Whisky

[YorkDon]

Couple of lumps of ice is all that is required in a fine single malt...

[alscotoz]

Hang your head in shame, Whisky should be straight, with only 1 or 2 small ice cubes added.

 

Surely that's diluted.

 

Anyway, it the real deal coca cola, not diet or vanilla or cherry and most certainly NOT Pepsi (that just wouldn't do).

[manboobs109]

Mate of mine won't even use tap water in his, just bottled mineral water. Still tastes like fiery piss though.

[The Boofon]

I was a big believer in straight malt, no ice, no mixer, no water.

 

I've been educated by some proper whisky experts and by the staff at the distillery that some of the stronger % stuff benefits from the tiniest dribble of water to "open it up".

 

I was aghast, and sceptical in equal measures but I gave it a go.

 

Those bloody experts were correct you know, the wee splash made all the difference.

 

 

Fuck all in it is the way forward for general malts. The specialist stuff you mention I'll agree with you purely because you said experts told you. I'd still have a bash of them with fuck all in it first.

My house is called Cardhu, and I noticed in Asda there is Whisky called Cardhu.

 

Is it any good?

 

Or is it like my house being called Asda Smartprice Cola?

There's a sign for Cardhu on the road from Huntly to Aviemore.

 

I got given a bottle of Cardhu as a present.

 

I don't drink whisky.

 

It is not a very good for cleaning shoes.

My house is nowhere near there so whoever put that sign up is an idt. (I D I O T)

[E-P-K]

Cardhu means black rock in Gaelic.

[Dal Riata Don]

Just polished off a bottle of Jura 'Superstition' last night.

 

Nice enough - would recommend it.

[reekie_dock]

I drank a bottle oh vodka last night

 

True story

[For Fecks Sake]

So many whiskies out there to enjoy but have been buying a few at auction these past few years, hopefully for an investment, but wondering wonder if I should just crack open the fuckers and enjoy them?

 

Big fan of whisky finished in either rum or port casks, go down a treat. None of your water pish either, just enjoy it as it is.

Open and enjoy. Invest in property instead.

 

 

 

Buy low, sell high.

[manboobs109]

Might sound like daft daft question but does 'collectable' old whisky ever get drunk? Like if you buy a bottle at auction for £200 and sell it for £400 do rich cunts eventually drink it or does it just get kept and sold on?

[manboobs109]

Mad no drinking it though. It might be shite. I drank a bottle of old port once, 30 year old or that. Was bowfing, gave me a cunt of a headache and the shites although I'd ate a whole bit of stilton so that probably didn't help. The diahorrea smelt of stilton.

[For Fecks Sake]

Think the majority of 'collectable' whisky will never be cracked open, it's just become too valuable.

 

Some of the prices certain Macallan's and even some of the Japanese whisky's go for are unbelievable. Having followed various whisky auction sites for a couple of years now the prices continue to rise and rise.

 

Bought myself a Balvenie 30 year old a few years back and cracked it open one new year. Was absolutely stunning and savored every drop.

[dervish]

I've got an Old Putlney 21 and a seperate very limited edition you can't buy.

 

Think the 21 is worth about £200 these days got it for mebbies £55.

Give you £1000 for it.

[dervish]

Wouldn't sell it, was issued for 50 years of my old work place. There's only one hogshead of it.

The one's I've had are drinkable but nothing spectacular. I won't be buying another. The most common malt in Spain though.

[Macleod]

good old boozer extraordinaire Michael Jackson said highland park was the best.

 

He must have changed his mind before he popped his clogs, his book rates several above HP 18. I do like a lot of HPs, and had a glass of a 40yo last month which was the best I've had. At £2,000 a bottle I'm surprised anyone likes me enough to share it.

[tightbreeks]

Got to be the peaty efforts from Islay, medicinal.

 

Dalmore and their sherry casks, a pricy snort.

The only things good with Peat in them are The Who and The Libertines.

[tightbreeks]

Peat makes your bath water brown! Freaked me out when I first saw that.

 

Time for a wee sharpener before work!

Speyside all the way for me, as I don't like white spirits I've been on the whisky for quite a while now but always go back to the Spey. For everyday house drinking the Glenlivet 15 French oak reserve and the balvennie 17 double wood are just magnificent. Don't let any cunt tell you how whisky should be drunk though. I like 1 ice cube in mine but find the way you enjoy it most.

 

Agree. BTW I haven't drunk any cola in any form since I was 17.

Agreed and Aberlour is nice wee drop also

Got given a bottle of Jura Superstition this morning from a customer. Good introduction for a beginner?

[Zeus]

^aye

[1903Fitba]

Anybody tried the stuff at the club shop? Was gonna get a bottle for a cheap Christmas gift but no delivery option so will have to see if I come up before

[manboobs109]

Had a drink of that Jura Superstition. Can't help but think it's wasted on me. Just tastes like whisky. Are you meant to enjoy it or is it like a self flagellation thing?

[The Cockney Don]

Whiskey used to be my top shelf tipple, now it's Rum, Yo-Ho-Ho.
