Ok so we had a good book and a good dram thread so why don't we have a whole thread dedicated to the Water of Life. Here we can post deals we see in the local markets, reviews and personal opinions of this wonderful drink with so many tastes.

It all tastes like shit and I can't understand why anyone ever has it a second time!

A product with a history of world wide sales can't be shit. A personal taste sure but that applies to anything. I'm not a regular drinker of the stuff but at the right time, drank at the right pace and in moderation it is a pleasure.

Balvenie, Cragganmore, Macallan

this is exactly what I mean we all know what we like but why don't we put a in depth personal review of each single malt or even blended granular whisky's it might make us try something out of our ordinary tastes and we might just enjoy it.

OK cragganmore is a sweeter easy drinking dram that I love with pancakes. Very smooth and a good starter for folk working their way up to isla malts.

I loathe the stuff but can have a wee go now and then.

I did however have a night some weeks ago with a bottle of royal lochnagar. That was a revelation. So everyone has a whisky.

Generally not my thing but I remember my dad bought a case of Bruichladddich about 20yrs ago, he still has a few bottles left from that - I guess that would make them near 30yrs old now! However I guess (not professing any knowledge of the subject here) that it'd not continue to age because it'd be in a glass bottle instead of a cask?
Saw the film 'The Angels' Share' the other night - a great laugh! :D

You're correct that whisky only matures in the cask.  As a worker in the whisky industry (and a teetotaller) always like reading these kind of threads.

Stick to the Speysides and stay well clear of the Islays ..... :lol:

Recently had a bottle of Scapa 16yr old, nice a bit sweet with a quite strong vanilla taste/scent.  Not my usual tipple prefer the smoky Islay malts like Laphroaig.  But I'm quite versatile can adapt quite quickly to most nice whiskies.  Is interesting with whisky, that there some whiskies in the past I did not like but now.  I think that there two factors to this, our palates change as we get older, and surely the whiskies cannot stay the same.
