Members JRBain Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 Brutal!!! I love it, every once in a while I go to a local Irish Pub and get a glass of that, she's somewhere around 120 horse though, definitely needs some water, makes my mouth and gums numb when I drink it. 59.4% alcohol I believe. Haha, I viewed the bottle with slight trepidation when I read it first!! What I really liked about it when I first tried was that despite the alcohol level it didn't taste like paint stripper, but still had the full flavour and finish. I haven't had it neat, though, always with a little water as the bottle directs. A wonderful whisky indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bill Brown Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 I've just got a bottle of 10 y/o Glenmorangie. Not actually drinking it though. It's just sitting there waiting, patiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Slim Jim Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 Last night was Ardbeg Supernova. Saturday night was Lagaluvin 16 year old. Wonder what I should do tonight? Maybe Glenlivet 10? Hm. Good thread though. Makes me wanna buy more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Slim Jim Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 One of my favorites at the moment is Highland Park 12 year, its a great combination of a little bit of every "region" of single malt scotches. Some do not like it, but it is a flavor that I absolutely crave. A man after my own heart. Have you tried the 18 year old from them?

Members Johnny'sGotTheBlues Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 If you haven't tried this, go buy a bottle. Stunningly good. $40 or so. Beats $100 scotch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soundgardener75 Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 N00b here (when it comes to hard drinks). So Jack Daniels or Maker's Mark to start off on whiskey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ovid9 Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 N00b here (when it comes to hard drinks). So Jack Daniels or Maker's Mark to start off on whiskey? No. Jamesons. Cheap and tasty. I have not had Maker's Mark so I can't speak to that. I don't mind JD for mixing, but I don't find it enjoyable for sipping. BUT, I am a whiskey novice myself. I've only had a few different ones and nothing "nicer" than Jamesons which I find tasty and friendly to my nooby mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I.P. Freeley Posted April 23, 2011 Members Share Posted April 23, 2011 If I'm sipping it, usually Jameson's or Crown Royal. If its getting mixed with soda then whatever was on sale lately between Southern Comfort (not true whiskey I know), Seagrams, Jim Beam, or even something a step lower. I did learn my lesson on using ultra cheap whiskey even as a mixer. That was a tragic tale of woe and puking. Wasn't R&R was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassred Posted April 23, 2011 Members Share Posted April 23, 2011 There's a bunch of single malts to be had for under 40 bucks.SingletonBowmoreMaccallan 10and if you're lucky, Highland Park 12Just to name a few There's a good start for getting into single malts. From the Speysides to the Islay's (Bowmore)... I have a bottle of Bowmore Legend 'The Original' here with me.. I cannot quite bring myself to drink it. I've tried every trick in the book and cannot get rid of the Plasticine aftertaste. Not an islay guy, I guess. If you are just getting into them, try out different regions and different tastes, there are a billion whiskey's that all taste different... I've found that for smooth/sweet, Speysides are a good one. Glenmorangie is the smoothest pour I've had, Singleton is a good basic SM, Glenfidditch and MacCallan too. If you are looking for something that's easy to drink a lot of, go with an irish like Jameson. Straight or on the rocks, Jameson has never let me down..

Members Ovid9 Posted April 23, 2011 Members Share Posted April 23, 2011 Wasn't R&R was it? I dunno what R&R is.....BUT.... ok, confession. It was whatever the hell Krogers sell's as their house brand. I figured "oh I'm mixing it...it'll be fine." Yeah, that was the first and last time I made that mistake.
