Best whisky for everyday enjoyment

[neio]

I'm not talking about the R200 + brands.

Jameson does it for me. Nice and smooth.

Edit: before being accused of being a alkie
(everyday drinking, in other words drinking that's not on special occasions.)

[kingmonty]

Jameson is an Irish whiskey... nice.
For everyday drinking, Famous Grouse is pretty nice

[LandyMan]

Before 8am: Jameson
Thereafter: Bacardi Rum :)

[Xenophon]

First Watch:D

Erm, 8AM in the morning is a bit too early for me.

From 15H00 is fine.

[JStrike]

Jameson as well.
It is pretty much the only cheaper whiskey I enjoy.

[ettubrute]

Tulamore Dew for me!

And no Scottish whiskey in Irish coffee PLEASE!

[martin]

I congratulate you all for having the balls to pour that foul liquid down your throats. You are brave souls :)

[neio]

Special occasion whisky = Laphroaig

[Juggy]

Tulamore Dew for me!

And no Scottish whiskey in Irish coffee PLEASE!

Yeah, if you put Scotch in an Irish Coffee it's called a Highlander.

[Juggy]

Wild Turkey Kentucky Bourbon

[kingmonty]

bourbon don't qualify

[DFantom]

My choice Johnny Walker Black

[Xenophon]

OOOH, nice

[DFantom]

[LandyMan]

[Drone 42]

First Watch - cheap but it's not bad

[rburley]

Jack Daniels
Thats what i used to drink before ADSL.
Now PAPSUK does the job

[Highflyer_GP]

jack and coke anytime :)

[EchoZA]

Jack Daniels on the rocks or Jack Daniels and Red Bull

[TheSaint]

i went to a friends party once and there werz no more drunks so he offerd us a bit of his jamersons i went down delightfuly

but otherwise i like Jacks on the rocks but it is a bit robust but you ease into it after a few

otherwise when we go out i drink J & B with water only thing is it takes a few days to get over it

i did buy a bottle of Jonny Walker Black Label however i have yet to open the bottle as i remember having a few glasses at a mates place and it was so wicked i ust know once i open my bottle it wont last long

[bwana]

Jim Beam (Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey) on the rocks.

[native]

Bells with lemonade does the trick 2 times a week:D

[kingmonty]

Johnny Blue ... smoothest whiskey I ever had... add a grand to that R200 tho

[bwana]

AS we speak, I have on my desk a half bottle of 12 year old chivas and a "as yet unopened" bottle of James Buchanan "black and white". Normally way out of my price range but an acqaintance is off the booze, going in for heart surgery and knowing I like whisky, made a donation to my cause!!! (grin) Now the Chivas is like silk on ones tongue( do I hear someone say like angels p....g? ) The black and white I do not know.. My most memorable whisky though was drinking a 12 year old jura single malt on the island of Jura itself in a little Island pub!!

Stick to the Chivas though, B&W doesn't come close

[stoke]

Me common whiskey r JW Red, loves the Blue though. A JW 12 year old will suffice when i'm too thrifty 4 da blue.

Oh look - all one brand.

[ettubrute]

For more special occasions (like old friends visiting, when we down a bottle in a night that ends when the sun goes up :D): Glenmorangie 10 year old Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky And that clean: no ice, no water, no mixers. Just a set of crystal tumblers...

[Drusky]

Sherruf's Rotgut for courage.

[stoke]

*druskee'z suffering from thread bleed*
Oops - me too it seems.
*spit*
*twang*

[Drusky]

Like ha'ell I am!

[stoke]

Ya coming to da house of da rizing roze laterz eh young cowpoke ?
*stoke looks around for thread owner*

[jackdaniels]

need I say?

[stoke]

Bourbon's don't count. Read thread owner's thread rules.

[bwana]

Bourbon's don't count. Read thread owner's thread rules.lol What rules? You'd have to exclude the likes of Jameson if you're only allowed to include whisky (as Jameson is Irish and thus a whiskey) and thats the preferred tipple of the thread starter. Jim Beam is labeled as Straight Bourbon Whiskey and there is Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey.

[stoke]

I stand corrected. Completely and utterly. Apologies to jackdaniels and whomever else I offended.
*stoke decides to stop and go to bed*

[neio]

There are no rules 'cept for teh fact that the bottle has to cost less than R 200.

If anyone watched 3talk last night , they promoted the whisky festival at the Sandton convention centre, and had people talking about whisky, including the man in the kilt from Glen Morangie!! (yummy)

[ettubrute]

PM, that yummy, does it refer to the whisky or the man? :D

[Padded Mouse]

both!! sucker for a kilt I am and then the accent................ to die for!!!:p

[ettubrute]

Well, then may I congratulate you on your choice of whisky? See my previous (http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showpost.php?p=341887&postcount=33) post...

As for your choice of men, I can't comment! :p But, when you eventually meet me, you'll prolly forget about the man in a skirt! :p

[TheREV]

Special occasion whisky = Laphroaig

Finally someone with taste.

Lagavulin 18yo or Laphroaig 16yo. Nothing else will do.

[rasputyn]

best sipping whisky: Isle of Jura
Best potting whisky: Johnny Red

theREV, I find Laphroaig to be a bit on the heavy side in terms of peatyness, but the Lagavulin will do.

PS: only Scotch qualifies to be spelt "whisky", everything else is "whiskey"...

[MyDraadloos]

Jameson on the rocks or with water if I am thirsty.

When I am not trying to get pissed:

Aberlour

Never said no to a JW Black or Blue
