On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

Following Flashy's thread

What whiskey is your thing?

I like Teachers for everyday but I'm not a particular fan of Malts, I used to be just seem to have grown out of them....

Bells, Grants etc are a bit too firey IMHO

BUt... its grown on me. I only stared drinking it as homage to my Dad on his birthday and teh day he died, now I will drink it with mixer whenever

Re: On teh theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

I love a Jack Daniels and coke.

I don't like other whiskies.

Re: On teh theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

I prefer bourbon to scotch -Jack Daniels

Re: On teh theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

Too 'Smokey' for me. :D

Re: On teh theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

Black Bush for me ... when i was allowed .... problem was the price ..

Otherwise normal bushmills is very nice as well ..

but wouldnt touch any of them in a hot toddy .. thats for the cheap stuff bells, etc ..

Re: On teh theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

I drink whisky more than any beer. Glenmorangie 18y/o is my favourite, but for regular consumption Jim Beam sour mash gets bought by the gallon :D

Re: On teh theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

Agreed.. I got as drunk as a lord on it when I was.... well i wasnt 18.. Ever since then just the smell makes me wanna be sick ...

Re: On teh theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

Grouse is my favorite.

Re: On teh theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

Now why does that not surprise me:p Can't stand the stuff myself but Ianto used to enjoy a shot or two of Bells:)

Re: On teh theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

I have tonight enjoyed the company of Statesman. 40 per cent proof at 5.60 euros a bottle....and its gone down well......good night.

Re: On teh theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

Tullamore Dew , but difficult to find at times so stick to Bushmills , (for some reason its $2 a bottle cheaper than Jamesons) if I'm in some place that doesn't have Irish will go on Johnny Walker Black

Re: On teh theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

Am I missing out on something ... is everyone over there getting hammered .... well, thanks for not inviting me guys:mad:

Re: On teh theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

I think you have got that a little mixed up. It is either 40% by volume or 40 degrees proof. I hope it was % by volume :D

Many people get the two mixed up so I will let you off :rolleyes::D:D

Have a read of this interesting wiki for an explaination of where proof came from.

In the UK 40% alcohol by volume (ABV) would be 70 degrees proof.
In the US they would call it 80 proof or 40% alcohol by volume (ABV).

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

My favourite is Spey, single malt, a very smooth palatable whiskey

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

It’s spelt Whisky if it’s from Scotland. And Whiskey everywhere else.

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

You spell it anyway you want when you've had a few:D

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

I used to drink whisky and dry ginger. It was my "tipple" for years, loved it, liked Teachers' or Bell's. For about the last 15 years I haven't been able to touch the stuff and even the smell of it makes me nauseous. Odd!

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

Have to agree with JD and coke here!

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

Crown Royal ... on the rocks

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

The Islay whiskys. Laphroaig in particular.

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

I prefer bourbon....but the best whisky I've tasted was some 12yr old Chivis Regal

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

I think you had better get a stock of both and a jar of 'Bitter Alum' before you get down to the wick on the fingernails. The Scousers are coming to get you pal. :) as an aside, get some chigly as well, it may help.:tongueout

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

:confused:..oerrr! yet another Liverpool supporter jumps out the closet!

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

Nothing of the sort......the two teams that I support have both won today and I'm quite happy with that....what will put the icing on the cake is Man U loosing or drawing on Sunday which will make the league more interesting......:)

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

Like your choice shakermaker, Glemmorangie is my scotch in single malts. The smoothest blended scotch I,ve ever had was Manchester United special blend. The wife brought me a bottle back on one of her visits home. Smooooooth as the team it,s named after.

Re: On the theme of drinks: Fav Whisky?
 

Nicest Blended Whisky for me is the Isle Of Skye 8 yr old. Really smooth, each Whisky in the blend is at least 8 yrs old, but many are much older, not too easy to get outside Scotland though.

For Single Malts it depends on the mood and the time i'm having one. But i like Balvenie Double Wood, Old Pulteney, Dalwhinnie, Laphroaig and Glenmorangie Portwood finish.
