Whisky, whisky...

I collect empty JD bottles, well there empty when i finish them!

I did the JD factory tour last November, it's awesome. I asked Jimmy the tour guide ( yocal rednceck) if they ever got any free bottles of JD and he said (in a southen drawl)
" Yep, last friday of every month, we call it good Friday, sore head Sunday"  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Well worth the visit, although don't be expectin to buy any JD from the factory shop, Lynchburg is in Moore County TN, which is a dry county :shock:

Johnnie Walker Black :D

Now thats a nice tipple.  I dont drink spirits meself often as they disagree with me a little!

Famous Grouse for a blended drink, but Glenfidich for a single malt for me!

Each to there own though, I cant stand Jack Daniels :oops:

Cheers

Single Malts are the only one to have, I call all the blended stuff "cooking whisky"

For everyday, things like Glenmorangie and GlenFiddich are good and easily got as is The glenlivet, for something a bit more special go to Bunnabhain or Sheep dip. Both are very nice. I too find ones like the Islay malts a bit to peaty as well.

My personal favourite is the bottle of "The Macfarlane" single malt that I bought for my daughters christening 6 years ago (I am a Macfarlane so makes it MINE!!!)

generally equal amounts of water and whisky is the "correct" way, but i say enjoy it the way you like it (as long as your not adding crap like coke) I find when in England I use chilled bottled water, but in wales I can use from the tap

Bought another bottle of Old Pulteney just to make sure I still like it :D

If, like me, you like the Islay malts - then try the blend Black Bottle, it's a blend of Islay malts and is a great drinkin' whisky.

A couple of years ago, my brother went to Alabama on business and brought me back a jar of 'moonshine' and some chewing tobacco. The shine was very interesting and I swear that I could have run my car on it. Quite an aquired taste, which needless to say I aquired quite quickly :D
As for the chewing baccy :-& Never again!
I know it is not a whisky, but my favourite spirit is Pussers Navy Rum. When I was a young teen, my dear father (RIP), an ex matlow, thought it would be a good idea to give me a shot of that to get rid of the sore throat I had. It got rid of it, it also broke my voice and I was talking like Barry White for a fortnight!

Mount Gay Rum is my favourite.
Moonshine from Ireland (pootchi, or something like that) will put hares on your chest.  :lol:

...back to whisky I have tried the OBAN variety tonight...not bad.  Am going off to have a whisky night with a mate next week  :D ...will report back if I can remember what I like  :lol:
