Go for the really good stuff, I remember a pub I used to drink in had these:

Laphroaig is an acquired taste. Thankfully I have acquired it. If you find yourself in possession of some that you have no use for simply send it to me then I can help myself to it.

The snag is single malt, much as I like it, is _too_ smooth.

To enjoy neat whisky, you have to feel it burning its way down your throat and seering the lining of your tum. So arguably, the cheapest harshest gut rot is the way to go.

May I suggest this for Sir? Five budget whiskies that tell your dad it hasn’t been the best year for you financially

If anyone likes Islay malts and loves getting off their tits]

That would be most of us.

If you're on a budget, industrial ethanol can be substituted for vodka....

Laphroaigh's worth a try if you want peaty flavours

Laphroaigh is disgusting. Smells like germaline and tastes worse.

My beau bought a bottle and left it at mine for when he fancies a post-prandial. He knows there's no chance of me helping myself to it.

I've always thought that you could get a pretty good Approximation of whisky by mushing up some cardboard and some ash tray contents in vodka, but whatever floats your boat

That's not whiskey, that's Tequila.

However I have some very nice single and cask Scottish ones which I picked up here: WhiskyDungeon.com - Shop und Bar in Münster und online and this is really, really nice: https://www.glenfahrn.com/de/shop/pr...1988-4001.html

I don't know much at all about whisky, but drinking a first edition, single malt distilled at Dailuaine 2004 Speyside Region (does this mean anything to anyone).

And.. have to admit it's lovely. Have I just won the lottery of whiskeys or can you get better?

OTOH if you've only got Lagavulin, I'll drink it!

...I went a got a bottle of Lagavulin but I can't seem to drink it

Send it over then.

Makes no sense to buy a bottle every time to find out

That's crazy talk.

[scooterscot]

The good thing about joining the Whisky society, £80 last I checked but that's for previous members, is you can taste every Whisky in the bar without paying a penny. How do you know which one you'll like? Makes no sense to buy a bottle every time to find out.

Of course you can get plastered just on tasters.

and what about good old Jack ?

Milan.

[original PM]

I have a very old Macallan or however it is spelt.

Anybody any views of The Macallan

Milan.

Lovely one from the spare bedroom window.
