Pffft. Bloody Scots. Stealing our ideas, then having the gall to do it right.... biggrin.gif

Including spelling it right wink.gif

 

It's a right bastard being in Ireland with a bunch of Sweaty Socks who are incessantly moaning about the Irish inability to spell Whisky...

A cheap night for me is a half pint of Blackberry Brandy on the rocks, and 3 or 4 Balentine Ales and I'm good for the night.

 

 

 

We were doing boiler makers with a shot of Bailey's, Jameson's with Guiness for a forth of July party. I drank about ten of them. They taste just like a chocolate shake, but I was so wasted, it didn't taste good on the way out. trink38.gif trink38.gif 062802puke_prv.gif

Yes and No........Bowmore are releasing for too much crap.

 

But Laphroaig, Ardbeg & Lagavulin can do no wrong!!!! Beautiful.

 

Port Ellen.....oh yes.

You're right about Bowmore - I forgot to mention the Laphroaig-good one.

Just wondering about the prices of scottish Whisky because here in Germany they're much cheaper than in Scotland.

 

Laphroaig-20 Pound

Lagavulin-39 Pound

 

Always makes me smile when travelling to Scotland re-importing a bottle.

You are a man with extremely good taste in Whisky!

For all the snobbery (and finery) of single malts, Johnnie Walker Green Label is my favourite tipple.

One to avoid is the Welsh single malt Penderyn. Absolute shite.

Yep....Green is lovely....and Johnnie Black is sensational.....and Johnnie Blue is so smooth, but too expensive.

 

Bang on re: Pendryn. It's shit. Such a shame, it should work. It has no nose, pleasant enough taste......but there's more of a finish in a Wibbly Wobbly Wonder.

Me, too. I prefer Canadian blends. Don't know why. I also like a couple of whiskey liquers. American Honey is great as well as Seagram's Dark Honey. Fireball.

 

Or a Black Russian.

 

That's about it.

The Woodford Reserve is sensational. So woody, and burnt sugar, almost like a good brandy. Super.

The Bulliet Rye was actually better. I'm really getting into good American Rye's. I want to try some Whistler's Pig.

Really?? Wow! I've never tried it. Now I want to!

 

It's impossible to get the truly great American whiskies over here, there's a Sazerac 18 and a Hotaling's Old Portrero Single Malt, both are supposedly sensational.

 

One day........

Maybe you can get it shipped over the pond via online distributors? Binny's perhaps?

Yes....it's the carriage to Ireland that is the problem, it's a killer. Hopefully heading to NJ in the Autumn....that should sort me out!

If you are going to be in NJ for a definite period of time, and know the address ahead of time, you may wish to order a bottle of Templeton's Small Batch American Rye online on Binny's. The only place other than online you can get it is in a few liquor stores in Iowa and the Chicago market.

 

Good stuff!

I had some of this (finally!) at the bar at the Fairmont Mirimar in Santa Monica a couple of weeks ago. It was so good that I ordered a bottle online from Binny's and it's being shipped to the Pedro compound as we speak!

 

It's 100 proof and 100% american rye, baby!
