Bourbon

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Stopped drinking Jim Beam after chrimbo...i was having 2 bottles a weekend and my system was getting immune to the stuff!! No doubt i shall return to my wicked ways before long like.

I'm not a fan of bourbon but if you are check out Woodfords Reserve.

[RJ Fan club]

RK is 100% correct on the supermarket thing, bollocks to that. The Gentleman Jack really is worth the money.

 

Anyone had Johnnie Walker? Fancy trying it but can't get my head around all the colour coded shit.

 

I used to be partial to JW Black Label years ago, nice drop. Maybe try in the pub before 'investing' in a bottle

I had a bit of a tasting session round at my mates (he's got his own bar, the flash cunt)

 

As far as I can remember, the red is run of the mill scotch, not up to much. The black label is the one to go for for general drinking. He also had a green label (quite peaty, more like a single malt) and a blue label which was astonishingly good but also astonishingly expensive.

[RedKnight]

Does that not make the drinks warm?

 

No, it's a boiler not a radiator.

Ace, ever try JW Gold?

[Anny Road]

You want to try Clynelish 14 year old. £20 quid a pop cheaper and used to make the bulk of Gold label

[Barzini]

Ace, ever try JW Gold?

 

Never tried it, in fact I've never even seen it.

 

Black label is good enough for a pleb like me.

I'm not a huge whisky drinker, but I have developed a taste for it over the past few years.

 

I always drink JD on nights out nowadays, love the stuff.

 

My old man is a big supper of whiskey, especially malts. He always has it neat. I often join him but I've got to admit I do find it quite harsh to taste, especially if I'm not already leathered when I get on to it, but i'll always sup it with him anyway to save face!

 

Anyway, and we bought him a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label for his birthday last year which if I remember rightly was around 150quid a bottle. He has only had the odd shlurp out of it, saved for special occasions. I had a glass with him the other week. My word, absolutely stunning. So smooth, and very warming as you drank it without the harshness of a cheaper drop. You could definitely taste what you were paying for, I'd deffo recommend the stuff even for those not overly keen on whiskey.

[Anny Road]

No offence to you Randy but you have to be off your head paying £150 for a bottle of blue label. There are far far better whiskies out there for 1/2 that

It was a big gift pack, a few of posh glasses and shit like that but I know what you mean!

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I still drink or bare the thought of Neat spirits, perhaps it'll come with age.

On JW a simple guide

 

Red-firewater

 

Black-good stuff, nice drink of an eve.

 

Green-really like this stuff, as mentioned before peaty and lovely!

 

Gold-beautiful

 

Blue-overrated, over expensive shite. If you're looking to spend that much there are far better available.

[Fowlers God]

smashed a bottle of this on my birthday;

 

[VladimirIlyich]

I've only ever tasted JD and Jim Bean White label of all the bourbons and Glenmorangie is the only single malt I've ever tasted.

 

I would love to expand my taste in Bourbons and Single Malts but I wouldnt know where to start.

[Special K]

Woodford Reserve or Four Roses for me

Anny really knows his shit he'll be the man to ask.

 

My advice pick up a bottle on the fortnight/monthly shop and work your way though then at your own leisure, once you know what you like then start specialising a bit more.

[Malarkey]

Woodford reserve is a superb shout. I like bourbon. I can stomach it more than a malt whiskey over ice.

 

Makers Mark is my weapon of choice. Fine old Kentucky bourbon.

This stuff always comes up in crime novels where the lead figure usually drinks it.

Never read a crime novel.

 

I'll be sure to now though. With my Maker over ice.

We could set up some sort of TLW whisky society. I get the stuff at trade cost price and would be happy to send them out at cost. How we would do it I have no idea but it's an idea.

[Lee909]

Forgot about makers mark.

Add that to the Woodford reserve and bulliet,all three very good.

Bulliet is slightly cheaper than the other two,all three worth the money mind(£20-25)

[Jarvinja Ilnow]

4 Roses isnt too bad, either

Pull your shit together and make sense! I was in the lift earlier today with you Paulie, so close I could lick you, and you didn't know me. Xxxxx
