The whisky thread

Monkey shoulder a Scottish malt whisky bloody lovely
Get yourself a bottle of jura 10 from asda for £27 . I don't mind monkey shoulder and its better than some of the others like haig club . I ain't a expert but I've been trying for 20 years. Jura 10 is superb for the age and price . It's better than many other expensive ones I've bought. Happy supping blue
 
Not a big whisky fan but a mate gave me a glass of Silkie in Donegal, it was lovely.

A bit about it below I’ve copied and pasted….
Sliabh Liag Distillers has shown its smoky side with this Irish blend, dubbed The Legendary Dark Silkie! Taking inspiration from 19th century Donegal whiskey, a triple distilled peated single malt is at the core of this expression, peated to about 22ppm and matured in sherry casks. It's then blended with a bourbon-matured single malt as well as a grain whiskey having been rested in virgin oak. The result? A fruity, subtly smoky and dry bottling which is sure to convert Irish whiskey lovers to a hint of peat!

About to try this.
 
And……
Describe it while you can still type.

Nice.. peat is subtle but makes a difference. Feels like you can smell it more than taste it. Not as sweet as I expected. Lovely bottle and box design, if that counts for anything. Pretty unique.

I like the thought of trying an Irish peaty or peat influenced deoch.
(That’s dram to yourself)
 
tell you what.. it grows on you
You’ve inspired me to have a nightcap.
I’ve chosen that 12 year old Tullamore Dew I found at the back of the cabinet.
And you know what, it is very different to the likes of Redbreast or Teelings, but it has a flavour I can only describe as…. Perfumed. Just as it’s nose is scented, it has an unusual perfumed taste at the front and side of the tip of your tongue that, to Rob your phrase…..
Is growing on me. It’s different but really pleasant.

Now. To put Derry Girls on.

Actually I’ll put them on hold.
Last episode of the John Gilligan interview is on now.
Great documentary. Confessions of a crime boss.
