Whiskey

[Steven P]

Watching Deadwood has turned me on to drinking whiskey. Anyone a whiskey fan, with recommendations?

I bought a bottle of Maker's Mark the other day. It's quite good, almost has a cinnamon taste to it. I drink it with Coke. Just tried it with Passion Fruit juice earlier today.

[wonki wonki]

I prefer whisky to whiskey myself.

[hippyjonny]

i gotta say you cant go wrong black label. nice and peety but not as expensive as a single malt.

[Johnney5]

i love the crown when i go k-clubbing.

kidding. seriously though, jack is my best friend. i tried single barrel once and i swear it probably burned up 65% of my organs.

[YelloKitty]

i like ending a drunken night with makers on the rocks.

[cabbagechild]

i eat a lot of whisky when i'm on a diet.

[Empty Screams]

Knob Creek or Makers on the rocks. Fuck all that juice shit. I would only drink it with coke if it was JD or Wild Turkey.

[falcor]

ugh. i like jim beam. neat.

[akuma]

double makers on teh rox & i'm good to go

[Johnney5]

[hippyjonny]

yeah you cant go wrong with jd. and for some reason jd doesnt give me the asian mask.

[ironmonqui]

I too, try to replace beer with whiskey when I get a little girthy...

My fave is a Powers whiskey sour... yum yes!

It's Irish and it's not expensive and I fucking like it, so shut the fuck up. I'm ghetto

[YelloKitty]

this needs to be bumped like whoa.

for some reason i've been having odd cravings for whiskey. i am not knowledgeable about the different types and i am willing to learn more about it. i think a visit to edinburgh is in order, peoples!!!

['jim]

never got into drinking a lot of whiskeys just JB or JD.

I kinda lost my taste for hard liquor lately...

I love JD to death (and I probably will end up loving it to death) but I've been drinking a lot of Johnnie Black with my friend's pop lately. Dude is like 75 and still throwing that shit back like nothing!

[tangent23]

i wrote this in the scotch thread but at the moment i have been drinking jameson's [+dry] when i've been out, cause i like the lighter feel [too much scotch makes me feel queasy] and i can drink a whole bottle and not be sick or have a headache the next morning [won't stop me talking shit to random strangers though]..

[Humbaba]

You know more about it than me...But truth be told, I only love jameson out of the world of whisk(e/E)y....

[YelloKitty]

once i mixed hot water, honey, lemon and whiskey (cheap stuff, "old grandads") and drank it as a cold remedy. it didn't work all that well, but i fell asleep pretty quickly.

[Humbaba]

no cold remedy works all that well..But your hot toddy probably worked as well as "theraflu"...

[GONG_LORD]

Wild Turkey and Coke.

Japanese drinkers snap up whisky bottles -- at a million yen each

Thu May 12,11:45 PM ET

One million yen (9,360 dollars) may seem a fortune for a liquor bottle, but a Japanese seller said its premium whisky distilled over half a century has been such a hit it stopped accepting orders within a day.

Suntory Ltd. announced the sale of the liquor, Yamazaki 50 Years, billed as "a jewel of single-malt whisky", on its website Wednesday afternoon for 50 bottles only, with orders accepted through liquor shops and department stores.

"We have already stopped accepting orders as we received more than 50 orders by 11:00 am on Thursday," company spokeswoman Aya Takemoto said.

"Orders came in much faster than we expected," she said.

The bottles, each set in a special oak box, will be delivered in late June.

Suntory said the whisky is the longest distilled, at least in Japan.

One bottle contains 700 milliliters (1.47 pints) of whisky, meaning a tiny shot of one milliliter costs 1,429 yen (13 dollars).

[nagasawa]

$9300, ouch. For relaxing times...

[nagasawa]

Technically this is whisky but what the hell, it's the amber stuff we're talkin' about.

In honor of my 35th year jubilee tomorrow I'll be following in my traditional celebration of sampling a whisky that went in the barrel the year I came into this world. Appropriately I've located a couple dusty bottles to match my vintage. Tomorrow evening I'll be enjoying a large aged cut of beef cooked medium rare and a dram (or two) of

Macallan 1967

Springbank Single Cask Sherry Butt, Chieftain's Choice (!)

Springbank makes two of my all time favorites, but the jury seems to be mixed on this particular vintage.

Comments to follow.

[AlaskanKiwi]

Johnny Walker Blue Label.

[nagasawa]

^tasty, but dead common...;)

[nagasawa]

And I haven't reached that jubilee yet!

[AlaskanKiwi]

oh I just noticed the other night as I left the bottle shop some bloke dropped a bottle of blue label and it smashed in the car park. I looked at my mate and was like "shit, I'd be on the flippin ground licking that". Poor guy, he just about cried.

