpowers the taste.

i am fluid in my pricing. for a drive, i can find a wide variety, so i save a special trip for once or twice a year. whiskey pricing is like good tequila pricing, in that some bottles will surprise you.

i could drink a man under the table.

once i drank a sailor under the table and standing straight up again, only for him to be drank back down. hydration is the key.

Green Spot is a good Irish whiskey at a reasonable price, I'd say. And iodine is certainly an acquired taste, I know. I do love a good Lagavulin too, whose richness masks some of the seaweed tang. I take it you aren't a Laphroiag fan? And if you ever come across a whisky specialist selling water from the relevant distillery, as they often do in Scotland, to serve with your cask strength whisky, it is well worth it. I thought it was such an affectation, but having done a taste test on a few it is honestly like drinking a different whisky. I suppose it makes sense, given that the water is such a major component of the finished spirit.

I had a friend offer me Laphroiag, but when he heard I wasn't a fan of the iodine, he decided against it. Hahaha.

I have not heard of the water thing, but I'm intrigued. I keep some distilled water on hand that I use, so it didn't ads any flavor, but what your saying makes a lot of sense. I'll look into it.

 

[Wife of Bath]

I've only recently come around to bourbon, but I always have a bottle of Blanton's in the cupboard. Fabulous stuff.

 

[NYC_Man]

Macallan 12

 

[Tathagata]

Talisker 18 years

I like Bowmore 17, Laphroig 12 and older, Lagavulin older than 12
I'm an Islay guy for the most part.

I like most of the Glenmorangies but I stay away from anything that doesn't give an actual age. I bought a few "Reserves" or blends and I was disappointed. I do like the different cask agings, the Lasanta being my favorite.

Glenlevit 21 was one of the smoothest whiskies I've ever had.
The only other thing that goes down that smooth at 21 I'm not allowed to contact by order of the court.

Ah, yes. Agreed. Cool bottle, too. Lol.

Macallan 12

Shockingly, I've never tried it. I've had the 18, and while it was excellent, I thought it was overpriced at $199. So I've let my annoyance do me from sampling anything else.

Love the Talisker 18. It has a smokiness that is pretty rare.

I've had the Original, Quinta Ruban and the Extremely Rare from Glenmorangie. My friend raves about the Lasanta.

This is the kinda stuff I've missed from you, Lazarus.

Neat. Just like nature intended.

Like it. I'm having a Bushmills myself.

Don't tell Fata. She can't abide Prod whiskey.

Never had the 18, and i don't buy bottles lol though i am thinking to make a mini bar at home.
True, Macallan is expensive, even the Macallan 12 is expensive. If you want cheaper single malt, then Laphroig, or Glenlivet, and Glenfiddich

For johnny Walkers i prefer Green and Gold label

They don't make the green anymore. I enjoyed it.
