I second that motion... (But only for special occasions. For general purpose consumption I'm happy with JW Black Label or Glenlivet 18 yr).

Speaking of Glenlivet I was at a friend's last night and he offered me a dram of Glenlivet XXV. Very nice indeed though beyond my means.

Glenlivet is what you drink when you have nothing else left 😛 nothing comes close to
the island malts, Talisker from Skye leaves you in no doubt, it arrests your palate but
my personal favourite is Bunnahabhain (pronounced, boon-a-haven), from Islay.
There is nothing like a mountain climb, come in off the hills kick of your walking boots
at the door, sit beside the fire, listen to the fiddles, order a dram and hope someone
else is driving 🙂

I've had Talisker but not Bunnahabhain. I will investigate to see if it's available over here.
What one drinks if there is nothing left is The Famous Grouse or The Black Grouse. OK I know they're blended but sometimes one doesn't have a choice (if at a friends, who has little taste for good whisky).

blended, i have a cupboard full of blended whisky which people give me but i cannot
bring myself to drink, urgh, perish the thought. An underrated malt is in my opinion
Bowmore, you can get it in the supermarkets, but its divinely smooth, so smooth in fact
that you had better watch out before its too late and you are feeling the effects from
the bottom up 😛 some people like the speyside and highland malts, Glenmorangie and
The Macallan, Orkney has a surprisingly good malt, Highland Park which comes
recommended. It would be a scandal if you could not get Bunnahabhain in Canada!

I plan on going to "the Big City" (London, Ontario) in the next while and will make a point of finding out if it is indeed available to me. I am intrigued.

Its the king in my opinion, someone mentioned Lagavulin which is quite good,
compared to Bunnahabhain, its like aftershave 😛

*LOL* I'll take your word on that as I've never "tried" (other than splashing a bit on my face) drinking it...aftershave I mean.

How did a thread titled Nectar of the Gods get to be a thread about whisky? Horrible stuff. 😕

Hello Kewpie. Aussies know nothing about whiskey.



Or Whisky as the Scots spell it.

The best you lot can do is Fosters.

I will drink most whisk(e)ys. I do however agree with Robbie.
When it comes to Scotch, single malt is better than a blend.

Blends are like drinking "light" beers. One may choose to drink them at a friends but one would never buy one themselves.
