Im going to take it that none of you have tried Tullamore Dew. Its pretty good. Of course I usualy drink Rum on the Rocks. So I dont have a point of comparrison except for that one bottle of REAL cheap scotch.

I have. It's nae sae bad for an Irish whiskey (sic!) -- all kidding aside, TD (Gie every man his DEW!) is what I drink when I want a drop of the "Irish", although I am a single-malt man.

Rum on the rocks? I hope you mix that with Coca-Cola! :mrgreen:

Cheers,

Todd

LOL No I dont.
I prefer the hard stuff straight up.

Don't forget to add a bit of lime to that coke and rum.

Im with you Graham in that one of my favourite is Laphroaigs; Bowmore is the other. Both strong peaty, smoky flavours. In fact I often have to try one, then the other, then one then the other, just to find the favourite. It never works, so I keep on trying !

The worst single malt I ever had was....darn good :grin: I guess my favorites would be Craggenmore or Glenmorangie Port Finish. At least today they are, I get a different single malt each time I run out and who knows what it will be the next time I pick some up.

Graham - which Laphroaig were you drinking? You've got me curious about this one. I tried some Laphroaig at the Whisky Heritage Center in Edinburgh when we were there and as I remember I was quite taken with it (I could be wrong... I tried a LOT of whiskies that day - but I'd have to try again to remember properly :grin: ).

Most Single Malts are good (well made) for each taste there's a malt...from smooth and sweet to stiff and peaty.

I only encoutered one terrible malt (so far) "Isle of Jura" it's outright filthy...a weird soap taste :-|

Excellent point, Robin. Not being a single malt drinker normally, I was surprised by the vast selection in whiskies I encountered in Scotland. There's truly something for everyone (unless you don't drink at all... don't remember seeing any non-alcholic versions).

That would be blasphemy...the thought alone!
