I like Glenmorangie. It's a cliche, but a tasty tipple nonetheless.

I just tried Macallan sherry oak 18 years and that was good too.

Royal Lochnagar isn't bad either.

So what do other NS'ers like.

Jameson's 1790. For when drowning's too good for your troubles.

bushmills

Jack Daniels.

Ah. I see we have fans of the Irish.

Good choices though.

Black Bush for the smoothness, Old Potrero Rye for the power (124.5 proof)--and it's still damn smooth.

Never tried Porero. Should I?

Basil Hayden's

Jack Daniel's, but I'm not really a whiskey fan. I like vodka much better. Speaking of, has anyone ever checked out www.ohmygoditburns.com? Beautiful.

Anyone ever hear of Aquardiente, a Colombian hard liquor?

Jack Daniel's, but I'm not really a whiskey fan. I like vodka much better.


You sir, are a heretic.

And I will brook no more discussion on the Vodka matter.

Jack Daniels - thats what it was... then I made a mistake and drank a bottle of it in a competition with a 6"7 guy who must be over a 100kg

Since that day I have not had more than 3 units of alcohol in a night *takes a bow*

JD can be deadly. They've scalled back its potency though. :(

I like the scotch though. :D

When I used to drink, Chivas Royal Salute. Now up to about 180US per fifth.
That stuff was awesome. Very smooth and a fabulous taste.

the Grokdoc

Deadly? I was catatonic -.- I woke up the next morning with no memory of most of the night... and a terrible feeling of "oh lord... I ****ed up." strangely enough... the memories I do have I thought were a dream while they were happening...

Aw well... always best to get the hard lessons learnt young ay? lol

I preffer Evan Williams. It is a cheap knock off of JD but I actually like it a lot better. If money permits however I enjoy whiskey in Irish Car bomb form --a shot of jameson, a shot of bailey's dumped into a guiness and dranken in one gulp but that costs $8 at the bar.

Jack or Jim.

Irish Car Bomb... lol I gotta introduce my mate to that...

Normally, I try to stick with Black Velvet if I'm drinking Canadian, although I'm currently drinking some Crown Royal(the Velvet is MUCH better). If I'm drinking bourbon, usually JD or Jimmy Beam. Had some Old Granddad the other week that did wonders for a sore throat (which is why I bought the Crown). Southern Comfort, like most liquor, is OK if you stay away from the stuff they sell in grocery stores. As for the European side of the pond, I've not had very much whiskey from there. 1 sample bottle each of Chivas and Curvoisier(sp?). Both were pretty good, as I recall. I'll not even try to describe the cheap scotch I tried...

No, No, No,

Whiskey should be savored on its own. By the bottle.

Well yeah, if you aren't a scumbag low life. But if you are a scumbag low life you should deffinitely save your pennies for the most delicious blast of alcohol available, the irish car bomb. Be warned you must drink it quickly or the guiness will curdle.

Ah how well I remember those days.

Snakebite and black, with a lemondrop on the side.

Helly yeah Snakebite, however, I use lime juice with Yukon Jack, but there are many different versions of the great and wonderful snakebite.

Whatever tickles the pickle.

I once drank a two gallons (imp) of snakebite and black. How happy was the hospital to see me. :)

Talisker, The Dalmore or Glenmorangie

What is "black"? Do you mean stout as in a black and tan?

Black current cordial.

(Ribena).

Helps it go down smooth.

Once had a bad night on talisker. Split a bottle with a friend. Got into a humongous fight on tynemouth long sands. Good Times :D

Good stuff though. :D

mmm...i think if i went up to the bar and asked for a car bomb i wouldnt get a drink...

If they try to charge you like 10,000 Euros just tell them you want the other kind of car bomb.

That sucks. I pay about $4.50.

Car bombs kick ass.

I'll stick with the Jameson's too, with a pint of Bass on the side thank you. Don't mind a good BnT every now then either, and this Car Bomb sounds like one I gotta try!

(wish there was stumbling drunk smilie)

Nothing less than 12 years old.

