LMAO, ja, I don't get it. I think it's an age thing. My father used to be a Klippies and Coke man when he was younger. He changed to Whisky somewhere in his 40's. Think the Coke thing stuck.
 
I prefer bourbon to whiskey, but if I have to choose a whiskey it would be Jameson Gold Reserve.
 
The gf's parents bought me a bottle of Dimple.

I prefer 2 blocks of ice and 10ml of water per 25ml whiskey/whisky on relaxed days.
 
bushmills black bush usually..
pay day i can do a 16yr old bushmills single malt..can taste those sherry casks yumm.. might zap one now!

they've been doing it for over 400 yrs, so they must do doing something right..
 
Discovered Powers recently. Corny name, but what a nice find.
 
Jameson and Bushmills are my favs. Bells :sick:

Would like to try Bains though since it is local :)


EDIT: And always on the rocks. Never with anything else (although there was this time we mixed Bells with Appletiser. Wasn't THAT bad considering we were wasted)

Some whiskeys are just awful, like i cant stand J&B ... so its rude if you go to someone's house to say yes to a drink and they say I got J&B, then go no. So what can you mix it with if you want to be polite ? assuming they arent whiskey mad then it would be an insult in the art of drinking whiskey ... but you can plead the noob defense there

learn life skills here lol

If you wanna be a noob: Coke. Lots of Coke.

If you wanna be a hardcore noob: hold your breath and down the sucker

:p
 
Bought Old Pulteney 21 yrs old { World Whiskey 2012 } at the duty free in Singapore and am NOT disappointed.
 
There is no correct way to drink whisky, you drink it the way you want to as long as it gets drunk, wise words from an old Scot I met in a small little Scottish village pub. Even most of the whisky masters have no preference and I went to a good few distilleries while I was there. Glen moreangie have cute girls to take you around ;-) the others various people. Some didn't really allow tours until they heard we'd traveled over 11 000km :-)

Exactly! I read an article a while back about a passionate whisk(e)y enthusiast: Drink it with ice, drink it with water or anything else for that matter. As long as you drink it :D
 
my favourites:

Jamesons as a quaffing whiskey
Lagavulin, Caol Ila, Ardbeg, Laphroaig, Bruichladdich for more relaxed sipping sessions (yes, I'm an Islay fan)
I also quite enjoy The Macallan from time to time which is probably one of the few Speyside malts that I like

I some times think its the American television series from the 80's, like Dallas, that put the picture of drinking whiskey neat or with ice in peoples head.
I enjoy it with water and ice, because that's how got used to it. And water is cheaper than "mix".

If anything water brings out the flavour of the whiskey (or at least doesn't "pollute" it like, say lime, does).
