***Your Favorite Whiskey***

[PUTZ]

Putz you should start a whisky thread to discuss in there if you are a taster. To expensive to keep trying different whiskys.

Ok, fine.

Yeahp.

Now mind you, I'm in a rather rural area with not a huge selection...and draconian laws preventing me from getting stuff from elsewhere by mail.

So, what's your fav? Anything small batch/single barrel that I would like?

 

[RedGuardist]

These are my favourite single malts. Great stuff. And suitable for my wallet too. Very good price/quality one could say.

I wonder what would this ultra bourgeois stuff taste. Probably would blow your head clean off...only 2,200 $ a bottle...If I just won in a lottery or something.

This is one bourbon I like a lot.

 

[2fisted]

my fav, on the rocks by the fire place... snowing like mad outside.

 

[Hyperion2010]

Really only half whisky.... but I pretty much only drink this or gin.

 

[Oldih]

Decent stuff to drink daily in small dozes, even though far from being 'the' best whiskey out there.

 

[Shadrach]

Excellent thread!
Knob Creek ooh that sounds dirty

Had one of these lovelies over christmas, expensive but well worth it:

Man is it good!

Also, a bottle of Laphroaig is a must to have stocked at all time.

Doesn't really count as a whisky but I'm partial to a good Drambuie after dinner instead of that Cognac moonshine everybody drinks:

As to Bourbon - mix it with coke and icecubes its ok I guess

Nothing like cruising the steppes in a tank sipping on a glass of single malt

 

[Switchblade]

this is my favorite, oh and only pure, no ice no water no softdrink

 

[Fu. Svedberg]

Burbon isn't whiskey nor whisky.



I have no preference on whisky/whiskey it depends on situation, but I don't like the smokey stuff like Laphroaig. The taste of a burning forrest really isn't my thing.

 

[PUTZ]

Yes, it is.

Also, it says so on the bottle.

 

[RedGuardist]

this is my favorite, oh and only pure, no ice no water no softdrink

Pure is the only way to drink good single malt. Or only a teardrop of water. Nothing more.

Only insane person would put softdink to scotch single malt!

 

[RedGuardist]

I don't like the smokey stuff like Laphroaig. The taste of a burning forrest really isn't my thing.

You Sir obviously have no taste for the little good things in life...

But I forgive you, since afaik you swedes appreciate akvavit a lot. That must have ruined your taste for the real good spirits.

Most Whiskey drinkers actually do like a wee bit of water in their drink, Im not a fan of the drink but Glennfiddich is nice. [DBDUK]Gus is fan of the stuff and he drinks Glennfiddich and Glenn Morangie.

 

[PUTZ]

I just do a cube or two of ice, and savor slowly.

Smoky peaty whiskies are my favourite, mostly Islays. Currently in my cabinet are Talisker 10, Lagavullin 16, Laphroaig 10 (Quarter Cask being my favourite), Ardbeg 10, Black Grouse (quite good actually), Bushmills Black Bush, Grants (horrible stuff, was a gift ) and my newest discovery a Speyside: Cragganmore 12.
I might be starting to shift to more subtle and softer whiskies. Bourbon whiskey is something I haven't delved in at all (yet).

And don't even dare mix decent whisky with anything but a tad of water!

 

[UncleDrax]

TBH, for mixing I perfer CC-10year (it meets a certain price/performance ratio), but for straight-drinking, best I've had is Johnny Walker Green... although that's a rare treat.. i have a myster bottle of JW-Red here that I found.

Aside from that, I'm ok with any of the 'better' and higher whiskeys and bourbons. (ie: Makers Mark, Glennfidditch, even JD or Jim)

I've been banned for life from drinky Whiskey (Bourbon's ok though).

The last time was 16 years ago, I had a fight.
Four years before that, I had a fight...
2 years before that, you've guessed it, had a fight.

I now live on the French/German border, drink schnapps get drunk, laugh, go to sleep happy.

I lean toward a Mirabelle or Cherry at 51

 

[Pvt.pile]

You need weed, only kidding man. I feel the same about drinkin cider when im out there is only a few occasions ive nearly been done in and that was when I was drinkin cider . It aint like me and I dont like violent drunks.

 

[PUTZ]

Why do 'good whiskeys' come in cardboard tubes? Seriously, I've always wondered...
