How many non Scottish people like Whisky?

[Ivan Ardon]

Whisky. Once you get past the initial harsh taste of it, it's far too easy to drink too much of it.

I gave it up when I realised I was getting through 2 bottles a week

Have the Jamesons with a cake of at least 70% coco plain chocolate. Match made in heaven!!

Forget cheese and wine. This combination is the business. The Master Blender at a distillery taught me this one!

That reminds me, I have an un-opened bottle of Jameson's at home with my name on it along with a bottle of Purser's navy rum.

I'm a big single malt fan - we have quite a collection at home.
My favourite is Laphroig, but I also really like Caol Ila, Macallan and Talisker. Not a fan of Highland Park though...

I'm in on the whisky love fest (only sigle malt though). Started drinking it with a single ice cube to take off the harsh edge, but as my appreciation grew i removed the ice and can can now enjoy the layers of complexity that the different areas produce.

personal fav is Edradour - Scotlands smallest legal distillery, and if you are in the region they do a free tour that is well worth it.

Never put ice in it. It stuns it and closes it up. A splash of water yes but ice is a no no.

I like whisky and whiskey, and practically every other alcholic drink suitable for adults as opposed to teenagers. This has cost a lot of money and years of "training", but I am sad enough to think it was worth it. I was brought up in Glasgow though which may account for my "cultural" tendencies.

A 'collection' of alcohol... wish I knew how that was possible... if it's wet, I'll probably drink it (hic, burp). I like whisky and whiskey, esp Jamesons
But I also like Spanish Brandy. I draw the line at meths.

I love it started off with the Speyside Malts but have now developed a taste for Peat and love the Ardbeg or Ledaig not a big fan of Laphroaig.

 

[John Ponting]

Mr Greedo I particulary enjoy your threads, I think they capture the essence of Cafe perfectly. Good Man. Keep it Up.

Im English and enjoy whisky very much. No ice. No water.

Not arsed about all this single malt business, thats for the wine ponces.

Bet you drink ordinary light ale !

 

[mr Mag00]

oooooooh ardbeg yummy!

 

[Gerry Attrick]

Oh yes.....Jameson's 1780 and Blair Atholl.

 

[postman]

Oh i have tried a few.Just love it a pint of the black stuff and a healthy helping of a fine malt.Just heaven.
Highland Park is a nice one.But i have been through a few.

So many good whiskies and so many ways to drink them. I like most malts with a little splash of water, good blends too - good old JW Black Label and for a heavy session a nippy-sweetie (Red Label and Curries lemonade) or for a wee change a whisky mac (whisky and Crabbie's Green Ginger Wine)

All of this can be washed down with a pint of Caledonian 80/- or a Deuchars
