Oh, they will. Enjoy the ride. I find that I like the black label best neat. You should try the Jameson. It's a really nice whiskey.

Cheers

First try the Jameson Select Reserve. One of my all time favorites.

Been loving my Jim Beam of late. Also tried the more expensive Makers Mark (nearly double of Jim Beam), didnt like it. I cant see why the price is so high for it, maybe a marketing thing.

Nene, SA Budget

Whisky lovers would pay R3.77 more per bottle.

No opinions on this?

Comparing it to black label, neat, the glenlivet takes it. Less flavour means this is a wipskie that you can drink neat, where I think the black label will be better with a dash.

Quite pricey though, not?

I had my first taste of Talisker (10 yr) on Singapore Airlines, very, very nice. Smooth, with peaty-ish aftertaste I'd rate it over a Glenfiddich

I found it to be a bit too peaty for my taste. Reminded me of TCP. Have you ever tried cao Lila .. Also very smooth but with a much more subtle tone.

One of my favourites. Very strong peaty taste. Smoky and leathery. But, it's a taste you cannot forget and keeps you wanting more. Higher than usual alcohol content so good in moderation

Would love to try the 18 year old. Keep hearing it's incredible.
