What is the best whisky

[Heather Hugger]

Glenfarclas 105 or any other Glenfarclas, good stuff!

 

[Salmo Salar]

Easily gotten and very easy to drink is The Singleton, very smooth, similar to Balvenie but I think it has the edge over it.
I think my Favourite has to be Tamnavulin Glenlivet, again not overly expensive but if you take the cork out you dont want to put it back and on several occasions I havent!! If you've not tried it, look out for it, it really is special.

I have never been a fan of the whiskies from Scotland be it blended or single malt !

I can make do with Jameson's or Bushmill's .

But if I'm going to drink any amount I prefer Jack Daniels or Wild Turkey Rare Breed .

I used to drink "Makers mark" Kentucky bourbon - unbelievably smooth, goes well with a beer. Haven't tried Jack Daniels since I was 15, yuck
I hardly drink these days but Jameson is a good all rounder
Scotch whisky, would have to be Caol Ila or Balvenie

I like Oban whisky if I'm having a drop

I was given a bottle of Hanky Banister 4 years or so ago and it was the best i had ever drank .Sadly i cant afford it so it will be my first and last bottle. Glen luvette is nice on a saturday night.

When I was young and underage I drank a Kentucky Bourbon called "Rebel Yell" and it wasn't to bad . I had not tasted the stuff in 20 some years and a old school chum gave me a half gallon for Xmas 2 years ago . i dunno if my taste changed or their distilling practices changed but the Rebel Yel was rough as a corn cob now LOL's !

Lving in the southern part of the USA as I do , "most" young men grew up on Jack Daniels . And it still tastes pretty darned good to me . Especially when I've been out hunting in he cold and come back in for a couple shots . But I gotta admit that Wild Turkey Rare Breed is alot SMOOTHER !

PENDERYN without any doubt, but how many of you have tried it?

 

[Monarch Country Products]

Mortlach 16yr old - quite sweet with traces of maple syrup, had never come across this before Glen Eagles this year and the barmans recommendation, has to be the best I've tried.

I'd recommend anyone to visit www.ralfy.com he has done video appreciations of "hunners o' whiskies" and you'll enjoy learning from him. Somewhere in there he'll tell you about one (or maybe several) that you'll really like.

Unfortunately the whisky industry has been tainted by it's own success IMO
and they let the marketing people out of their cages and they colluded with the accountants who decided sitting on stock was a bad idea so "lets get it out the door!"

huge amount of whiskies on the shelves under one label have been no closer to that distillery on the label than I have.
bought in bulk as raw spirit, casked up and stored for a while and then wheeled out as a "long lost specials"!!

any of the new brands that pop up could be anything.
Malts by definition they may be but they are no better than blends


I had the pleasure of being in a bonded warehouse of an Island Malt distillery with the distillery manager who had worked their man and boy.
He showed me a cask of 42yr old bourbon casked malt, he was working the filling room when they filled this cask......42 years earlier.

we had a "wee sample"and between 8 of us we had about 2/3 of a pint!

it sells for over £1500 and £300 a dram in some "golfing" hotels

simply stunning!

Is that a whisky or a sexual preference?

 

[User00026]

well, if it wasn't the whisky, one would get a lot of bang for your buck, that's for sure!
