Tastes like coal dust. All it really takes is the right scotch at the right time and your eyes will be opened There's heaps of milder flavoured ones with none of the peaty coal taste. 12 minutes ago, camo86T said: Oh and make sure you're not drinking johnny walker red/100 pipers/black douglas or other sh*t Definitely ^^ Also give the Irish a go (Jamesons, Tullamore Dew are the regular shop ones) - go quite nice with soda Edited 05/08/16 12:37 AM by Rab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost $200 for a round of 8 apparently. Maybe if I grew a hipster beard and wore tight second hand pants it would taste ok. I might give the Irish whiskey a run soon. Supposed to be the number one import to the states back in the day before all the sh*t went down in Ireland and they fell into recession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not much a fan of peaty (smokey) whiskeys, so can highly recommended Glengoyne 12 or 15yr old scotches for a very smooth drop.I think my favourite whiskey to date was a Midletons Very Rare Irish whiskey. Midletons is essentially Jamesons high end stuff and dear god it was smooth. I'd have a bottle in my collection in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the $250 a bottle price tag over here. Definitely one you'd only have a little of on very special occasions.I actually tried a couple of bourbons I didn't hate the other night when I went out. Four Roses Small Batch was decent.

Had a salty after taste, which I actually liked, surprisingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
