Ok, all you whisky lovers (there must be a few). Which is your favourite tipple? Having Scottish blood, mine is Glenfiddich. I treated myself to a bottle of 15year old Glenfiddich yesterday.... Nectar of the gods or what.

I'm not a whisky drinker at all, barely touch spirits from one Christmas to the next, but if there's a bottle of Laphroaig around, then I might be tempted to a tiny bit. Anything else, I'll happily ignore!I don't roll on Shabbos -
I prefer the peaty malts myself too, but I'd opt for an Ardbeg over the Laphroaig. And given that Glenmorangie Distillery is literally a 5 minute walk from the front door.......................Originally posted by Rhona View Post

Whisky...now ya talking.
I have to say my favorite has to be Ballantine's, although not widely available in England I always buy a bottle (or 2) when we go on holiday. I was fortunate enough to be bought a rare bottle of Gleburgie for my 40th birthday which has not been opened, also a 12year old Whyte & Mackays. I've a rather large collection of Whisky which I don't share with everyone...they tend to want to put lemonade in it

When I was a drinker, My best friend at the weekend was Jack, Jack Daniels.
Probably a poor cousin to your Scottish Real Whiskies I'm sure but its classed as a Tennessee Whiskey !!!Comment

OMG Do I actully have friends that can taste the difference. When I take a drink it is for the one that hits the spot. I do not even notice what it tastes like.

OH loves a single malt, very keen on Glen Ord, but I haven't been able to get it this year. He doesn't mind a drop of Famous Grouse (for glugging rather than sipping), especially as my daughter has discovered that you can order personalised bottles - so he has one labelled Famous Ginger Goatee and one labelled The Famous Wedding Day - really nice gifts! Personally I think it's all revolting!Life is too short for drama & petty things!
So laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly!Comment

While I love Bells as an 'everyday' tipple (usually with lemonade to make it last longer). If given the option I would deffo buy a gallon or ten of Ballantine's Purity - the most gorgeous whisky I have ever sampled even if it is blended.
Still trying to find a single malt that really does it for me
*reminder to self - start keeping a list to prevent double tasting

I was weaned on it!. Current favourite is Bunnahabhain. It's an Islay single malt.History teaches us that history teaches us nothing. - HegelComment

Rarely touch spirits, but when I do if it's not Chilli vodka then, due to my Irish heritage, I love a drop of Bushmills malt.There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't.Comment

If we are having whiskey we always have Jameson's Irish, its lovely.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,

Not a big fan myself, but a buddy of mine is a dedicated whisky man. I've invited him to sample some of the fare on offer at our local inn (5 minutes staggering distance from our house): Food And Drink - The Old Sun Harlington
He's treated me to a free sample bottle of Leapfroig, and I have to say that TCP was all I tasted. I bought him some Japanese whisky once - he saves it for special occasions.
We stayed at the Atheneum hotel in London once, and I couldn't help be inspired by the amount of whisky they have on offer: Whisky Bar London | The Athenaeum Cocktail Bar Piccadilly London
There were a few Merkans staying there and they were making a big thing about sampling several whisky's. Acted like complee tarses they did.
I'd prefer a Gin.A simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

I can smell TCP in some whisky - is it the peaty ones?Life is too short for drama & petty things!

I'm with you, sewer rat - the peaty malts, particularly the Islay ones are my favourites, though Laphraoig is frequently too reminiscent of TCP for me! Wouldn't turn my nose up at Glenmorangie or Talisker either.
