anyone recommend a decent whisky to get.

(one fairly well known as it will be easier to get in my local wine shop).

 

was on the hendriks last night for the football; good substitute for beers when i didnt want to get plastered.

 

im very well versed in drinking whysky but less so on the recommendation side of things.

Laphroaig and Ardbeg are well known and tasty.

Scapa 14 year old and Jura 16 are superb.

 

New tastes to me, recommended by good guys and I'm loving them muchness.

Canna disagree with that either.

[Bluto10]

[Bluto10]

nice will try those.

 

my old mate jackson recommended to me the highland park. have had that aswell.

[Foster14]

Benromach has been my preferred of late, but I imagine it will be difficult to acquire in the Netherlands. Any hints at what you are looking for? If it is peaty Island malts, not something I'd be even try to recommend on, not a huge fan of it.

[Stoney]

Someone off here Recommended Pultney 12yo....

Im on my second bottle, lovely stuff.

[Bluto10]

im nae fussy foster; although i do have exacting standards

[Bluto10]

nowt wrong with expensive berty.

 

when you drink it neat and savour it; its money well spent.

 

if youre gay and water it down with coke, then you should be put down.

Bells.

 

If you're feeling flush, maybe stretch to a Grouse.

Da ken if they make it any more, but Tescos used to have their own whisky.

 

Fuckin hell eh had to be fleein afore thon was drunk.

Blue Label is like having jewels in your mouth.

 

Hoora' expensive though....

[Clydeside_Sheep]

id drunk it all before my mates fish supper was ready.

Presumably the staff had to go and actually catch the fish, before frying them?

Family jewels?

I stopped drinking whisky after downing a bottle at break neck speed at a party. It tasted like wine, such was my inebration.

 

After attempting to walk the 7 miles home; no taxis to be had for love nor money, I was woken by the police while sleeping on a grass verge at the side of the road who informed me it was -2 and I would die.

 

They gave me a lift home and advised me to trace my family tree as an alternative to wasting my life away in the persuit of alcohol consumption.

 

Point is - Whisky is dangerous. Avoid.

Further proof that ACAB.

although hedonistic it wasnt one of my finer moments.

the probelsm wasnt they whysky you see, it was everythin else that i drank for those three or 4 days

Ah the good old "Low Flyer" or Matthew Gloag as I've heard it called. FFS pretentious cunts.

 

Anyone calling a Grouse that should be treated in the same way as a grouse. Hunted down and shot for the avoidance of doubt.

[Bluto10]

thats pretty cultured for you cheeser; i had you down as a deep fried whysky man

Jura, which rates high in many many so called experts lists, I purchased the 1ltr Jura superstition at the duty free travelling home from work a few months ago.

 

I tried to like it, but no, I found it truly terrible.

I agree.

 

We shoot 'Bluto10' at dawn.

[CrazyBullSheep]

Been trying to get into whisky over a few years now not found one i really like yet and I havent tried any of those mentioned.

 

Will pick up a bottle of Jura on the way home i think any special age i should go for ????

Jura 16 is £48 a bottle. You get what you pay for. Never tried the cheaper Jura products.

The 1ltr of Jura Superstition actually cost more at the time, iirc circa £60, seemingly vatted with a mixture of 10-21 year old blends.

 

Just not for me at all.

My wife and I drank a bottle of whisky every 12 to 18 months i.e. we hardly drank the stuff.

 

Then my local wines and spirits shop got me to taste Bruichladdich XVII. I bought another the next month and ended up getting 5 bottles in 5 months. He said "that must have switched your whisky light on" and he was absolutely correct. However, not only was it getting harder to get, I gone off it. Probably overdid it so I buy about 6 to 8 bottles a year now. I love getting recommended good ones and I can't recommend Scapa enough, although it's tough to get too. I know the Whisky Shop at Gatwick has it so I'll get a couple of bottles there.

 

Scapa is an Orkney malt. Loads of people love Highland Park, the big Orkney seller but I'm nae that fussed on it. Very personal taste, whisky. I canna be deein with Laphroig for example. Macallan was always my fave but went off that too.

Oh right. Sure I've seen it pretty cheap in Asda.

[bonzodaddy73]

Glenmorangie is the tipple of choice for me. A damn fine dram indeed.

[E-P-K]

Quick search and you can now get the smaller bottle 750ml for about £30.

 

I am not much of a whisky drinker, but wanted a reasonable quality bottle at home, more so for visitors, and had read about Jura being high up the list of quality fuskies.

 

So when I seen the Jura superstition at duty free, at the cost I paid, I presumed it was a malt, and of a decent standard.

 

I just found it too peaty and smokey. Will go to the specialized Whisky shop in Dufftown, or Gordon and Macphail in Elgin and get a nice Speyside malt, I stay a matter of miles away from the Spey, so might as well promote the fucker.

[tightbreeks]

got to be laphroaig, I love the whiskers with the peaty, medicinal flavours.

 

we're so lucky with our rain. another good thing, the rain water is a direct link to why Scottish cashmere is the best in the world. karl Lagerfeld is a big fan, so fashion and the arts should be well up there. luxury pieces for the soon to be rampant Chinese buying everything. not quantity, quality, then we take it from there.
