Whiskey

[Bazza]

anyone know anything about whiskey

at this time of year it is generally custom to give my nice clients a bottle :winky:

and as one is from scotland thought i had better seek advise

i know nothing about whiskey ! ....cant stand it myself

so any recommendations

and rough price guide

[Monster-Mat]

i like Ballantines

[Jocksuper7]

how much you want to spend? I like ballentines too but the best stuff they do is for export only,

My personal fav is Highland park, or jura

they come in at around 16-20 quid a bottle

price varys on the different client ;)

approx 25 of them in various appreciative levels

something up to £40 for the gooduns (4-5)

and then something around £20 for the rest

[Monster-Mat]

yeah Talisker is nice

[Rsarin]

chivas is a nice scotch blend,blue label also.oban is my favourite tho,single malt that is.if you go for ballantines try and get your hands on a bottle of the 21yr old blue they do,its special

[Bazza]

My favorite malt Pronounced Bunahaaven

Or for a BLEND this one.

was never a fan of the black bottle, i do like stewarts cream of the barley though for a blend

[lexus boy]

You dont need to spend £40 on one bottle thats near as dammit 3 bottles of jack for me.

I'll be happier ;) lol

Yup I like Cream of the Barley, it's a really good "cooking" whisky, almost always have a bottle in the cupboard. Wouldn't buy it as a present though.

Quantity rather than quality then :D

IMHO JD is only drinkable with a load of mixer in it, even meths would improve it

Seriously though Bazza you could be different and do an Irish, I like Tullimore Dew.

[maneesh]

single malts are generally better than blended... :D

i would recommend glenfiddich..12 or 18 year reserve. they do 30 year reserve too, but expensive..

good luck

[Nick The Greek]

I'm a single malt man myself!

I agree entirely, I have a couple of bottles stashed away, but they are coming out tomorrow for the party

[Mr Morse]

Without spending silly money...

Lagavulin 12 yrs old

MacCallan 10 yrs old

Talisker 10 yrs old (a pit peaty for some)

Highland Park 10 yrs old

[Bulldog]

Have to agree with Mike

MaCallan 10yr old is superb for the money!!!

Think i paid around £30 for mine

Very smooth whiskey and i drink it on its own too , so it must be a good un

That my son is a right touch!!!

Your d@mn right

Quantity over quality. JD and coke by the pint suits me just fine :)

[star a]

how about a super smooth single malt penderyn from his celtic cousins. rare even around these parts.

[fatpieman69]

ive always been a JD fan but its not a true whisky. I had Jim bean black last night and that was nice, no nasty after taste and there's always jamersons, both around £20 and good value for money.

[TheDon]

why not johnnie walker black label...

Very nice, very clean and a classy drink, not rough and certainly distinctive.

budget about £22 a bottle
