Whisky Flavours/tastes

I blame Jenny Goolden who stated all this pretentious claptrap.

I wasn’t keen on her at first but she rather grew on me.
By the way, she’s Jilly not Jenny.

My son bought me a lovely Christmas present. Each month I get a different minature whisky. The supplier emails me to say "this month it is xyz and its in the post.
Below is the expert taster guide for the March sample. Its Inchgower 14 year old.
Why can't they do one that tastes like whiskey

The nose is quite light and delicate. There is a zesty tang with notes of sugary citrus, hints of stemmy hay and a gentle breeze pushing barley in a Summer field. Tones of blossom and apple peel with cocoa. The palate is fresh with hay and petals, notes of arak and well-balanced tannins. There are some spicy notes with cystallized stem ginger. The finish is of medium length with spice and a tangy citrus note.

That all sounds like a pretentious load of b****X if ever I heard any.

Sounds like it belongs on @Drago nobbery thread.

If you think there's nobbery in whisky tasting, try perfumery.

Whisky! Lots that I really enjoy. At the moment I have an Irish single malt, 8 years and 41% a Christmas present from No.1 son. Ardberg 10 year old ditto from No.3 son. I also have ALDI Highland which is great value for day to day drinking.

Others I enjoy:

Black Bottle, another good anytime whisky​

Laphroaig​

Oban​

Balvenie​

Bruichladdich​

Singleton​

Highland Park​

Talisker​

I make the stuff at Glenlivet Distillery. I can't stand the stuff, my favorite is Jack Daniels mmmmm.

You can't beat a glass or 7 of this.

Horrible stuff, tastes awful and makes normally decent people nasty and violent.

The regular jack daniels i find to be a bit rough, good for mixing with coke is about all its good for .

It’s nearly finished on BBC Scotland right now but is on iPlayer; “Scotch, The Story of Whisky”. Nice history of our national drink.

You have a strange taste in women.

It may be nobbery but it's worth nearly 6 billion to our economy.
