Might as well pour it down the drain the minute anything is added!
Bruichladdich Port Charlotte is even better.
I have visited the Penderyn distillery and done a tasting - some are distinctly different and not all 'super' quality or rather to my taste - so there's a few to try.
I cant take the very peaty whiskys like Lagavulin, Talisker, too much tannin and a bad headache after. I prefer light and thus Dalwhinnie, is my favourite
I cant say I like whiskeys at all but the (amazingly) Japanese whiskey's are very, very good.
Still if the Independence vote goes ahead again, at least I will have whiskey for the rest of my life as I wont be drinking Scotch.
Any whisky fits the bill in the correct circumstances - hard day, log fire (as above), Any one is better than none at all in such circumstances.
This is good but expensive.

Ah the sainted Bushmills - oldest distillery in the world and they even know how to spell whiskey!Here's a few I've yet to start on. Another one to try is bush mills I have fond memories of it from my time spent living across the Irish SeaView attachment 262572
Bless.
That's maybe more what I was driving at , I fell in love with whisky in a keepers house after a freezing day on the hill up to my knees in snow.
Sat by a fire with a bottle and two glasses, absolute magic.

Not necessarily sir! A matching measure of water can transform a whiskey for those tyros who struggle with the “fuller” taste. As my dear old dad used to say “water is fine as long as it’s taken in the right spirit”! I think of him every time I have a dram.
I love a dram but even just one gives me a thumping headache the next day I am afraid so have several to ensure I only suffer once.
Ha ha, years ago I’d drink it neat but now I enjoy my drinks chilled. Strangely enough that includes espresso coffee

Many experts reckon that a good whiskey improves when a drop of water is added as it "opens up the whiskey".Ha ha, years ago I’d drink it neat but now I enjoy my drinks chilled. Strangely enough that includes espresso coffee

I like my red wine chilled on a hot summers evening.
That talisker Skye is fantastic
Majority of whisky is diluted down to 40% already.
I prefer cask strength but not easy to find in the chain stores.
40% is about where it needs to be in my own opinion, I was asked to try these three varieities by the owner of the company who was on a tour of the Ring of Kerry the other day promoting his products.
Two of them were 46% and one was 56%, the 56% was just too harsh neat and the other two would have benefited from a drop of water.
He called the drink after his great, great, great, grand uncle Daniel O Connell who used to live just down the road.
It'll be selling in the pub for 8-9 euro a drop which is a competitive price category. Can't see it competing with the likes of Dingle or the various Jameson's in that price bracket.

I’m another for Pendeyn but has to be the Madeira cask one the other three don’t really do it for me. On a side note Tesco now and again have a £10 off but that might just be up here in Wales. Seen it as much as £57 but never paid more than £32 for a bottle myself.
There was one whisky I'll admit to Having to add a droplet of water too, the Tamnavulin finished in the red wine cask, Christ that was hard going that one.
