The Whisky / Whiskey thread

How is that? I've been curious since I heard about it but not quite enough to drop what they're asking.

It's a good whisky only lightly Peated very delicate I enjoyed it

It's funny, I was going to ask what Japanese whisky is like tonight.

v.v.good, try nica from the barrel https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-2928.aspx as a good intro

Go on then I'll join you all for a night cap speyside glenrothes

Oskihen those two who skies are two of my favourites so far. I've only been at the whisky a short while but if you like those sweet Speysides have you tried the singleton I had last night? It's very nice.

Thank you. I'm actually looking for a birthday or birthday and Christmas whisky gift to myself. I had thought maybe this:

Or this:

But I don't know. I know I'm leaning towards Speysides but I do like a smokey taste too. I was initially put off peat by the Lagavulin 16 which is very strongly peated. I've since had some softly peated whisky which I got on better with. In an ideal world is have a whisky in the speyside style but with a smokiness without a peaty taste.

And that Nikka was on the list. Tesco do a few Japanese who skies too, I thought I'd try one of those for the sake of ease.

I'm not a huge speyside fan but maybe try the Highland Park 18yo (though I'm biased)

This is what they have:

Any good?

[tommy]

Is that near you then?

[tommy]

Out of interest what are you a big fan of other than the Japanese stuff.

[Sligub]

Yea Highland Park and Scapa are both 5mins away from me.

I tend to prefer the islay malts but have a few bourbon/whiskeys I like Blantons, Eagle rare, old rip.

That Japanese is good, it's a blend (not that that's a bad thing). Probably fits your preference for speyside quite well

[tommy]

I'm definitely going to try it. I've just tried Talisker last night and the peat is far less pronounced that in the Lagavulin. I'm coming round to peat.

I love the Lagavulin 16 real rich smokey full bodied mmm

It took me a while to come round to the smokey peaty ones as well but I'd probably say they are my favourites now

Tricky

[tommy]

Martyn maybe I should give that bottle another chance. I'll send you another gift in compensation for the mags if that's coolio.
