Tom 14521 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Was staying over my mams for Christmas as it's an easier drive to visit family. Got back from a night out and hit the spirits cabinet...only one was open. Brandy, "three barrels" or some shite. I woke up and she said "Thomas have you been at that brandy? It's for bloody cakes man!" I am a man of taste. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14521 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 To be fair I could barely see But I thought "if I open that whiskey I'm getting wrong" turns out it was for me anyway but that's not the point! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate loved it and I was gonna get him a bottle. Whats Black Bush like. (no funny business MF either) Expand Im not massively fussy but prefer a Brazilian if I'm honest. More seriously, I think this thread has spoken that Black Label is the champion of good quality affordable blends, with Chivas being a close second. I'll sometimes settle for Aldi's Highland Black, Jameson Black Barrel or even Grouse Smokey Black as an alternative if I'm feeling particularly cheap but something about the smokey peat flavours feels a bit artificial and the hangovers are way worse than from Mr Walkers Amber Restorative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate loved it and I was gonna get him a bottle. Whats Black Bush like. (no funny business MF either) Expand Black Bush is really nice imo. It’s a blended whisky (spelt ‘whiskey’, technically - since it’s Irish - but it’s much more ‘Scotch’ in its character). It’s just Bushmills single malt with a little bit of grain whisky added. So it’s a very simple but high quality blend which is matured in Sherry casks. It’s not as good as a Sherry heavy single malt from Speyside (for example) but it’s also miles cheaper.

Expand Tamnavulin Sherry Cask Edition might be worth a look in the cheap as chips Speyside single malts if you're not looking something peaty. Fairly unremarkable but dangerously smooth. Usually easy to find at £20-£30 a bottle. I'd probably drink it far more often if it was even slightly smokier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
