Well I was sitting here flicking through Dakka Dakka, sipping my lovely Whisky, and wondered to my self,

I wonder what everyone on Dakka likes in whisky terms.

So mine being Jamesons Irish whisky,

What is yours ?


Cheers

Jim Beam over rocks in one glass and Coka-cola over rocks in another glass, sip glass one, sip glass two, repeat as nesessary.

Bushmills aged Irish. Neat with a splash of water (about a teaspoon or less).

Jamesons for a second choice.

Can't handle Scotch (too harsh) less than 21 years old and single-malted (but hyper expensive).

Bourbon is like petrol (gasoline) to me.

can't say i drink enough to have a preference, though i avoid the stuff that you buy in a plastic jug, despite what some friends have said about it.

Jack Daniels,straight up.

Oban, neat.

Glenfiddich Scotch is nice, Grants is okay. That is about all I have tried.

Oh, Straight, over ice or with coke (but not often)

Fancy scotch is great, I don't really have any expertise on this but a sip of smoky scotch takes the edge off of anything for me.

Not my drink of choice, water is more better than anything IMHO, and I simply cannot handle most whiskey as it tends to make me pretty agro. I think the problem is that I mix cheaper whiskey with soda any time I drink any, and sugar always makes me a dare-devil drunk.

Smirnoff ice is utterly rank to me on that same note. BLLAARRRGGHHhhhhh!!!

Talisker 12 year, followed closely by Macallan 17. Normally on the rocks, but possibly with a splash.

Shaken not stirred ?

Canadian mist and pepsi on the rocks. My cat likes it too.

Does this count?



Though we turn that into this:

Jamesons if I have to. Rum preferred, however.

My preferred Scotch


Beautiful, and a fantastically crisp finish. Drink it on the rocks, or with the merest hint of distilled water if no ice is available.

From the distillery website

Whisky Promotional blurb wrote:Triple distilled and matured in American bourbon oak; the whisky is finished in Spanish oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks.

The result: a Lowland single malt whisky rich with dark fruits, thick butterscotch, roasted hazelnuts and the signature smooth, delicate, Auchentoshan taste

The Balvenie, the doublewood 12 year.

Best drink I ever had was a Bond Martini from Excalibur in Chicago. Stoli Elite given the treatment you would expect.

Good stuff.

Captain Morgan over anything else.
Although Jack comes in at a close second.

Southern Comfort for me. Tastes like candy. Mix with Dr. Pepper, half and half. Always to be kept in the freezer.

Second would be Wild Turkey American Honey. Good stuff, take it straight. Again, always to be kept in the freezer.

I have a few.

Jack Daniels over Ice with coke

Southern Comfort over ice with lemonade/dr pepper

Jim Bean over Ice with coke

Wild Turkey straight (that s£$% is guarenteed to blow your head off!)

Whisky, made for drunks by drunks, is a bs drink which there is absaloutely nothing pleasent about.

Other than that, my favourite tipples are a nice Armagnac or Port (a special reserve, Taylors is a good label).

JD

Honestly, I don't really like whiskey. Crown Royal is okay in Black Tooth Grins, but other than that, I vastly prefer other beverages, like tequila.

Jack daniels, nothing with it

Wild Turkey. My grandmother drank it, my dad drinks it, I drink it. Has led to hilarious "moments" for all of us.

OO I forgot another one I like to drink on occasion....Johnnie Walker Black Label, thats some gooooood drinking.

LoL some nice drinks there for sure ! Will have to try the ones I have never heard of !

Is it just me or is it really appropriate that the whisky thread has a misspelling in the title. Thats so right its wrong.

Jameson, neat.

"Once it touches your lips, it's so good..."

Grants Sherry cast on cold rocks (literally rocks! I have a set of granite 'ice' cubes - they don't water it down.)

Failing that any nice tipple, I'm not to fussy, just not cheap paint-stripper cak.

Or for something sweeter - JD or jim beam, equal parts with disaronno, toppe dup with coke, half a lime squeezed in, then rubbed around the rim of the glass - mmmmmmmmmm
