English whisky bottled for first time in a century

[jaffa]

They are both very very fine indeed

I never could tell the difference, Bush or Black Bush.

I must say I used to like the bird though but I don't touch the stuff anymore...Whiskey that is NOT alcohol...roud:

 

[hamba]

I don't drink much at all these days but I do like the odd whisky/whiskey. It's one of the few alcoholic drinks that doesn't upset my system.

Macallan is my favorite malt, used to be partial to 100 pipers blend when i was younger.

Jamesons is lovely - and Black Bush...

A joy!

I worked in a whisky shop and it was one of the best jobs i ever had and yes we got to try every one on sale. (tough job)
If you love a drop of Jamesons and Black Bush then you must try Auchentoshan or Glengoyne which are the two smoothest whisky's from Scotland.
Glengoyne is now my dads tipple at Christmas.

Personally i like Poit Dhubh(pronounced pot doobie) 8 Year Old and Té Bheag (tee bag)Unchilfiltered which is the blended version.
Both are cheap and take a bit of getting used to but well worth the effort..

......you must try Auchentoshan

One of the unsung gems, but don't go telling people about it. If it gets too popular they'll start charging what it's really worth!

Lovely stuff.

 

[hamba]

I'll have to give the Auchentoshan a try.

Mind you, my wife bought me a bottle of Glenfiddich for my birthday, in June, and I've only had abot a third of it.

I'm not surprised. I don't like the Island Malts. They all taste like medicine.

Glencoyne and Auchentoshan are the two "Lowland" distilleries and are often overlooked in favour of the Highland and Island brands. They're both excellent malts though.

I'm a landowner because of that fine spirit Laphroaig (La froig).

It's actually a lifetime lease of a square foot of the Isle of Islay, I can also charge rent, which is a dram a year, but I'd need to travel there to collect.

You need to get the barcode of your bottle registered to become a "Friend of Laphroaig", and your own plot
--
At the moment, my malt of choice is Islay, but special mention goes to Glen Moray, which is a Speyside.
--
As for English wh***y, if ah had some, ah widnae drink it!!!

Same as Japanese whisky, I would never buy, nor drink it. might use it to wash my boots though.
Some things are just not meant to be.
--
Strangely enough, I don't mind the sour mash whiskey from the states, and although I haven't tried it yet, I thimk I'll give Bushmills a try next time I'm in the mood.

The water of life affects different people differently, only a few days ago I found out that a mate had gotten up to some particularly nasty $h1t while on the drink, he's looking at a long stay in the big house without a doubt, the more I hear about it & his past, then they should throw the key away.

Some people are not wired up correctly, and the whisky seems to bring out the bad (psychotic) side.

I would have agreed with you up until a couple of years ago, until my eldest, who lives in Japan, brought me a bottle of this for Christmas.
