sammynb 2929 Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 I know JD isn't actually a bourbon btw. Tennessee sipping whisky - oh the irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38815 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 The charvas love it all over tbh. And they don't necessarily do most of their drinking in bars. They buy it by the case. http://cookinglager.blogspot.com/2010/07/b...upermarket.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19838 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 That's a bourbon isn't it? I keep meaning to give some 'proper' bourbon a go. I occasionally like a JD/Jim Beam and coke (1/2 & 1/2). I know JD isn't actually a bourbon btw. it's my favourite. i like a nice scotch but bourbon is less abrasive, more drinkable (more girly basically). i find with some scotch that it takes one or two before they start going down smoothly. borbon usually always slips down a treat from the off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Just bought a bottle of that Monkey shoulder, as well as 10 year old peated malt from M & S, which is supposed to be canny nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Just about to try this, from a new Islay distillery. A bit early for a dram but fuck it. This is nice, really long. This Japanese one is floral & herby with some fruits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Tried a few of those Japanese ones at the Whisky Festival at the Civic and they were excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Talisker is mega btw. I'm all Oban these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Oban's a nice dram like. Talisker is the mutt's nuts though. Got a limited edition 57 Degrees North Talisker which is very nice too (although the original is better I reckon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19838 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 just enjoying a drop of this while watching the blues brothers. lovely stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19838 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I just can't drink spirits straight, with the exception of a reasonable vodka. No Tesco value stuff for me, otherwise it'll feel like the channel tunnel is being bored through my head. Jack Daniels without cola is terrible. i don't mind a straight glug of jack.

Guest alex Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Keep your private life out of this thread please, Dan. Got a bottle of Talisker 18 y.o. for my birthday off her indoors. I'd never had it before but it's a beautiful dram. Also just purchased a bottle of Balvenie Double Wood and Smokehead Extra Black 18 y.o. The former is a Speyside malt and the latter is a non-specified Islay single malt. Looking forward to trying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Master of Malt are doing personalised bottlings at the moment. Might be worth a shout. For the one who likes Glenfiddich - I'd get him a Macallan of some sort. The 25 year old is supposed to be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Couple of new purchases. Winter warmers tbh. And finally got a bottle of this. Had the Corryvreckan few months back which was fucking impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Nice article in the Guardian. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/201...ove-with-whisky That Ardbeg Supernova was incredible btw. Off to the Whisky shop tomorrow, i tried an unchill-filtered speyside from Signatory Vintage this week, think i may have to get one of those. Good value.
