Whisky

[Flying Pig]

Recommend me some red-eye please chaps. Only just got into the stuff and took a likening to it.

 

PS. Although I'm ridiculous handsome and ooze sex, I am not made of money so keep your recommendation affordable.

 

Ta.

[Baldi]

Try Jura...hint of liquorice to it...very moorish

[the walsh]

dont know if you can get were you are but tullamore dew is a nice whisky

[celeryBADboy]

Jure or Tenhigh are wonderful whiskeys I love Jura though.

[zigackly]

Any of the following Islay malts;

 

Laphroig, Lagavulin, Kilchoman, Bruichladdich, Caol Ila, Bunnahabhain, Ardbeg.

 

Especially if you can get an unfiltered one.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Bought a 12 yo Dalmore for about 40€ last month, very nice tipple.

[Remmie]

Do you prefer peated or unpeated?

if you arent made of money then Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie and Laphroiagh are good without being insanely expensive

Was at the wifes folks the other day and her dad opened a bottle that was a twelve year old kind of a big deal bottle that he got for his 30th birthday making it 42 years old. I'm no whisky fan but it tasted real nice. Also felt rather nice that he'd share it with me.

Quality that mate. I get my Dad a bottle of Hine cognac most Christmases. My Mum told me he only gets the bottle out when I go & visit.

Had a couple of glasses of Jura last night. Never tried it before but it is lovely stuff.

Serious flavours going on in this bunch. Laphroiag is probably best value. Lagavulin is my personal favourite.

[Unrighteous]

Jura's Superstition, Origin, and Duirach's Own are all amazing.

 

I am a fan of Angnoc, various Bruichladdich, Glendullan, and Macallan

 

Currently have a bottle of Supersition, and a Macallan 15yr

[mattyq]

Was up in Islay over the summer...lovely wild place. Bowmore was my favourite but the Laphroaig was the best distillery. fantastic place.

Like the stuff from Tobermory too but overall a good Macallan is my poison of choice

I'm in love with Blackadder Caol Ila, but they only made 238 bottles and it's upwards of £100 a pop.

[Trumo]

Try anything by Aberlour.

[celeryBADboy]

There isn't a whiskey better than ten high its rare though I'd be a alcoholic if I ever found where to buy buy it.

[Flying Pig]

Cheers chaps. Laphroiagh seems to be a decent one to start.

 

Look out for me pretending to be drunk in a few days by spelling things wrong.

[Anny Road]

Try a Clynelish if you like something a little bit more gentle than an Islay but still with plenty of body.

How about a Benriach Curiositas for a less expensive heavily peated speyside, cracking stuff just like a Ardbeg.

Aberlour Abunadh if you want one of the creamiest whiskies you will ever taste without paying silly money or a bottle of cheap and cheerful Glen Moray, under 20 quid no age but lovely and light, good for breakfast.

 

I love Laphroaig but it's not everyone's cup of tea. My old man would drink anything but I gave him a bottle and he gave it me back saying it was off and tasted of piss.

[zigackly]

This thread is not helping my not drinking kick. I might have to indulge in a bottle of something just for medicinal purposes.

[RedinSweden]

I'm firmly in the Islay camp, with Caol Ila and Lagavulin being particular favourites. I would recommend trying different ones from different regions and then finding one you like and starting with that area first. I have had some very expensive ones that did very little for me and yet the ones I love are pretty reasonable for the standard versions. Then when you find one you like, you can go for specials of it.

 

My only tip is not to go on the forum after drinking it. Some twats do that and make a complete arse of themselves.

[greenoak]

The Islay whisky are like a really hot curry, and need to be savoured.

 

A really good cheapish everyday malt is a Dalwhinnie. 15 year old rather than standard 12 to boot. Try it with a tiny bit of chocolate, really brings out the taste.

 

Just came back from Scotland and visited Oban, Ben nevis Tallisker and dalwhinnie, so nicely stocked up on the specials

Can not believe im the only one mentioning Ten High seriously its what legends are made of id kill for some right now.

I feel I need to help you out here. Ten High is a Bourbon, also known as "whiskey", but never "whisky". It comes from America, not Scotland.
