Askan Sprock Gallente Orias Fringe Enterprises OWN Alliance	Posted - 2009.03.19 18:47:00 - [1] So.... We're having fun in the Whisky strength thread, I thought we'd start a full on Whisky thread. Tell us all what whisky/ey/bourbon or other strong spirit you have/drank/recieved and what you like about it! My dad brought me a bottle of 10yo Glengoyne for dinner today. Simple, clean highland malt with some fruit and sweetness, and a nice dry finish. More of an afternoon malt imho. Drank a 16yo suntory in a Sushi place the other day, and I was really surprised: like drinking a bouquet of flowers. Even more so than Cragganmore! very clean, flowery and i'll certainly be buying a bottle! Anyone else: chime in! Formerly known as Cornucopian (yes... I'm back) 10mil SP to go to my old position.
Elysarian Minmatar dudetruck corp	Posted - 2009.03.19 18:52:00 - [2] Jack Daniel's goes well with cola. If I'm drinking something straight (or on the rocks) it has to be a single malt scotch or, my personal favourite, Jameson's Irish. ===================================== It smells of spoon! =====================================

Ruze Ahkor'Murkon Amarr No Applicable Corporation	Posted - 2009.03.19 19:42:00 - [4] I ain't a connoisseur. I even had to have firefox spellchecker fix that word for me, cause I have no clue how to spell it. Still, I do have my preferences. I grew up a Tequila man, and can drink more clear alcohol than most people twice my size. It's part of the family heritage, I guess. Tequila or Vodka, I'll put you down. But about three years back I bought a bottle of Crown Royal. I didn't know a thing about whiskey (still don't, honest), but I'd seen a lot of ads for Crown in my dad's Playboy's as I was growing up. I love it. Since, I've drank a lot of Daniels and Bean as well. I have to admit, I like them all. Different reasons, true. Best part is, is while I can go through clear liquor like water, dark liquors get me drunk ... fast. They work well as my 'cheap buzz', and they taste great. On a side note, I recently picked up drinking Captain Morgan rum, and have found another passion. Never had much call for rum before, but for some reason my tastes have changed and I'm enjoying it a heck of a lot.

Slade Trillgon Masuat'aa Matari Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2009.03.19 20:21:00 - [5] Twice I have had Jonnie Walker Blue flow across my lips. That stuff is nice. I pretty much will drink any whiskey that is available. That is pretty much the only liquor I drink. If it is low quality I will usually mix it with a splash or two of Ginger Ale depending on how bad the brown is. If I go with top shelf I put it on a few small rounds of ice. If I am out at the club I will sip on Southern Comfort. It is sweet as hell, but I am not going to sip on bottom shelf and by the time I get to the third I will not be able to tell if it is top or bottom shelf anyway. The funny thing is that when I order SoCo's I usually get doubles I enjoy mid grade scotch's with my father and brother-in-law on holidays. I do not know much about the differences in the varieties of scotch. If you know where to get a good jar of Moonshine you can really liven up a party. As for Jameson. If there is such a fuss about whisky/whiskey why is an Irish Whiskey spelled with the "e". Or is that just all marketing to sell Jameson to the US public? Or is Jameson just garbage whisky bottled as a high price whiskey? Slade Originally by: Niccolado Starwalker Please go sit in the corner, and dont forget to don the shame-on-you-hat! =v=

If there is such a fuss about whisky/whiskey why is an Irish Whiskey spelled with the "e". Or is that just all marketing to sell Jameson to the US public?

That is just a guess though. --- Need a new signature?
defiler Mad Hermit Wayward Alliance	Posted - 2009.03.19 20:58:00 - [7] Well, I haven't had all that much Whisky in my life (bought my first bottle about four years ago), but Islay Whiskys are without a doubt my favourites so far. Ardbeg (Uigeadail), Laphroaig, Bowmore etc... They're all good. Most of my friends can't stand this "liquid peat" as they call it, but there are such incredible aromas underneath it, they don't know what they're missing. But hey, that means more for me! Straight up is best, if it doesn't go down well as-is then it's not worth having at all IMHO. I have, on occassion, made exception from that rule by adding a liiittle bit of room temperature water if the Whisky is 50% or stronger though - not much point drinking if the mouth goes all numb after the first sip...

Lagavulin 16yrs Very distinct taste, love the smokyness. 2. Highland Park 18yrs Smooth and nice, excellent taste. 3. Talisker 18yrs Lasts forever in the mouth. In that order I would absolutely agree on the first two, also in that order. I have a bottle of 10 yo Talsiker, and I have to admit it's just not my stuff. A little but too much for my palate: how does the 18 yo differ? Formerly known as Cornucopian (yes... I'm back) 10mil SP to go to my old position.
Tallaran Kouros Caldari Arcane Alliance	Posted - 2009.03.19 22:25:00 - [9] Mmm, +1 for Talisker - it's a VERY nice drink.

