i've had a few whiskeys, and about three other scotches. glenlivet is the only one i've found, so far, that i like. it is malt forward, rather mild, without the overbearing peat. i can still taste some smokiness, but it doesn't come back to my palette for hours afterwards.

funny, i went to the liquor store to get maker's mark. i've never had it, although i visited the distillery when i was about four or five (i can remember it vividly). i decided not to risk it and went with what i knew.

I want some scotch. :(

Scotch and Bourbon stop ageing after it leaves the cask. A s/s, glass or ceramic flask does not absorb the liquid inside.....

Wine needs to be on it's side to keep the cork wet as does other alcoholic beverages. Oxygen is a bad thing for finished wine and spirits.

FYI - US Airways serves Glenlivet and I recently discovered UAL does too on int'l. flights. Though I cleaned them out coming back from Shanghai and then they only had Dewar's.

Peat is an acquired taste.

Some of my favs

Scotch
Caol Ila
Laphroiag
Lagavulin

Bushmills

Bourbon
Maker's Mark
Four Roses
Corner Creek

I took the family to the Bourbon trail in KY last Summer. We made Bardstown our main camp and took day trips around to different distilleries.

I highly recommend this trip to further your appreciation of bourbon. The whisky museum is free and well worth the trip.

That's one of Barton's aging warehouses above.

I always like to ask this question in these circumstances.....

How do you tell the difference between Catholic and Protestant made Irish Whiskey?

Green or Orange label?

i don't think that peat is going to be acquired as a taste by me. my palette just doesn't like it. some of you may know about my passion for beer, that passion ends with smoked beers (rauchbier) or anything similar.

I've tried several different Scotchs, glenlivet, glen morangie, glen fiddich, various Johnnys, and some other less common stuff. I've also had Irish Whisky and bourbon. I haven't really acquired a taste for any of them. I guess if I had to, I'd pick bourbon as the one that I'd be most likely to drink if I had to drink one of them.

one is consumed prophylacticly.

When youse wankers gets serious...youse gets an ansker.....

Orange label...gimme a break....

You have to store this stuff: Humm, store it where? For how long? My wife would like me to store it for a very long time, but I'm more into drinking it when I get it. Store it. Now that's a very new idea. I'll get back to you on that.

its all irish whiskey.

Whisky Protestant
Whiskey Catholic

close...no ceegar....

What does angel share refer to?
