Paging the whiskey aficionados ....

[slparry]

Over the years I've tried various blended and single malts and just find all of them a bit harsh and burny on the throat.

I've found many Cognac's to be smooth. I find Jack Daniels to be smooth. So surely there must be a Scotch out there that is palatable? So what do I ask for as a guaranteed smooth Scotch when I next visit Porridgestan?

Oh and I don't want to put water in it

[Harry Lime]

I'l be no help. Talisker, when I can afford it. Laphroiag when I can't. Beer when I can't afford either.

You're going to have to go east coast. There's something with a sailor on it which is pretty smooth ( boring ).

We need something like this, but for Scotchland.

Oddly enough Dave I haven't <thinks> I have fleeting suspicion it may have been in the bar at the Wild Pheasant?

Myself i like the irish ones

[mikek_7]

Iwhen staying in France a few years ago in a B&Bm the owner was very insistant that French whisky was vastly superior to the Scots stuff. Didn't try it.

Personally, I'm with Dai - Irish everytime, but only if there is no rum available.

2004 S Yellow/Grey - the best colour

Now i do like a drop of rum particularly any of the dark ones but saying that lydl's are selling a good one they call it a dark but it's more of a honey colour similar to Morgan's spiced
Now where did I put that black bush Dai

[Wavey]

Off the top of my head Steve, I would advise you of the following:

Look out for:
Glenlivet
Glenmorangie
Isle Of Jura

Avoid:
Laphroaig
Talisker

If you like the taste of TCP reverse the above

My favourite is Goslings Black Seal ... well, maybe one later as a nightcap when I get back from the pub!
Sorry, didn;t mean to turn this into a rum thread!

Steve come back to the West Country and well take you to a local pub that must have at least a 100 different wikkies,
You could try a few out to see which you like

Infact why not have a Boxertrix beverage sampling weekend

[pbikerharry]

Like a bit of Blackbush myself (or a brazilian)

I agree with you Dai, re Irish Whiskey.

Hard to beat Jamesons or Bushmills.

We're just waiting for you to organise it

10 or 15 year old Macallan, very smooth, not too expensive

Unfortunately I tend to run dry of Macallan very quickly, Let's just say once the top's off, it's not needed anymore

[slparry]

Cool .... so Macallan on the list

I know it's bourbon but with Jack Daniels I can swig a measure back and it's pleasurable, whereas if I do that with the scotches I'm left coughing at the harsh burning sensation
