SaintRam Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Tried JD, Jim Beam and some crap in blue bottle with gold capThat last one is Haig Club, which is pretty ****. Bourbons aren't all that either, more of a mixer than a good drink in their own right. I drink malts, and I drink them for their tastes. I enjoy them a lot. I also like the taste of some, pretty average, beers (the less hoppy the better) and some wine but I prefer the taste of whisky to everything tbh. Aged malts can have some pretty unique flavours depending on the method of aging, but if you don't like it you don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I work as a designer and Glenfiddich is a client of mine so have a bit of a bias. Anything Japanese is delicious though.Try the Hibiki Japanese Harmony! Best blended I've had in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shang Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Try the Hibiki Japanese Harmony! Best blended I've had in years.Even though I've had a lot of Suntory whiskey, I can't say I've had that one! Will give that one a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Do people think cider is cool? Surely not.I used to think it was cool in about 1990, when we used to go down by the river in Bakewell park with 2 litre bottles of Merrydown cider. Slightly less cool about an hour later, chucking it back up in the cattle market & getting the last bus back to Baslow with a puke stinking wet shirt.Happy days.

Ewetube Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Auchentoshan three wood is my sipping whisky of choice at the moment, lads very kindly bought me a bottle for my birthday. I'm also partial to Laphroig which is probably as different as you can get to the Auchentoshan.I'm not a big drinker, but like a wee dram with a splash of water (no ice) when the mood takes me.

ossieram Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I know for a fact that I will be getting at least 4 single malts for Christmas and at least one bottle of Monkeys shoulder which in my opinion is very good for a blended malt.

Bris Vegas Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I drink JD + Coke. It's actually the only alcoholic drink I have nowadays, and it's like a couple of cans every two weeks or so. I'm not a big drinker at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calves leather, cedar wood cigar boxes and cocoa kicking things off. Then we’re onto waves of sweet sherry and chocolate orange, marmalade and butterscotch. Hints of molasses develop and just a whisper of pepper. Palate: About as rich and intense as anything we’ve ever tried from Glenfarclas. The chocolate richness develops in the glass, with notes of chocolate raisins, dates and figs, orange and maraschino cherry. Then spices and thick espresso coffee. Finish: Sublimely concentrated waves of mochaccino and gingerbread, with deep leathery notes clinging to the end. Overall: We’re left speechless! It’s overwhelmingly good… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
