Whiskey recommendations?

[sasguru]

I know it's not exotic but the 18 year old Glenfiddich is very good indeed.

[norrahe]

Glenlivet 18 year old currently going for £23 in waitrose instead of £35

Try some of the glemmorangie oak cask range all only 10 year old but very nice, they do port, madeira and sherry cask.

Dalwhinnie 15 yr old, any of the macallan

Any of the balvenie are pretty good.

Get yourself some decent glasses

these particular shaped glasses bring out the flavour of the malt that you wouldn't normally get with a boggo tumbler.

In no particular order I'd recommend

Highland Park
Laophraig
Macallan
Glenfarclas

Talisker is a nice drop...especially the 18 year.

Off topic but hey!

Drink a decent Cognac or Armagnac..... much much better than any Wisk(e)y....

Although Laphroaigh & Dalwhinney are drinkable.....

Just my opinion obviously.

Oh show me the way to the next whiskey bar..........

Laophraig....

yep. The missus drinks the stuff and this gets her vote.


On a cold day I make her a hot toddy for when she gets home from work.

three shots of whisky, third of a pint of boiling eater, two dollops of honey, two spoons of brown sugar and a slice of lemon.

dont stir it.

She gets most pleasure from sniffing it then watching the bits swirl round as she curls up unders a highland rug and starts twiddling the stirry thing.

That's what Bells is made for. I'm a bit of a purist with single malts, unless I could find some really top-class ginger ale (I can't). As for Laophraig, you could mix it with petrol and not affect the taste... it's not nasty but a bit too extreme for my taste.
