Single malts

[rhone81]

I'm enjoying a bottle of Jura just now and have a bottle of Talisker in reserve.

What do you enjoy?

Never heard of the brands you mention.

Bit heavy for me, but polished off the last of the Scrumpy Jack and contemplating opening a bottle of pinot grigio shortly.

My favourite is Laphroaig but I really like any of the islay malts.

I like smokey and peaty whiskey, Talisker is very nice.

Funnily enough we did this a year ago, not that I mind revisiting whiskey...

At the time I said:

I'm also a fan of the Islay malts like Laphroaig and Lagavulin but recently bought a bottle of Smokehead Extra Rare which I really struggled to drink. I did succeed though.

God I find whisky undrinkable. Such harsh flavour in the mouth, the overpowering alcohol, astonishingly bad, and astonishing to me that it has such a following. Rancid.

Then again, all this may be due to my old 'finishing off' drink of a straight quadruple whisky (for 2pounds) of dubious quality, which I used hove each Friday night when I was 17-18 in Diva in the toon.

Cannot touch the stuff.

Damofo- mix it with some soda and sip it.

I'm also a Jura fan, it disappears rather quickly once I get started on it. I'm working through a bottle of Aberlour, which is reasonable, and I like the Macallan. Sweet, smooth, and drinkable. I do get through it rather fast if I get going though.

It is good for degreasing motorcycle parts but cheap brands work just as well.
Nasty tasting stuff even before it gets old bike muck in it IMHO.

Glenmorangie is a fave, like nectar.

A good whisky should be drunk straight or with some water. If you're going to pollute it with lemonade or Coke and the like, then any cheap blend will do.

On a cold, wet winter night you cant beat whisky and hot water.

Foul stuff, tastes like battery acid!

Can only drink whisky in coffee with cream...but will opt for a brandy and ginger beer any day!!!

I agree with the Laphroaig comments - definitely the nicest of the single malts you get in sainsburys.

Tried some of this recently which was a bit of a surprise:

Hmm my favoite topic, whisky, I love Talisker and Glenmorangie single malts, but I do drink a lot of blended stuff. It just warms the body when drinking, a great drink.

Bowmore for me! My grandad was very friendly with the distillery peeps during the war, he was skipper of the raf rescue launch when Islay was a seaplane base.
My dad and grandad lived up on church street in Bowmore, always a bottle of local in stock
Otherwise laphroig

Tamdhu

Three much underrated and not overly expensive single malts. Tamdhu in particular is often cheaper than some of the de-luxe blends.

I want to like it, but I can't stand it. As a Scot I feel like a traitor! I'm hoping it's a taste I will eventually acquire.
