For all whisky buffs - the best whisky isn't from Scotland

[Pondlife]

That American stuff that tastes like alcoholic Tizer is not whisky.

It's like saying Golden Delicious is the best type of orange in the world.

Apples?

Sunny D?

And the English are back.

They were, however, trained by a Scot: some things are, perhaps, unavoidable

So it's orrible stuff... or it gives me a awful hangover. Right.

Trying not drinking the imitation stuff then!


I've got a few bottles of cask strength whisky on the bookcase, which you let a we dab sit on your tongue before throwing it back and you'll enjoy a great flavour without the hangover.

Amateurs.

I bought a small bottle of JD a while back, just to try as I don't think I'd had any since being a student. It was horrible. Worst whisk(e)y I've ever tasted.

I'll stick to Tesco* own brand scotch from now on.


*Not as bad as it sounds.

Interesting must try that but probably will be a little hard to get hold of.

#2 worst hangover that I had was due to whisky, so not having it again. Granted that one I had was very cheap but still it reflects back on the product...

Yes your logic is shining through today.
You don't fly because you once watched "Final Destination" and you won't drink whisky because you once got a hangover with some cheap stuff.
Doh!

Nincompoop.

MrsB has just bought me a bottle of Jack Daniels Single Barrel. SHould have been £55 but was knocked down to £16 as old stock.

It's not bad. Not as dense as the regular stuff, and you get more of the top and bottom notes that the regular stuff only hints at.

Can't stand the stuff myself, must be my common palate.

Even Bob Shawadiwadi has got in on the act with apparently a very creditable attempt. Just passing by Nicholas (posh offie for all you non-London plebs) I found a bottle of the Amrut Fusion, discounted to £25.
I will report on it in due course
