Whether it's a legal matter or not, Scotch should never be called whiskey!

Whiskey, bourbon, for these things I have pride in my homeland.

Root beer! Suckaz!

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 29 March 2005 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

it's difficult to get root beer in the u.k., and anyway it doesn't get you drunk.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

it's salt whisky bar, in seymour street. fancy a julep, anyone?

eight months pass...

Have any of our UK friends seen or tried this "J&B -6ºc"? I just got a press release; evidently they're testing it in the UK and thinking of bringing it to the US. Sounds like a scotch for vodka drinkers: "with a pale color and an apple-pear scent" = almost clear and tasteless, to lure clear-liquor market share in a whiskier direction?

I've fallen in love with Evan Williams bourbon--cheap and delicious!

just renewed my stock of makers mark. must watch to ensure i don't drink it all too quickly.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 02:24 (twenty years ago)

i was drinking maker's at the fap last week.

Alabama Song to thread!

― Aimless (Aimless), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 02:31 (twenty years ago)

I've tasted Dewar's and it is very masculine.

― youn, Tuesday, 13 December 2005 02:32 (twenty years ago)

ah, whiskey, so good. Jameson is my usual, but I've tried smokey whiskey and it's quite nice and strong. What is that J&B -6 trying to do, be vodka? hm. I'm sure it is far too easy to drink.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 02:34 (twenty years ago)

NO WHISKY BAD WHISKY WHISKY BAD

― dabnis coleman's ghost (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 02:36 (twenty years ago)

Ewwww. I'm having some Talisker with a few drops of Drambuie on it tonight, as dinner. heh. I've had a cold for a few days, and this will hopefully knock some of it out of me.

― lyra (lyra), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 02:40 (twenty years ago)

Hm, is that symbol messed up on everyone's browser? It is supposed to read "J&B minus six degrees Celsius" but from here it is a complex and unfamiliar Chinese character.

Trying to be vodka, yes indeed.

― Paul Eater (eater), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 03:12 (twenty years ago)

working fine on my browser. Looks like Manx or Welsh whisky. Probably fairly tasteless un-aged malt spirit. Looks ghastly.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 08:33 (twenty years ago)

Thank you, ILE, for reminding me to get a bottle of Balvenie for Mum and Dad for Christmas.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 09:28 (twenty years ago)

Not encountered it myself, but I would guess it's either a bit grim or so tasteless you might as well be drinking vodka.

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 09:54 (twenty years ago)

regualr J&B is already on the light side compared to say, JW Black.

clearly intended not to compete w/flavor of soda/mixers?

Caption competition coming up

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:35 (twenty years ago)

I believe it's aged properly and then chill-filtered to remove "impurities," i.e. flavor.

There was an article in Saturday's Wall Street Journal about "controversial" new products being introduced by Scotch distilleries, but they didn't even mention this abomination. The most controversial was Bruichladdich introducing a blend of three vintages in one bottle.

From your reports I guess the UK launch this past summer did not make a huge splash.

― Paul Eater (eater), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 15:03 (twenty years ago)

I have a bottle of the sherry casked Bowmore (given to me by a friend) mentioned in that article, and it's really not that great. I've been drinking it, but doubt I'd buy a bottle on my own.

― lyra (lyra), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 17:58 (twenty years ago)

I've yet to like the taste of any hard liquor. Unless Stoli Vanil or Raspberry counts.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

wow, hey ken, how expensive is woodford over there?

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

This was MY thread???

― FiFi (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 18:03 (twenty years ago)

I have been drinking whiskey lately when we go out. It's a good winter drink.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 18:04 (twenty years ago)

It's good for warmth and effect; hell going down tho.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 18:05 (twenty years ago)

you can mix it with stuff, morbs.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 18:07 (twenty years ago)

I pref the shots, for effect.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 18:13 (twenty years ago)

I'm not a big hard liquor drinker but whiskey doesn't seem that difficult to drink straight to me.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 18:15 (twenty years ago)

Friday = pay day = trip to liquor store for bourbon & scotch! Yay hard liquor!!!

