Very well said Sir.
What is the best whisky
- Thread starter needsy
- Start date
up untill 6 months ago i couldnt even think bout drinking whisky ...even smell o the stuff turned my nose....but the stated 6 months ago i had a strange urge to try it.....had a couple here n there and even the smell now i love....explain that!!!!! i know im bloody weird!!
so far tried
hague & Dimple
got a bottle of oban and oban distillers choice to open
and tried a macallan
i did the tour round oban distillery not long ago and got given a "flavour map" which works on smokyness & peaty on one axis and light to rich on the other so if you find one you like you can look at the "map" and see what whiskys are in what region you like then try them....admittedly its not got all whiskys on it
its all new to me but im enjoying finding out!!!!!!

The only blended I like is Crawford's 5 star ,but I've not seen any for a while.
Can't believe no-one has mentioned Clynelish yet - nectar of the Gods!

Just found out that Crawfords 5 star is no longer ,there's a firm in Edinburgh selling a bottle for £125 !!! I know I liked it a lot --- but not that much.

I was at a fantastic whisky tasting at Balmoral Castle, as part of the Dalmore rivers series. They made whiskys for the Dee, Spey, Tay and Tweed. All are different and are designed to reflect the river. I don't know about that, but we got to taste a lot of whisky and lots of different types and ages. We were taught to drink it properly, and this was not as flouncy as it sounds. The chap demonstrating was a real expert, really funny and showed us how to best enjoy them. I have drunk whisky for years, but i did learn what to do and how to get the best from it. Unfortunately we drank rather a lot of it and i cannot remember what we have to do!!!
Ok, in the pub i wont swirl it and all that, but i will enjoy it more.
Of the lot the Dee Dram, a fine dalmore as my favourite, and of course, a small percentage of each bottle goes to the river trust. It was smooth and easy to drink. It comes in a fancy box as well if it is for a gift. I get one for my dads christmas every year, and so can enjoy a bit each visit.
