MercTech..............when I was in the Brit Merchant Navy, we used to carry a really good Caribbean rum to the west coast of the states. It was called Hudson Bay and was powerful stuff. A lot of it used to get mislaid from the cargo and put down as 'smashed due to inclement weather'.................Do you know if you can still get it ? The rums that are made in this country are disgusting and taste very like the cough mixture my father used to take for bronchitis.

On the rare occasions I drink anything I am a Crown Royal fan. Not mixed, shots. That is the extent of my whiskey knowledge.

I'd recommend you have a pop at Black Bushmills. I was given a bottle of Bushmills 1608 a while back, and it's lovely too.

I'm a Glengoyne fan. A Scottish single malt that is smooth, and has an after taste of caramel. Very nice with a really good coffee on the side. needles

Glenmorangie here, altho I havent tasted it for a few years. Only single malt scotch for me, my dad was a bit of a whisky freak, it got passed on. He did instill the rule that the only thing that should be added to a shot of single malt, is another shot of the same. No ice, no water, no mix.. I can only drink it straight.

when my ex, and I split up there was a £35 bottle of single malt that 'we' had bought together. by that I mean he chose it, I wasn't that thrilled with it, and actually wanted a different one, but I ended up paying for it anyway. he, however, thought it was wonderful, so I took great pleasure in putting it in angel delight, coffee, over ice-cream, in cakes, and anything that would have made him scream lol I used 3/4 of a bottle doing that [:D] I'm with Lucylastic though in general, it has to be single malt, and you do not add anything to it. my son on the other hand is a JD lover, and drinks it with coke. I've tried to like it, but I just can't. I've even tried the honey one too. it was rather like a cock; nice while it was in my mouth, but the after taste let it down. needles

Lucylastic -> RE: Favourite Whisky? (4/23/2015 9:24:14 AM)
LMFAO...oh Needles that hit a funny bone hard:)

May radically improve your experience. Jus sayin

Bourbon needs to be made in America from at least 51% corn, whiskey does not. All bourbons are whiskey, but not all whiskies are bourbon.

I've had cock with chilli. it wasn't intentional, but added an interesting twist [:D] Champagne was intentional, and that was nice. Deep throat was tried to see if that would help, but I gotta tell you guys, your stuff is damn persistent on letting you know it's been in your mouth lol needles

Drambuie is a sweet, golden coloured 40% ABV (80-proof) liqueur made from scotch whisky, honey, herbs and spices Glayva is made from a blend of aged Scotch whiskies, a selected range of spices, Mediterranean tangerines, cinnamon, almonds and honey. It has a deep golden colour and a distinctive flavour I prefer those - but both are exceptionally sweet.

Lucylastic -> RE: Favourite Whisky? (4/25/2015 8:57:44 AM)
mmmmmmm drambuie yummy stuff,

ARIES83 -> RE: Favourite Whisky? (4/27/2015 11:08:08 PM)
I'm still trying to track down some of the suggestions from local suppliers. I'll post my reviews on here sometime in the future for anyone that's interested.