[nagasawa]

Yikes, that's weep in the pillow level catastrophy. Back in college I was coming out of liquor store with a case of Four Roses (the good stuff) and dropped it in the parking lot. I didn't miss a beat, doing a 180 and marching in for a second case.

1 case Four Roses = 1/50 Johnny Walker Blue Label

Have been drinking Canadian Mist and Cokes with my landlord lately along with a lot of Black Label. I'm trying to ween myself off of beer.

Just picked up a bottle of Maker's Mark today and am sipping on the syrup right now. Man, this shit is rough!

[atomicscissors]

I mean smooth but strong.

[randall fairbrook]

it may help you to fill the glass with ice or crushed ice then let it sit for a few minutes....the water opens up the bourbon to more flavor...but don't let it sit too long because the water can water it down......

my pops like to drink a shot of Canadian Mist with a bud light back breakfast, lunch, dinner...pretty much anytime he was breathing - he is know on vodka and red bull....

i like a glass of Maker's Mark on the rocks with just a drop of water...Gentleman's Jack is another favorite....

[charlos3000]

as much as i am a scotch drinker, i am not a bourbon drinker.

bourbon/JD makes me want to wretch, esp. makers and crown. It's too sweet, syrupy, and well, gross--

whereas scotch is nice and light and refreshing it's like going on a good date with a great girl, and not having sex but enjoying being patient and waiting for date #3 or 4; Bourbon is like oral sex with someone who i'm only marginally attracted to, is incompatible with my personality, has a long well documented history of drama, and furthermore has a disturbing visible sore of unknown origin.

wow
you put a lot of thought into this

is this from past experience?

[charlos3000]

it's like, everytime i sip some bourbon, i get this nasty lingering feeling, which is what i like to equate to the liquor based equivalent of guilt or remorse. same sort of timbre, taste, and sticky feeling, cept drunker.

and when i taste a nice scotch, it's more like "wow, all of these neat, distinct flavors that i may or may not agree with, i'm interested in knowing more, barkeep give me a double on the rocks" which is similar to meeting an interesting girl who may or may not have "all the things i'm looking for" but begs further inspection nonetheless.

drinking tequila is like paying for sex, except with nasty hookers. this is pure conjecture though, since i haven't drank tequila in years, and i've never paid for sex.

but things change. constantly.

are you a single malt man? what's your favorite?

i feel the same way about rum
when it's mixed in something - it's alright
you keep drinking
but suddenly you're face down in the bathtub
with your face near the drain
and you can bet
you won't be wearing any pants...

[charlos3000]

yeah i dig the singles and the right blends.

i'm a big fan of

balvenie 21 portwood
glenfiddich ancient reserve 21
mac 18
lagav 16
laph 10
spring 10

my standard blends are usually
dewars
J&B
black label
chivas

[650lex]

i'm a Dewars girl myself!

Chivas when I'm hanging w/some ballers...

[charlos3000]

dewars is my "rocks" scotch
J&B is my "soda" scotch
glenlivet 12 or black label are my frontin scotches
and mac 18 is my i'm too drunk to know any better scotch

[650lex]

goddamn
all this scotch talk
makes me want to go to bev'mo
and get a bottle of dewars!

[randall fairbrook]

drinking a decent bourbon to me is like being satisfied with life for the while......drinking and smiling.......

drinking a real good scotch is like being sucked off slowly while reading a damned good book...

my usual blended is chivas, my usual bourbon is old crow....makers when i am feeling spendy..also bookers and basil haydens.....

my fav single malts are islays (for the most part)...laphroaig and lagavulin..bunnahabhain......

i also like the 16 yr glenlivet...the port, and madera wood glenmorangie.....isle of jura is nice too....

got a bottle of johnny walker green label 15 yr pure malt that is almost dead..i am saving a dram for charlos..he mentioned it a long time ago...

i'd never drink it like that myself but, hey to each his own.

if i'm mixing with coke, maybe THEN i'd drink a bourbon. crown and coke or makers and coke makes my anti-bourbon kick subside a little, but i'd still rather have a scotch rox.

Yeah, I agree with you here. I just can't drink bourbon without mixing it with coke (I'll never turn down a JD and Coke). Even Maker's on the rocks (which RF suggested) was just too much for me.

Originally posted by charlos3000

That is exactly why I like scotch, especially Black.

I'd never mix Black with Coke. There just isn't any need to.

Distillery unveils world's strongest single malt (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/02/26/uwhisky.xml&sSheet=/portal/2006/02/26/ixportaltop.html)
A Scottish distillery has announced plans to produce one of the world's most alcoholic single malt whiskies.