― Jaq (Jaq), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 18:33 (twenty years ago)

I'm guessing 1:30 on a Tuesday isn't the most appropriate time for whiskey, but fuck, here is this thread, and here is a sudden jump in my stress level. ANYWAY.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

omg i don't know that for a fact and it's making me upset

― surm, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 03:37 (sixteen years ago)

as a medical doctor, it seems that you endorse the cooling factors of freezered gin. good man! xpost

― BLEAT THE MEATLES. PARADE. (jjjusten), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 03:38 (sixteen years ago)

this is going to be a good thread, i can feel it

― BLEAT THE MEATLES. PARADE. (jjjusten), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 03:39 (sixteen years ago)

Having a flask bottle in the hip pocket feels suspiciously like I imagine a shoulder holster feels.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 03:39 (sixteen years ago)

Also makes me imagine tats of Jack Daniels under the heart lol

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 03:39 (sixteen years ago)

once i took a pink alligator flask to a bar, and the guy checked my bag. and he was like, you have to leave this outside

― surm, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 03:40 (sixteen years ago)

Also--yall: all yall:: it is too hot for whiskey and that is why I am going to sit on my porch and sip whiskey and sweat in the humid ass texas night. Because tonight is that night.

It was the missus, Deems! Admittedly, it was the hipster component that made her (not a connaisseur by any means) pick it, it came in a Ulysses-inspired festive packaging. I'm really pleased w/ it though, it's very warm and spiced indeed.

I'm def gonna get the Currach. Trying more/different whiskey is a good new years resolution imo.

As someone from the bog, admit to being slightly upset that peat is Scotland’s flavour, not ours.

― scampish inquisition (gyac), Saturday, 2 January 2021 13:55 (five years ago)

That cannot stand. And I say this as someone from a bog myself.

― A Scampo Darkly (Le Bateau Ivre), Saturday, 2 January 2021 13:58 (five years ago)

I think I'm right in saying a large proportion of the island of Great Britain is peat bog.

― Eggbreak Hotel (Tom D.), Saturday, 2 January 2021 14:05 (five years ago)

Blanket bog mainly rather than raised bog iirc?

― scampish inquisition (gyac), Saturday, 2 January 2021 14:10 (five years ago)

We *can* do it (Connemara a fine example) but whether through history or tradition its never really been a characteristic of what we produce (possibly because production of the initial spirit was geared for blending as a major feature of our production process back at the peak of the industry, not sure tbh)

I poured a little rye, neat. It's pretty good! It's from 11 Wells, part of the Minnesota rye trend, I guess? https://www.growlermag.com/a-pocket-full-of-rye-how-a-lowly-northern-grain-is-mounting-a-comeback-through-whiskey/

I have had Roknar once before, I realized after reading that article. It was $50+ at the store though.

the classic laddie thenight. an islay but not one of the better ones

I've been curious about that because I like Port Charlotte. Not too great?

― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Sunday, 3 January 2021 20:59 (five years ago)

... only for an islay. when your peers are ardbeg, lagavulin, caol ila, laphroaig etc, it's a tough gig

Finished a Glenlivet founder's reserve (which i don't think I'd mentioned above) and the gap annoyed me so I took a chance on Teelings small batch trusting that the rotgut theyd sold me when they first started out would have improved with time, experience and the few awards id seen them garner

Very typical irish pot still to start, maybe not as gentle as the others, but where its quite notable is that it doesnt come sweet at all despite a long enough finish. Cant see it becoming a favourite because i like em sweet, but certainly in no way a bad effort in the thirtyish quid bracket

― nob lacks, noirish (darraghmac), Tuesday, 5 January 2021 17:42 (five years ago)

Couple of sips later and i take it back about the sweetness, tho not as deep or rich as youd be used to