Or is that just all marketing to sell Jameson to the US public? Or is Jameson just garbage whisky bottled as a high price whiskey? It's simply colloquial spellings. If it's Irish or American it's a Whiskey. If it's Scottish or Japanese, it's a Whisky. Anyway: Originally by: Wikipedia The word "whiskey" is believed to have been coined by soldiers of King Henry II who invaded Ireland in the 12th century as they struggled to pronounce the native Irish words uisce beatha (IPA: [ɪʃkʲə bʲahə]) meaning "water of life". Over time, the pronunciation changed from "Whishkeyba" (an approximation of how the Irish term sounds) to "Whisky". The name itself is a gaelic translation of the Latin phrase aqua vitae, meaning "Water of Life". At one time, all whisky was spelled without the 'e', as "whisky". In around 1870, the reputation of Scottish whisky was very poor as Scottish distilleries flooded the market with cheaper spirits produced using the Coffey still. The Irish and American distilleries adopted the spelling "whiskey", with the extra "e", to distinguish their higher quality product. Today, the spelling whisky (plural whiskies) is generally used for whiskies distilled in Scotland, Wales, Canada, and Japan, while whiskey is used for the spirits distilled in Ireland and America. Even though a 1968 directive of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms specifies "whisky" as the official U.S. spelling, it allows labeling as "whiskey" in deference to tradition and most U.S. producers still use the historical spelling. Exceptions such as Early Times, Maker's Mark, and George **el are usually indicative of a Scottish heritage. In the late Victorian era, Irish whiskey was the world's most popular whisk(e)y. Of the Irish whiskeys, Dublin whiskeys were regarded as the grands crus of whiskeys. In order to differentiate Dublin whiskey from other whiskies, the Dublin distilleries adopted the spelling "whiskey". The other Irish distilleries eventually followed suit. The last Irish "whisky" was Paddy, which adopted the "e" in 1966. "Scotch" is the internationally recognized term for "Scotch whisky" however it is rarely used in Scotland, where grain whisky is generally referred to as "whisky" and single malt whisky as "malt". As a scotsman, I ing hate whisky. Never understood the point of any spirits to be honest; real beer and proper cider are the king and queen of drinks. - Originally by:** The Cuckoo Good luck in defending idiotic and greedy noobs, as far as I'm concerned, you are their champion.
Pitt Gallente Invicta.	Posted - 2009.03.20 00:07:00 - [15] Have to agree about the expensive stuff, it's good but not really what you're going to drink when out on the town for a good time. And if it is what you drink "out on the town" you're probly at a bar that I'd ever go to so... On the other hand the reliable 3 are everywhere and affordable without being "cheap". Jim Beam (sweet) Jack Daniels (smoky) Southern Comfort (cross of sweet and fruity) been years since I drank SoCo, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. for mid priced and somewhat easy to find Bulleit (love it and won't break the bank) And yes REAL moonshine is a great way to get blasted, taste of it? Who care's in about 3.5 seconds after the swig hits your stomach you won't be able to feel your toe's :) *How many must die in the name of God before the Devil is satisfied*

Camilo Cienfuegos Earned In Blood	Posted - 2009.03.20 14:32:00 - [20] Originally by: DanMck people like you should move down south and drink your strongbow Strongbow is not cider, it's merely apple-ish flavoured alcohol and sits in the same pool of "**e" as most spirits to me. Real cider is cloudy and still has bits in the bottom. It's also usually something like 15% by volume :) Oh, and awa' and bile yer hied. - Originally by:** The Cuckoo Good luck in defending idiotic and greedy noobs, as far as I'm concerned, you are their champion.

Brain Cramp	Posted - 2009.03.20 16:54:00 - [22] I have been a Jack Daniels drinker for a long time. I recently tried the upscale version of "Gentleman Jack" and immediately became a convert. Regular Jack is smokey and harsh, a great whiskey but most people will mix it with coke or something else. Gentleman Jack still has that great smokey flavor and is so smooth it does not need to be mixed. I love drinking that straight up. If you like Jack, I highly recommend trying Gentleman Jack!

Pitt Gallente Invicta.	Posted - 2009.03.20 21:31:00 - [24] Aye Gentelman Jack is good, if you're more of a Jim Beam fan I suggest you try the reserve brand Knob Creek. All in all tho, you'll need to search for what suits your taste. There are some really good small(er) distilleries out there (Stranahans comes to mind), and there is some really bad large distilleries (Early Times shudders). Really want to give everything a try, find a bar with a large selection. Go in on a weekday mid-afternoon (2-4) and let the bar tender know you're there to sample, aka 1/4 shots (very important) and ask if he/she minds (also very important). Most don't mind if business is slow, you let them know up front what you're doing, be polite/friendly, and some tenders can even point you in a good direction. Hell, that's just good common sense for anyone wanting to sample anything, not just whiskey. *How many must die in the name of God before the Devil is satisfied*

Recon Three 181st Legion W A S T E L A N D	Posted - 2009.03.21 00:41:00 - [27] Never had any whiskey on the rocks before, I take shots or, with sipping whiskey, take sips. I dunno why, lol. I feel like I'm killing it, although I heard an ice cube or two w/ Jameson makes it insanely clean tasting. _____ I love Liang.

I agree with your opinions and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Except I prefer Powers to Jameson. It's just a bit smoother.
Mizz Wolf Minmatar Native Freshfood	Posted - 2009.03.21 04:33:00 - [30] If you are a Jack fan, you must try the Single Barrel. Gentlemen is good, Single Barrel is better in my opinion. Most Jack Daniel's bottles are a mix from various barrels which is done in order to make a uniform product. The Single Barrel is just that, a batch of hootch from one barrel, therefore it's always going to taste a little different, gives it character. Also, a good batch of rye whisky moonshine is amazing. Had some 2o year old 'shine at Christmas a couple years back that was not only smooth but kicked like a mule. There is nothing like a smooth drinking liquor that makes a pretty blue flame when you light it on fire. Other than the Jack, I like my Scotches, 12 yr old Glenlivet preferably.
