Whisky/Whiskey

Post by Mr Onion »

Whats your favourite water of life?

I love Penderyn made in Wales. Beautiful ff, bottled when the distiller says its ready, lots of special 'single cask' issues when the distiller thinks they are worth the effort.

You can get them in Specialist shops, some supermarkets, by post or at the distillery (which is well worth it, especially if you would like to have a taste of neat 100% straight from the still)

James,
I will never understand how anyone can drink Whiskey for pleasure?
I've tried a small glass of many makes over the years,Some costing obscene amounts of money and they all taste the same to me.
I have a mate that has a special fridge just to keep his large collection of very expensive bottles of whisky in at a optimum temperature.

Chilled?? :shock: Room temperature always maybe with a splash of water to release the flavour.

I must admit that some whisky's are awful. Raw, harsh and no subtlety. Mrs O only likes Oban (though her tipple is Gin. Penderyn make a lovely Gin too)
