Whisky / Whiskey / Bourbon

BNJ is about the only one I'll buy.

The only blends I drink are Japanese.

(Awaits snobbery comment)

I tried booking but the guy at the end of the phone said something ominous about "a couple of contractual issues" and "watch this space over the next few days". Meh.

It seems they have their act back together but I'm out; back problems caused by my last off-bike incident have restricted both my movement and what I can drink. Meh.

This: Hibiki 17.

Otherwise blends are for whisky macs.

I hear good things about the HIbiki 30. Nikka also do a number of well regarded blends.

weren't you there for that independent bottle blended night at SWC ? They were really good, although I'll admit to having totally forgotten the names now :)

Monkey's Shoulder and Chivas Regal are meant to be tolerable.

can we do tomorrow?

If you can, ThomA can make it too, since he put in a late Thursday vote in on Doodle

Tomorrow is a no from me, sorry. If you can't do tonight then no worries.

no lock no baggies, just isn't happening I'm afraid.. feck

Heal up Bruce, hope you're ok

No worries CP.

Bottle of Welsh whisky here. Pendryn single malt. Will give it a try shortly.

It's nothing special

Comes in a nice box, attractive slender bottle, seemed a bit metallic to me but certainly drinkable.

Needs water to become drinkable. Way too chemically otherwise.

that Ardbeg Uigeadail.....phwoar....get in! Filthy gorgeous!! My new fave deffo

Yes, definitely better with water.
In other news, the Dalwhinnie on the desk at work ran out so there's now an Oban 14. It's much better than the younger Oban I had once.

Mcallan tasting on tuesday anyone, I've got a plus one if anyone wants it? £25 for non-members

We are very please to announce our next tasting event at the SWC, which will be MACALLAN!

The evening will consist of their new 1824 range (Gold, Amber, Sienna, Ruby), so a fantastic chance to sample them all back to back.

I can offer this safely knowing CB is in saffaland

Jura prophecy £42 at Sainsbury's
Will crack it open & report back

Mizuwari are doing quite a bit for the London Cocktail week.

Think Im going to go to the Suntoury night

Picked up some Woodford Reserve for £22 at Asda the other day. Loving it, not really been that into bourbon before now.

Nice bourbon is really good... like with most spirits our first interaction with them is something cheap an nasty. Probably drinking way to much and vomming everywhere, thusly putting you off a spirit for no really good reason
