The whisky thread

The welsh Chinese whisky?

Probably Italian if it's from the valleys.

Quite like the Welsh one. Penderyn. It's ok if you fancy something a little cheaper.

Never liked it, found it very harsh

Try the legend one. It's a lot smoother.

Bought a bottle whilst in Wales, doubt I would buy another as was expensive for an inferior whisky

Fair enough. I have trouble with Speyside malts so I understand.

Booths have Smokehead on offer at the moment with £10 off. If you like the peaty whiskey it’s worth a punt.

True

That’s interesting. A while back I had a bottle of Smokehead 18 which was superb, I’m assuming the one you’re talking about dos’nt have an age statement? Have you got any details mate.

I cant be doing with Scotch...just cant do it. I love my Irish whiskies, obviously biased....i have been round quite a few but i always come back to good old standard Jamesons.

The caskmates editions are nice...but as well as Jameson i like:

Red Breast
Black Bushmills
Writers Tears
Teelings Small Batch

Have also been told by a few "experts" that anything older than 12 years is pointless...nothing really changes or improves after that

What do you think of Powers? Friend of mine got me on it last year over there, never see over this side of the sea.

If you want a nice whisky get the Glen Marnoch Islay bottle from Aldi. Very good stuff for under 20 quid.

If you’re feeling a little more flush get yourself a bottle of Lagavulin distillers edition. Absolutely sensational.
