Whisk(e)y Thread!

Personally I disagree but taste is subjective so fair play to you BUT blended with baileys…

No mate, absolutely the fu** not.

Only when ive written it off as a dud does it get that treatment.

Can I ask which ones got mixed with Baileys?

I have about 30 whiskeys and about 8 are currently open. One is the Talisker that I opened about 12 months ago and still three quarters full, just not an overly enjoyable peated whiskey at all.

Each to their own . I relish it.
What would you say is your fave ?

Usually just use cheap bourban. But have also done the laphroaig 10 and some speysides. Glenfiddich being one.

Favourite peated would be lagavulin 16 though I really enjoy Connemarra for the price. Favourite whiskey that I've tried ever is tougher, balvenie 17, glenallachie 15, bunnahabhain 12 would be up there

Balvenie is up there too. Delicious. But they’re all delicious really

Honestly anything from balvenie is delicious! Have a 12 looking at me from the cabinet but need to get my smell and taste back first!

Such as? I havent found one yet.

There's been a few recommendations already, I would also add a good side step from Talisker 10 is the Laphroiag Quarter Cask.

Each to their own, that's what's so good about whiskey, you can find one to suit your tastes and there's no wrong answers, but man I couldn't finish my nip of Talisker a few weeks back, just a dirty ashtray taste

For me its the ardberg that tastes like an ashtray. where i get all these interesting flavours in the talisker. Clearly it can be quite subjective.

Yeh Ardbeg is way too peaty.
