Scotch...

[virginiajim]

I drink GlenLivet, both 10 and 15 year versions and like it very much (15 is better than 10).  I decided to try another brand called Talisker (10 year more expensive than Glenlivet 10 and it was in a nice blue box).  It was so awful I nearly spit it out.  Made by the sea it says.  I can quite imagine it was made out of sea water.  Anyone else like that and what's a good Scotch to drink besides GlenLivet?  I want to broaden my horizons.

Tallisker, on the isle of Skye. Been there, sampled and bought the produce. Very nice it is too. Shame on you for disrespecting our plonk!

You know it smells like Scotch with some sort of after taste that's God awful...  I really wanted to like it considering how much I spent on it.  Maybe I'll just have to drink more of it in one sitting and it will grow on me.

Either that or you'll get to a point where you just don't care what it tastes like!

I'm currently sampling Cardhu gold reserve, and very nice it is too! Rich and mellow, with warm notes of baked apple and toffee.... it says on the box.... I just think it tastes nice!

I prefer the peaty single malts, Jura being a big favourite, but I'm not really a Whiskey drinker.
Gimme a nice Pastis and I'm happy.

Bushmills black is a nice Irish

Sounds like you need to avoid the island malts and those that are the smokie peaty ones.

I like Knockando but try any of the speyside and lowland malts

Try this guide.........

I have tried inchgower single malt very very nice.
A bit pricey though

I've said it before Jim, this is the only Whiskey (note the spelling ) for me, hopefully you will be able to source it in the States.

I'll have to see if they have it over here.

Triple blending makes for a smooth drink, the only thing you will need to add ......is another     

[virginiajim]

That's the way I like it....straight up.  If you have to mix it with something else......what's the point?

Best whisky I ever tasted was Japanese
