For me it is lovely, but only in single malt form and without any pollutant; i.e. water, lemonade, coke, ice, etc!! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :y :y

Ah, that'll be you that voted for option 1 then James. ::) :D

I do really like the stuff, particularly a good malt but don't mind a drop of blended now and then. However, can't drink it too often as it doesn't like me so much ::) and I'm kind of attached to my liver, so voted for option 3. :y

Tryed JD a couple of times and it was rather brillant ::)

It has been one of my regrets in life (you can tell I haven't had many!) that I never liked whiskey. All the craftsmenship that goes into it compared with the churned out Vodka for example.

I do like a nice sherry though. That is a crafted drink too. So many more forms than your Harveys Bristol Cream drunk by the thimbleful by WI ladies. Went to a bar the other day and they produced chilled glasses before serving!

Well after the amount of porky pies he told on Friday night, I think he can give Loo-Knee a good run for his post count ;D ;D...........we should have a poll on whether to change Moanalot's Forum name to SirLiealot :y ;D

I've voted appropriately but I don't think I'll be drinking it in any measure more than a taster in future... It doesn't affect me in a nice way (and I'm not referring to the morning after) and Mrs LD doesn't like the results so.... Not going to be drinking it again for a while.

It's strange how it changes people so much though ::) ::) :-? :-?

Had a couple of glasses of Bushmills the other evening...  Made a nice change to have some whiskey from Ireland rather than my normal whisky (note lack of the e) from up this neck of the woods....

I invariably have a dram before bedtime.  Like Ms Zoom, prefer it neat but also partial to a goodly ice cube with the straight from the cask, full strength types.  Brings out the best of it.   Thins the blood and good for the pin, doncha know.....   ;)
Title: Re: do you
Post by: candyman on 07 July 2009, 23:31:56
either straight eg if im out fishing off a boat etc, or a few ice cubes or if goin to be on it all nite cheap lemonade, not coke.  very expensive but i like the single ten year malt as well.

rather hate the stuff, much prefer brandy personally. Unfortunately brandy really doesnt like me and will need a whole packet of Gavascon to calm the heart burn. Shame as i let slip one xmas and was given 3 or 4 bottles, can barely drink it now and had to give it away.

I take it you are referring to Bourbon or Irish whiskey, not scotch whisky?

 :-?

If it's scotch you are talking about, I can manage a fair few halves.

SWMBO says too many! 8-)

What does she know, it's lovely! :D

Thank goodness I was not the only one to pick up on the 'e'.

Sorry, this is coming from someone who works in the scotch whisky industry.

Maybe thats why I like it so much?

I'm no expert but blends are a tad rough & as Lizzie said i only take it in a nip or dram? It's not a drink to mix.
   Is it J&B that's an Irish whiskey? Love that!!!! :P
