Let's talk Whisky!

Single malt?
Blends?
Bourbon?
Rye?
Scotch?

What’s your posion and why?

I like a single malt scotch, not too peaty and not to medicine like. Soemwhere in between and I like a quinto rubana where teh scotch has taken on flavour from sitting in a port barrel for a few years.

How about you? Or do you like lite beer with a nipple on the bottle? :smiley:

I’ll have a milk, bartender. :stuck_out_tongue:

crown royal is my staple…

mcallen single malt scotch. 15yrs. why because it taste like ambrosia.

I’ve only tried a few single malts-the usual suspects-glennlivett, glenfiddich (sp?) Mcallen..I like Glenlivett thye best so far-smokey and smooth.
Although one of my students got me a bottle of JWR, and it’s starting to grow on me. I think anything I drink for awhile starts to taste better…
I’ve also gotten to like Jack Daniels as of late. Again, It seems the more I drink it, the smoother it gets. I’ve been meaning to try Gentleman Jack. I’ve heard good things about it.

Havn’t been a whiskey drinker for 40 years. Canadian Mist back then. Alcoholic battles with all the major players when I was younger, not a regular drinker for the last 10 years or so. Saki or Chinese rice wine is the only sauce I truly enjoy to slog around on occasionally now. (room temp, slug from the bottle). Cheers! :smiley:

Jameson would be my pick…

I can’t afford the really good stuff, but a single malt scotch is my choice. I’ve found a few good ones for pretty cheap: Benromasch is one no one’s named. prob’ only a seven year, but for $32.00 it’s very tasty. Glenmorangie has some very good ones for a little more. right now I have Balvenie Doublewood (oak and cherry casks) 12 years, holiday gift from boss.

don’t like Islay (sea salt makes me…), don’t like when it tastes like formaldehyde, otherwise, love it.

Straight, beer is the best chaser. (but which beer is another thread :slight_smile: )

Glenlivet 12 yr single malt Scotch for me.
My Dad has a fondness for the 12 yr ( or older) Chivas.

I made a mistake. The second cask in the Doublewood is not ‘cherry’ it is ‘sherry oak.’ Sorry hate to contribute more misinformation to the kung fu world. :slight_smile:

nice drinkies.

Shellie, you like the Irish whisky eh?
Ever tried a scotch? It goes beyond! lol

Not a big rye drinker, I would consider my bottom of the barrel Canadian whiskey to start at Crown Royal and Gibsons. I refuse to do others with the exception of perhaps a special edition wisers deluxe.

For Bourbon, Woodford reserve. Best bourbon I’ve had. Not a Jack Fan, but the special brew is actually not that bad (Gentleman Jack’s)

For Scotch, JW Blue is pretty up there flavour wise, I have a 21 yr old Glenlivet that is straight from gods nipples I’m pretty sure.

Double oaked single malts are indeed tasty provided they get the port or sherry barrels right.

gibsons is alright… but i still like crown better… but its a blended whiskey, made from milled corn, rye and malted barley… i dont drink expensive booze very often… i thought you meant what do we dink on the regular… as for the pricey stuff, single malt… and like a few have said, not tasting like medicine or formaldahyde… yech:mad:… but there are a handfull of really good ones easilly available… i too prefer barley over rye, but probably only cause its what im used to cause it was gramps fav… best i ever had was a highland single malt, cant remember the name right now… im no connoisseur tho… my grampa was right into it, most i learned from him… the stuff he made was pretty good too…

blech i stick to mead, absinthe, ouzo and some spanish wines and scottish beer thank you very much. :stuck_out_tongue:

ive never actuallyhad real wormwood booze… i heard it tastes like shyte…

is that fake absynth stuff any good goju??? or did you mean you like the real deal?? and if so, where you get that??? did you order it online???

coz the stuff you can get locally, atleast here, is not wormwood at all… but i know cats who have been able to get it thru the mail…

as far as types of wines… chianti is at the top of my list… way ahead of the rest… dunno why, i just like it best…

ive had the more watered down stuff and teh real stuff

the bigget difference is the taste teh real can be more bitter and knock you on your @ss easier

the greek ouzo tastes pretty much the same though and is cheaper/easier to get your hands on

both basically just taste like a real strong licorice drink so its best to mix it with something if youre a more for taste type of drinker

I don’t much care for scotch whiskies. I drink a lot of Canadian blends. Blended Canadian whisky is smooth and tastes good. Second to that I like a good bourbon whisky.
Once knew an old man that made bourbon. He malted his own corn and barley. He bought fresh barrels and would put certain sugars in rain water in them and left it for a long time. Dried them good and then burned them out. Carmalizing the sugars in the wood and bringing out many other flavors. He also added additional burnt woods into the barrels and he could age whisky that tasted like 15 year old in about 18 months. You would have to sip some of this brew to appreciate what he could do. I drink approximately 5.25 liters of whisky every month.

i heard it tastes like sh!t… but ive never tried, myself… real wormwood apparently needs to be mixed well to be drinkable… true???

wormwood booze is illegal in most if not all states correct??? im still suprised salvia is legal pretty much everywhere… that sh!t is crazy… but pot is NOT OK… and they will even extradite(sp?) activist politicians over it… big money in that drug war stuff… big money…

G Spirits

The quote below is from their NSFW website.

The idea of founding our own spirit label was born in our time as barkeepers in a ****tail bar.

Even in those days we only worked with the best spirits to achieve an optimal taste adventure. With age our experience and aspiration increased. However, we noticed quickly that it’s not just the taste which makes you enjoy a drink fully. Good flavour is the basis, the conveying feeling, the highlight. Because of our great interest in the best spirits, we came across a Vodka, filtered above diamonds. A nice idea to convey the feeling. However, for us there is nothing more than the erotism of a beautiful woman. To create the perfect taste we let every single drop of our spirits run over the breasts of a special type of woman, a type we recognize in this liquor.

This sensuality awakens the true character of our brands and gives them an identity, a soul, a spirit, a G-Spirit.

And of course, the whiskey…would this be overly peaty or teaty?

The G.Whisky No.1

What concerns our G-Whisky No.1 we are highly proud we found it. What we are most proud to, is that we won the current Playmate Of The Year over for this whisky. Gorgeous Alexa Varga put the finishing touches to our singlemalt and makes it to something special.

G-Spirits: First of all congratulation on becoming Playmate Of The Year! A title you have more than derserved.

Alexa: Thank you very much! Yes, all in all it was a quite exciting evening and of course I´m very proud to hold that title. To become one of the first G-Spirit-Girls a moment after, honours me.

G-Spirits: The pleasure is all ours. How do you continue after all this success?

Alexa: After all this media hype I’ll take some time off. I really love my job, but it can be exhausting, too.

G-Spirits: Thats true, we understand that. At 8 a.m. this morning, you even gave a TV interview, and just moments later you went to Munich by airplane to join our campaign.

Alexa: Like I said, quite exhausting, but however, I was full of anticipation towards the Shooting.

G-Spirits: The G in our label stands for gentleman. What characterizes a real gentleman in your mind?

Alexa: A real gentleman distinguish himself by being obliging and caring. He knows how to treat ladys.

G-Spirits: Other characterisitcs a man must have?

Alexa: He has to be honest, faithful and needs a sense of humour.

G-Spirits: We award our whisky a high degree of class, intensity and versatility. Features you apply to?

Alexa: Hm, I would say it’s for others to judge if you have class or not. What belongs to intensity, I approach everything with great ambition and I try to implement it thoroughly. I always give my best. Moreover I have an open mind towards new things, so I guess I’m quite versatile. That’s why I didn’t consider long about your job offer.
