Not huge but it does have a few good ones in it.
I see five whiskys and one whiskey.
Do you know the difference?
Dalmore, love that stuff.
I have no idea. It would be nice to learn a little something about spirits. I am a complete novice with that stuff.Quote:

The term whisky is generally used for grain spirits that are made in:
Japan
Canada
Scotland
Wales
The term whiskey is for everywhere else including the United States and Ireland.
There is only ONE type of Canadian Whisky that is made using the "scotch" methods (from barley and distilled twice) and I'm proud to say it is made on CAPE BRETON ISLAND in Nova Scotia!:smiley20:
It's called Glen Breton Rare. It cannot be called "Scotch" since it is not made in Scotland.
Now that you got me thinking about it, I think I'll go have a dram!!:smiley20:
Rhum or rum is much better than whiskey or whisky. :smiley20:
Phags drink rum (rhum) :smiley2:
Real knuckle dragging neanterthals like me drink Bourbon:smiley15:
Sorry. I meant whisky.Quote:

Scotchy! http://www.killerclips.com/clip.php?id=140&qid=1929 Top left. I love a nice scotch for about 2 good medium sized pulls and then I've had enough. Like eating something too rich. For me, the reward tapers off quick, but I'm just not a scotch guy I guess. That 1st thrill is great though.
How do you like those 45 and 18 year Glenlivet? I have been meaning to give them a shot. The CVS Store in my town has some 12 year The Macallan on sale for about 39.00. I am gona pick up some of that for sure this weekend.Quote:

Macallen 12 isn't that bad though. I still keep meaning to try the 15 and 18
I love all liquor! It is god's nectar!
For a real knuckle dragging experience try la Fée Verte
I actually found that 18 yo for $50. It was too good a deal to pass up.
I have such an awesome wife. She just bought me a Glenmorangie 12 yo Portwood Finish.
Has anyone ever tried Jon, Mark and Robbo's scotch whisky ? If not, buy a bottle and tell me what you think. I like it alot. One of the guys who makes it used to work at the Maccallen distillery.
I have such a hard time finding it now. If anyone see's it at the store let me know. We could work out a trade. You ship me the bottle, I will pay for it and the shipping and send you some cigars in return for your time.
I'm definitely a bourbon drinker, myself (although I do enjoy whisk[e]y in general). I prefer something nice to sip on, and I'm quite fond of both Maker's Mark and Knob Creek.
Here's the bourbons:

Not finding the scotch pix. Here's a couple of my special ones:

WOW! I am incredibly envious. Are you finding all of those at local liquor places? I'd have to do some serious traveling/special ordering to come close to that kind of collection. I'm actually looking for a new sipping bourbon to try...do you have any suggestions? Maker's is my standard choice, and if my wallet is feeling nice and happy then I'll splurge and get a 1.75 of Knob Creek. Any ideas?Quote:

All locally bought, although I did overpay on ebay for a bottle of Pappy 23 year old, then the next week Binny's got me another bottle. Binny's can get anything. Got me George Dickel Barrel Select in less than a week (Tennessee whisky).
Decided tonight that I like Knob better than Woodford.
Pappy 20 yr old is the absolute favorite--about $90. 15 yr old isn't bad.
Rowan's Creek is a good small batch bourbon.
Eagle Rare is another lesser known one that I like.
George T. Stagg kicks butt at around 140 proof--add ice and let it melt/dilute!
Any recommendations for a good single malt Scotch in the $45-60 range? I need a father's day gift.
I have a collection of empty scotch bottles:smiley6:
Aberlour a'bunadh $60 (prices from binnys.com)Quote:
For JFellows, who asked:
good single malt Scotch in the $45-60 range?
Balvenie Doublewood (12 yr old) $40--almost everyone loves this and it's a bargain
Bowmore 17 yr old $63 peaty, but much less than Laphroig or Ardbeg; less expensive than Lagavulin
Highland Park 12 yr old $40 another good basic single malt
Isle of Jura Superstition Single Malt no age; kind of smoky $35
Macallan 10yr Old Fine Oak $40 an economical Macallan
Talisker 10 yr old $54 smoky, not peaty
Hope this helps and dad has a good day.
HA HA! When I first started to bring home empty bottles, (I think 16) I put a 3/4 bottle of jack on my desk by mistake, and my mom thought it was sweet tea. I asked her why in the world would I have a bottle of sweet tea sitting my desk, and she said, "For decoration." :smiley36::smiley29:Quote:

It's called Fighting Cock Bourbon Whiskey and is 103 proof.:smiley34:

Also, does anyone know of a good/alright scotch that cost between $20-$30?
I did a review of it here