Never tried Porero. Should I?If you can find it. It's from a very small distillery in San Francisco, located in the brewery where I work. They've only been distilling since 1993, and it's only distributed in a few major cities for now, but I think you can go to the Anchor Brewing website (http://anchorbrewing.com) and find a link to the distillery, and you may be able to purchase it there. It's a bit pricey, but it's damn good.

Jamesons or Powers - I used to drink Bushmills, but it just had a really nasty taste when you got down to it. Soda, and no ice, thank you.

crown royale
but I'm more of a vodka gal myself

So a single malt man. I guess there is something to like about you! :p

Isle of Jura Simple. Needs just a spray of water to do it right
Orkney Isles - Nice kick but I think it is an acuqired taste.
Ursqaebac - Nice smooth
Glenrothiese
Ben Riach
Cragganmore
Dalwhinne - Good! I give it to people who want to start drinking single malt.
Macallan
Glenmorangie 18 years is good
Glenmorangie Traditional (wood)
Ardbeg - another that needs a touch of water
BlackBush. I liked it when it was not available
Talisker.

Last but not least. Springbank. Get the 18 the 12 is just too young. Also, don't know know but when I bought them in Scotland, the seller told me they are the last Scottish owned distillery. The rest are were all Foreign.

Glenlivet and Glenfiddich? I use them only for a chicken recipe! ;) (They are french owned BTW).

Maker's Mark and Jim Beam Black are the best.

But if anybody wants to give me a little Johnny Walker Black, I wouldn't turn it down.

The nicest whisky I ever had was Ben Nevis, but they only make a few hundred bottles a year, and as far as I know it's only sold in Fort William.

Anyone else ever tried it?

Black? How about Blue? Some of the smoothest Scotch i've ever had.

I believe that Glenturret is also still in the hands of the noble scottish race. It also has the distinction of being a lowland single malt.

Not a fan though, 'cept for the 18+.

And what is not to like about me?

Have one from my store.

*pours drink* :D

Fort william, the home of the british commandos. (Well during WWII).

I have been there, but they didn't have ben nevis at the time. :mad:

Sweet! I forgot about that!

Cornel Chisholm bought me many rounds of it.

There was another brand that we drank with Tartan ale. Great mix! ;)

Wow. Doubly impressed ;)

If you hit the main hotel and saw an elderly gentlemen by the name of Chisholm, he was the commander. His daughter runs the hotel now.

A good man and a great friend!

Never had the benefit, sad to say. I would have loved to meet him, even being a dashed yank and all.

Nevertheless, my Grandfather was the Padre of 2 Para during WWII, and they started out as a commando group. That's why I was up there checking it out.

am I right in saying it is unavailable outside of fort william? I'd love to get some more, but fort william is a bit far away (Well actually it's only about 300 miles, but what with rubbish public transport and all...)

Too bad. He liked anybody that is friendly. If you are polite, like to laugh and buy rounds! :) They liked you! ;)

I only met the man when I went exploring the Highlands. We started talking(drinking) and became fast friends.

My Granddad was in the 1st Polish Airborne.

Well I am a yank but the last time I was there, you are correct. Only in town.

However, a quick scan of the net shows some products fromt he Distillery.....

Wow, small world.

I'm a manhattan drinker. I make it with two parts whiskey to one part sweet vermouth, dash or five of bitters, maybe a little creme de cacao, fresh slice of orange peel. Anyway, I like Kentucky Tavern or maybe Jim Beam once in a while for this drink. If I'm drinking straight whiskey I drink scotch. :eek:

Laphroaig.

Laphroaig.

Good choice, but lacks the conviction of Talisker.

I like Glenmorangie. It's a cliche, but a tasty tipple nonetheless.

I'm a tremendous fan of Macallan, macallan 12 year is the bread of life.


Most single malts arent bad, I've got a soft spot for glenlivet.

Lagavulin.

Have one from my store.

