THE MACALLAN -- Cask Strength (and sundry booze discussion)

[donovan.x]

I have got a bottle of Makers Mark bourban stashed away for christmas...I am very excited about trying it. :D  :D  :D

[Elliot]

it is a very nice bourbon indeed.

[TwilightOdyssey]

Enjoy the Makers!

Very nice, but very played out here in the US.

You should also pick up some Woodford Reserve if you can find it.

Any hints to a beginner in Whiskey???
In deed I've drunk it only 3 or 4 times, and never liked it... but I didn't like beer when I was 12yo and now I like  :D

(Ok, just something less than £30,00 and easy to find... I live in Brazil and here it's not so much drunked as beer and wine, because it's expensive)

Jameson or Johnny Walker Black. Both are very drinkable and taste good on the rocks as well as mixed with Coke.

This thread shows what guitar-playing adults are REALLY into...

One of the longest running threads in history and it's about whiskey!

Ok then! Thank you!  :D

Shobet, what's that one marked 1982? That's a nice stash you have, any favorites?

I've been on the hot Jamesons all week, originally for the cold, now, just because I can.

Hot Bushmills (with diversiond to to Jamesons & Powers), to keep the pain from my abcess under control (2 root canals in 1 week)

I think I will switch to Brandy for the next couple of days

That sounds nasty! Been there myself. I hope your not suffering over Christmas mate.

The 1982 one is a Queen of the Moorlands special bottling from the Port Ellen distillery, No. 90 out of a 119. A birthday present from my other half, bless her.

Favourites, hmm that's a difficult one. If I had to pick at the moment it would be the 15 year old Laphroaig Signatory Un-chill filtered edition, which I'm down to an inch of. ARGHHHHHHHHHH!

But they're all nice in different ways. It's great fun finding out!

Heh everything is under control in the tooth dept (though the dentist is laughing all the way to the bank).

Have been laying off the whiskey the last few days and have switched to mead which I have to say is excellent, but way too easy to drink.

Obligatory link http://www.lindisfarne-mead.co.uk/ and they will be tetting some more of my money tomorrow :)

I dont suppose you people count Southern Comfort as a "real" whiskey, but I've been drinking it the past few days and I really like it, much sweeter than JD and Jim Beam which is probably why I like it, doesnt taste so paint-stripperesque :lol:
