Whisky doesn’t improve with age in the bottle.
Whisky is the second biggest export from Britain.
Auchentoshan is one of my favourites if you get the good one, 18+ years, triple distilled.
Normally I prefer smokey, peaty whiskies.
Warm milk + whisky is actually damned fine. Don’t knock it until tied. ( I meant tried but hell, tied sounds good)
I’m quite sure whisky helps a sore throat or cold.
Luv my Johnny Blue!
Johnny Blue is damned fine and damned expensive

Hell, back then the booze was 1st on the manifest!

I guess it was survival gear LOL I don’t drink so I never thought of that. I guess without Gore-Tex they needed something.
And thank-you, would you or anyone you know like to buy a used IPF approved squat suit, that will soon be illegal in IPF meets?
chicken and mag,
ill happily share a drink of my blue label with you
Whyte and Mackay think they can re-create the flavour if they get proper access to the cases and they think it will be a bit of beast. Sorry if that was in the link, I didn’t bother reading it as it was in the paper yesterday!
And as it’s my first post, I’ll come bearing gifts.

The link has a newly completed ‘Whisky Map’. It has most of Scotland’s top malts on it and is great if you fancy trying something new but don’t like spending a load of cash on something you can barely stomach.
Cheers,
Q.
I am new to scotch whiskey I just bought a bottle of DeWar’s White Label. You guys have any recommendations on other good whiskeys to try ?

Blantons - runs about $50/bottle.
JD is my normal sipping whiskey, tastes damn good at a reasonable price (but stay away from JD Single Barrel).
I’m not a huge fan of the Johnny Walkers. Blue label is pretty smooth (for $200 it better be!) but I don’t like the taste so much.
I’d pay a hefty penny to get me some of the Shackleton whiskey they dug up.

Wow, I don’t remember typing that. Must have been real drunk, considering the time, and stupid comment in general. HAH.
Can drink Black Label any time , practically no hangover.
Glenmorangie is great but has a kick to it

Give Glenlivet a try. It’s sort of an entry single-malt…not “entry” by price necessarily but in terms of giving you a general indication of what single-malt tastes like without bombarding you with too much peaty smoke.
