Whisky / Whiskey / Bourbon

sobs

I was tempted to try the one as old as me. I may do that next time.

I'm going to have to try to work my way through at least some of those. I'm not that familiar with Glenfarclas.

Chris, which was the one that you started with?

The 30 year old Benromach

So tasty.

Got bought The Balvenie Signature 12yo for my birthday and it is the only whiskey my wife has ever tried and enjoyed straight up. Remarkably smooth.

That would be Laphroaig. Is it odd that I believe that description to be valid enough while still liking the malt? Although I'm not as impressed by it as I used to be - see it more as a gimmick, without that much complexity.

You can often taste odd or otherwise unpleasant things in whisky and not have it spoil the taste at all. For me, Highland Park is always recognisable by the hint of white spirits. Shame that one is not as good as it used to be (older Highland Park bottlings are probably my favourite whisky).

I just got me a tax refund, who's going to take me to the soho whisky club so I can join then?

As soon as I get my stuff in the post then we'll go.

Excellent.

I wanna come too!!

No problem.

^ More details plz

It looks as if the picture was taken in Milroys. Does that help?

Discounted tickets to the Whisky Lounge Fest

Might be interesting.

Yes, I'm up for that, Whisky tasting is ace... really rather dangerous though

Afternoon session of course

I've got a whiskey tasting this weekend at the Liberty Lounge thanks to a groupon type deal. I must remember to take notes otherwise I'll just end up pissed and still have to take a leap into the dark when buying a new bottle.

Anybody fancy a visit to SMWS up by Farringdon, next week?

I probably would. It's been ages. What day?

I can do Wednesday, Thursday or Friday
