Dear Toonhibby,

I was on a BA flight and happened to sit next to the Operations Director at Bowmore. She asked me which malts I liked and I told her Bowmore. I told her I had a bottle of Dawn,Dusk,Darkest, Mariner and a few others. I told her I was going on the Hebridean Princess and would be stopping at Bowmore. She gave me her card and told me to ring her up when I got there.

I took the tour, and went into the tasting room. She opened up a special cabinet and asked me what I would like to try. I said, 16 year old, sherry finish, cask strength!

It was wonderful!!!!

I'm a Jameson girl, myself !

 

Cant beat it :-)

[toonhibby]

Hi Talisker92 your website is very informative you certainly have had some wonderful trips, I have not been to Bowmore distillery but would love to some day visit it. Sorry Memsy87 never really liked Irish whiskey but everyone to their own.

[Oviedo32765]

Maker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon!

Irish WhiskEy - Powers.

 

Scotch Whisky, blended Teachers. Malt a tie between Caol Ila and Edradour closely followed by Laphroaig and Talisker.

 

For something completely different Mellow Corn, corn whiskey.

 

We visited Islay in 1999 and did all the distilleries which were open at the time. I'll be back one day to visit them all again!

National pride meant I had to let you know that Scotch whisky MUST be spelt without the e whereas Irish keeps it - whiskey.

One word - SPRINGBANK

[toonhibby]

Thank you for your expertise in the difference between the two spellings,but you did not answer the question.

[tartanexile81]

The question was what whiskey do we like best and my answer is I don't like whiskey at all but would drink a nice speyside malt.... But that's whisky : )

[Eli90]

Came here to make the same point tartanexile81 made. Two pedants in a pod. :D

 

Whiskey - Bushmills. If you can get hold of the 25 year-old, all the better.

 

Whisky - Depends on my mood. Laphroaig if I want to go peaty. Otherwise Jura or a Macallan (I quite like 18).

[Gunner22aa]

Glen Morangie single malt

Whisky: For my husband, it is Laphroaig almost exclusively. For him, the smokier, the better. I'm more Macallan. I haven't tried Jura.

Bowmore is an Islay Malt whisky, however I prefer a Laphroig from that region. In contrast I would always recommend anyone who does like a quality malt to try Inchgower, a Speyside malt.

 

Of course, there are hundreds to try and I have not even scratched the surface after nearly 40 years a abusing my liver.

[Thejuggler]

For just £12.99 the Aldi 5 year vatted malt whisky is well worth having in the cupboard.

My daughter was recently overseas in Japan and brought me back a big bottle of Johnny Walker Double Black, very smooth.

 

But I do enjoy a Glenmorangie or a Jameson Irish, the latter is very good value.

A large glass of Balvenie Doublewood,or a large Macallan,or large Bowmore, I am trying hard to work my way through my countries wonderful product.

Slange, cheers, bottoms up, Prost,to you all.

[Talisker92]

I just got a bottle of Johnny Walker Explorer Club Collection, The Spice Road, and it is excellent. I got it on a BA flight. It apparently is only available on board and at DF shops

As far as Bowmore, try the various expressions-Dawn, Dusk, Mariner

[blitznbobs]

I like laphroig (the older ones) but the sauternes casked Glenmorangie is very yummy.... ( I only drink scotch whisky as I haven't tried all those yet when I get thru those I'll move on to Irish.)

[C U Onboard]

Whisky: For my husband, it is Laphroaig almost exclusively. For him, the smokier, the better. I'm more Macallan. I haven't tried Jura.

If hubby likes smokey I would recommend Lagavulin 16 year old

 

More expensive than Laphroaig 10 year old but well worth it for a special treat IMHO.

[Memsy87]

Not a fan of scotch at all to be honest. Too "peaty" for my tastes.

I'll have most Irish except Paddy and I love most bourbons.

[Denarius]

Balvenie Doublewood or Dalwhinnie for a malt, or Knob Creek (especially the 60% ABV Single Barrel) for a bourbon.
