belfastguzzi Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 What's a good beginners entrance into the murky world of single-malt ..? Horlicks Link to comment
Guest SantaFeRider Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Fond of whiskey, but rather unschooled. 1 st generation Irish-American so gravitate towards the Irish, naturally. Can't stand Bushmills, like Jamesons. Have tried Glenlivet, didn't like it, but liked Glennfiddich. Have been told that neither is very good, though. Will try to banish from my mind the vision of Scots standing above open vats of single malt in kilts and stirring away. (I know some of them must pee when they cough.) What's a good beginners entrance into the murky world of single-malt scotch? Oh, I'm half German, too, that makes me a very precise drunk. fish a good beginner's singlemalt is the Royal Lochnagar. Very mellow, not extremely peaty and well rounded. Distillery is next to Balmoral, so only one allowed to leak in the mash is Charlie Boy. Link to comment
velofish Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Thanks, gents. Looks like I may have to start a small collection. That is, if I can find the good stuff around here. fish Link to comment

helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I remember Alex Harvey and Hawkwind were next to each other in the import music bin at the record shop. I started listening about 1972 and still have SAHB on vinyl but havn't listened to it for a few years now. I think I'll partake of a little of the water of life myself!! Thank you, Mac!!

docc Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Me good woman, bless her heart and other parts, bought me a nice blend of Johnnie Walker Blue for my birthday. Nice since I was expecting a shop-vac and last year I got a broke leg from my dirt bike . . . She seemed to think it would last longer since it was pricey . . . I think I'll have another. Here's one to you good chaps. Link to comment

helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Call me Crazy but there is something about a Jack & Coke Go to Australia. They have it premixed in cans, bottles or on tap. Better than Bundy's I reckon but not much! By the way does this mean there is no such thing as bourbon anymore? Link to comment

g.forrest Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 imported all the way from next door [in 2 litre bottles] i'm suss he makes those labels though! Link to comment
Guzzirider Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 World's oldest bottle of whisky? If I was a millionaire, it would be cool to buy it at the auction, then after taking one swig in front of all the posh connoisseurs and collectors, belch loudly then give the bottle to a homeless tramp and let him finish it off in the park.