An ancient recipe is to be used by Bruichladdich to distil with an alcoholic content of at least 92 per cent on Islay in the Western Isles.

Managers at the firm believe it will be akin to a drink described 300 years ago by seventeenth-century travel writer Martin Martin.

In his 1695 travel book, The Western Islands of Scotland, Mr Martin refers to a quadruple-distilled whisky known as "usquebaugh-baul" and wrote what is probably the world's oldest whisky-tasting note.

He said: "The first taste affects all the members of the body: two spoonfuls of this last liquor is a sufficient dose; and if any man should exceed this, it would presently stop his breath and endanger his life."

Mark Reynier, managing director of Bruichladdich, said the distillery was doing it as a bit of fun and it was unlikely to be repeated.

He said: "In the long-run we will be looking at producing around 5,000 bottles and I honestly couldn't put a cost on it. It is a challenge.

"Although Martin's note hints at the dreadful consequences of sipping more than a teaspoonful, this will, I hope, have very floral qualities to it. Despite the high alcohol content, you know it's whisky."

Sorta sounds like that Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster I had once.

[nagasawa]

Tomorrow I plan on sampling some vintage whisky. I'm looking to sample vintages of 35 years and older. Recommendations other than JW Blue label?

[randall fairbrook]

damn...happy birthday man you deserve that good malt....

i have only had the glenlivet 35 or 36..i do ot remember..it was super....

try caol isla ..i adore it..it is an islay but not as aged as the ones you are gonna have....

[nagasawa]

I didn't manage to find any malts that were older than myself other than the ubiquitous Johnny Walker Blue, but I did sample two damned fine Islay bottles.

Ardbeg 1977, which was very robust with hints of lemony sweetness and the typical strong peat. Delicious.

They didn't stock Caol, but the knowledgable barman recommended the neighboring Bowmore Distillery. I sampled the 25 year and enjoyed the woody and nutty overtones.

Rare, aged steak dinner, malts (not chocolate) and a Punch Gran Puro made for a perfect evening.

[nagasawa]

Sampled the Caol Ila while in Bloomington and loved it. A really complex malt for being so young, 10 years I think?

[SDP]

I think it was prematurely aged by the intense heat of our table in the Irish Lion...

[650lex]

ooooh - me want WHISKEY!!!!

[nagasawa]

Ha! We should have captured some of the sweat trickling off SDP's brow, run it through some peat and charcoal filtered it for the vats.

[randall fairbrook]

caol isla i think starts at 12...but fuck yes i love it

[650lex]

my cousin got super excited when she saw a bottle of Powers at the bar we were at last night
i guess it's something that's not carried in a lot of bars
it was all she drank when she spent time in Ireland
so glad i could provide her good times and memories before she shipped off this morning!

don't hate on blendeds...i mean....canadian mist is a good blended.....crown royal and seagram's vo..not bad at all....but not necessarily sippin whiskey...as for blended scotch...ballantine's...chivas.....cutty, dewar's...grouse....not bad at alllll....


but yeah...no match for single malts...or bourbons......but everything has it's time and place........if your paycheck was not that big this month....i would rather drink a nice bourbon or blended than a whack ass single malt.....


but since this is your first...or rather bowmore was your first single.....being an islay.......and you liked it......good on you...in my opinnion...islays are more difficult for beginners to appreciate....they may go first for the more available glens...glenlivet (speyside).....glenfiddich (speyside)...glengrant (speyside)....which involves less peat moss in the processs and therefore less of the iodine taste that an untrained tongue may not appreciate.....

Essentially, Pakistan is now releasing a twenty year old single malt whiskey, in a country that is predominantly Muslim, and anti alchol!

The idea of a Pakastani single malt intrigues me. Too bad it's illegal to export!

Bruichladdich

[esswhykay]

That looks like a whisky to me.

[nagasawa]

I sampled that at the Bruichladdich tasting a few weeks ago. Can't recall my notes my great stuff and cheap too. I opted to buy the PC7 and the Resurrection.

been sneaking tugs off the roommate's bottle of glenlivet for the past week, not proud of it.

[nagasawa]

Still gotta get me a bottle of the Nadurra. Now that's a bottle of 'livet you shouldn't be bashful tugging on.

[FDM]

it's not the year of the 'livet that gets me ashamed, it's the pours from a bottle that's not mine that gets me ashamed.

i'll have to remember to pick up a bottle of Teachers or Powers (whatever's cheaper) next time. possibly even famous grouse. either that, or go dry for awhile. well, awhile longer.

huhuh you've been tugging off your roommate's stuff.
