    Nothing in the world beats a good single malt. I like to have a few in rotation. Tonight it's this:

    It's wonderful. But also evil. 54.2%, beautifully warm but also harsh and scratchy. Like drinking flavoursome, full-bodied razor blades. In a good way.

    Love the way you described this!! I want to try it just to experience the full-bodied razor blades!

    I drink all of the above but I'm a newb to Scotch.

    I'm partial to malted scotch but I've only had a couple: LaPhroiag and Glenfiddich. I've had Yamazaki's but didn't think it was anything special.

    Bulleit Frontier Whiskey kicks *kitten*. I think Maker's Mark is ok. Evan Williams Cherry Cask when I want to mix with soda or ginger ale.

    I get my To Do list from Whiskey.FindtheBest.com. If I'm drinking by myself at home I tend to drink cheaper stuff.

    There is no E in whisky.

    you're partially right. The spelling is dependent on the country of origin. If the country of origin has an E in its name ie: United Stated, Ireland...then it is spelled whiskey. If the country of origin does not have an E in its name ie: Canada, Scotland... then it is spelled whisky
    I see! Being in Montana, a great deal of the whisky/whiskey brands that I see are Canadian.

    Has anyone tried Coldcock Herbal Whisky?

    I am going to the Rockstar Festival this weekend, and they're sponsoring it. It looks interesting (nothing of terrific quality by the looks of the bottle / branding)

    I can't imagine it being any good, but if there are free samples I won't say no lol just wanna make sure it isn't god awful

    Personally I do not drink but I keep a nicely stocked bar for my in-laws.

    Knob Creek and Gentleman Jack, sometimes I will have some single barrel Jack just depends on whether or not I remember when I am in the store to buy it.

    Right now my bar looks like this,
    Vodka: Grey Goose, Grey Goose orange, and Ciroc Peach
    Whiskey, Gentleman Jack and Knob Creek
    Tequila: Cabo Wabo repasado
    Rum: Captain Morgan's private reserve
    Gin: Bombay Sapphire

    Not a poorly stocked bar but it lasts a long long time since I rarely drink and now both my wife and I are cutting so there is no room in the macro/micros for any alcohol. Shoot I don't even give up a single calorie to any liquids except meal replacement shakes

    Whiskey, hands down - Jamison or Jim alone or an Urban Cowboy - layered with Jack, Yukon Jack and SoCo... Good and dangerous :)

    Smells like burning hell and seaweed. Taste is amazing.

    And has the power to clear a room in the blink of an eye.

    Link disappeared and can't edit posts after an hour anymore...

    Pic was of Ardbeg Ten. But I'll take any of the Islays...

    Bourbon, I like Woodford and Maker's.

    Irish? Redbreast is pretty damn good.

    Has anyone here ever tried Zwack? It's a Hungarian herbal liquor. I've been curious about it but haven't tried it. It's the "official shot of Hungary" made with 40 different herbs and spices.

    Interesting history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwack_liqueur

    aren't bourbon and scotch both whiskey?

    so i think this is a trick question....

    regardless, I like the Gentlemen Jack. I like Crown, I like Wild Turkey and Johnny Walker (all colors of labels)

    But I will drink most anything. It's not like I'm a snob


    I think lush is the word you're looking for :laugh:

    could be. i have a hard time thinking because i'm drunk

    Angel's Envy is pretty good, though I'm not sure if it lives up to all they hype. If I'm spending over 50 on bourbon I'd rather go Jeffersons Reserve myself.

    As an Irish Girl I am sad to say that pretty much the moment I turned 35 Jamison stopped longer agreeging with me. :sad: I have learned that I enjoy (and it likes me back) Woodford reserve, and am still looking for others i like.

    :cry: a tear shed for you no longer being able to enjoy the Jameson :cry:

    If you like the Woodford Reserve, you may want to try Buffalo Trace or Four Roses. :drinker:

    Always scotch. The peaty-est Lagavulin or Highlank Park you have. I want it to taste like it's been rolling around in the dirt, please.
  • Zomoniac
    Zomoniac Posts: 1,169 Member
    A Lagavulin is always a good bet. As is trying a new Bruichladdich, of which there seem to be 20 new variants every time I drop into my local whisky specialist. Can't keep up anymore.
