| Post subject: | The whisky thread. |
Am celebrating being on this planet for another year and am drinking whisky from the nice new tumblers from my wife. Laphroiag has been my favourite drink for a while, and have a very nice 10year old cask strength that has been my firm favourite. But tonight... Tonight for the first time I tasted the Lagavulin 16 year old. Wow. Going to have to try that again a few times before I am sure, but I may have a new favourite. (also had the Glenfiddich 12 year Caoran reserve tonight. - meh :shrug: ) Favourite tipple (whisky)? |

Talisker, but if it's going to be a big glass with ice - Jim Beam (bourbon but meh). |

Isle of Jura 10 year old. Nice and palatable and goes down far far too easy

The 15 year Macallan Fine Oak is indeed a rather tasty tipple. An 18 year Cragganmore cask strength was the other particularly fine one I have had (both were payment in kind for some Excel work!) Generally I stick to Highland and Speyside whisky, just because I like the general flavour. I really cannot stand the seaweed tasting ones though. |

Amen to that. Me and a friend nearly finished a bottle of that one evening before she got married. Very nice stuff.

Jack Daniels is my absolute favourite. I drink it when out with mixer (lemonade/lime/coke/red bull). When drinking it at home it's usually just with ice. I've got a lovely bottle of Glenfiddich 18, only really drink it on special occasions. At the moment the casual sip is taken from my bottle of Jim Beam black. I don't think it's worth buying anything else until i've finished that tbh. |

Lagavulin is pretty good. Talisker is very good as well. The "family" tipple is Laphroag 18yr I also like the Islay malts, especially Bowmore Mariner (think it is either a 15 or 18yr). Although it is a little strong for some people (very peaty). |

Now this is my kind of thread. I find Laphroiag too peaty for my taste. I try not to keep too many bottle in the house at any one time, but my current collection consists of: Strathisla 12 years Cardhu 12 years Glenkinche 10 years Suntory Yamazaki 12 years (Japanese is just as good as Scottish) Jura 12 years Craggenmore 12 years As We Get It 8 years (cask strength 60.5%) Dalwhinnie (Distillers Edition)16 years Glen Ord 12 years Glen Mhor 22 years (bottled in the year I was born) Dufftown 15 years The Macallan 18 years (bottled in the year I was born) Caperdonich 24 years (bottled in the year I was born) |