*pours drink* :D

Cheers :)

*lifts glass*

Jack Daniels

Two words

Moon SHine

It fucks you up, damn quick

Personal Favorites:

Bourbon-Knob Creek
Scotch-Ardberg

I'm a bourbon gal myself. I usually substitute it for whiskey in a mix. Maker's Mark is good, but Wild Turkey is also acceptable. ;)

Jack Daniels

JD is not whiskey in my opinion, it's minging, I'd rather drink Tesco's white label whiskey (£6 for a bottle) any day. :)
Anybody ever tried Antiquary? It's rough as hell, I always order it when I can though for some strange reason.

[QUOTE=DeaconDave]I like Glenmorangie.[QUOTE]
Glenmorangie is a Whisky, not a whiskey :P

I like Laphroig, but any other Islay malt is good too.

I'm a tremendous fan of Macallan, macallan 12 year is the bread of life.
Don't know about bread of life, but it's the best Speyside I've ever tried.

Lagavulin.
Almost as good as Laphroig, I'd rate it second of the Islay malts.

Glenfiddich's good especially the older stuff...

Jack daniels is alright but it's american so not as strong as the Scottish stuff..

The best whiskey is Irish and Scottish, teh american stuff is all mixes and not strong enough!

yay for all single malts

For Single Malt my favourite is Talisker, if its blended I like Teachers.

I always enjoyed a glass of Tullamore Dew.

If I'm in the mood for sippin' straight then Glenmorangie.

Overall though, NOTHING beats an Irish Car Bomb. Nothing.

The Belvanie has a nice 12 or 18 yo Double-Wood (aged for 6 or 9 years in a Whiskey cask, and the rest in a sherry cask). It has a nice full flavor and excellent smoothness.

Of course, I haven't found a single-malt yet that I didn't like. Lot's of blended whiskeys are good too.

I remember my last night of 1st year uni...drank 22 units of southern comfort... :( :( :( never EVER again

Macallan, 18 yo or
Laphroig 16 yo

Glenfiddich's good especially the older stuff...

Seconded

Isle of Jura is the best whisky I've tasted in my very limited experience. I'll be noting down the others mentioned which I haven't tried (ie most of them except Glenmorangie and Orkey Isles which was too bitter for my taste). I'm currently most of the way through a bottle of Aberlour. It's damn fine, similar to Isle of Jura in many ways, but that could just be because my perception is somewhat skewed; living in a medium sized Chinese city single malt isn't exactly abundant and what there is costs about a quarter of my monthly wages. I think I'll start rationing soon.

Oh, and I'd like to make the modest suggestion that anyone who proposes any bourbons or ryes be shot. It's modest in the sense that my first instinct was slow hanging. Those who propose Irish whiskies may get away with a light whipping.

A whisky fascist, moi?

I can't tell the difference after a couple of shots. So I drink bourbon and pound the first few shots down really quick.

Then it all tastes great.

I work in a bar, and if anyone came up to me and asked me for a car bomb, I'd have to pull out the bat. You dont hear the words "I'd like a car bomb" in irish pubs much these days :) it's so passe.

lol, damn right!

Go for Bowmore or Highland Park normally... but whenever in Scotland (especially the islands) I try the local firewater for wherever I am. Tobermory is good too.

Yeah, my wife's family home brews beer. They had a batch of about 9 gallons (U.S.) go bad, so they distilled it. Smoothest, best liquor I've ever had.

Southern Comfort.

Though occasionally I'll go for Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, or perhaps some Manx Spirit.

If I'm in the mood for sippin' straight then Glenmorangie.

Overall though, NOTHING beats an Irish Car Bomb. Nothing.

One shot of single malt, half a pint of guinness, and three pounds of semtex?

..seriously, what's an Irish Car Bomb when it's at home?

Heh, Southern Comfort, 70 or 100 proof?

Heh, Southern Comfort, 70 or 100 proof?
As long as it isn't the 42 proof grocery store variety, I don't think it really matters. Well, not too incredibly much.

Lots of people are talking about Scotch- nasty stuff! *barf*

I like Maker's Mark, but if you're poor, Rebel Yell is pretty damn good for cheap stuff.
