Talisker92 Posted April 16, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 16, 2013 What type of whiskey does everyone like?. I like single malt scotch whiskey something like Bowmore which is peaty and smokey and tastes really nice. 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!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thejuggler Posted April 23, 2013 #6 Share Posted April 23, 2013 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanexile81 Posted May 10, 2013 #7 Share Posted May 10, 2013 National pride meant I had to let you know that Scotch whisky MUST be spelt without the e whereas Irish keeps it - whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonhibby Posted May 10, 2013 Author #9 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Thank you for your expertise in the difference between the two spellings,but you did not answer the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanexile81 Posted May 13, 2013 #10 Share Posted May 13, 2013 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 : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli90 Posted May 24, 2013 #11 Share Posted May 24, 2013 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).

roysmith99 Posted October 26, 2013 #16 Share Posted October 26, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thejuggler Posted November 21, 2013 #17 Share Posted November 21, 2013 For just £12.99 the Aldi 5 year vatted malt whisky is well worth having in the cupboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted December 14, 2013 #18 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) 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. Edited December 14, 2013 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talisker92 Posted January 26, 2014 #21 Share Posted January 26, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitznbobs Posted January 27, 2014 #22 Share Posted January 27, 2014 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C U Onboard Posted January 28, 2014 #23 Share Posted January 28, 2014 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memsy87 Posted February 17, 2014 #24 Share Posted February 17, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denarius Posted February 17, 2014 #25 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Balvenie Doublewood or Dalwhinnie for a malt, or Knob Creek (especially the 60% ABV Single Barrel) for a bourbon. Edited February 17, 2014 by Denarius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
