No idea what the 'proper' way is, I just like what I like, but never ever a mixer, not even ice.

Alan i have drunk with you a few times it just goes straight down lol

Over the teeth over the gums, look out stomach, here it comes. I do like to 'taste' the odd one, this one really took my taste buds by suprise, so much so I had to look it up to see what I was tasting. Very very nice.

Very true, even if it is kidology, truth is, I love a good whiskey, but whiskey don't love me, too much and it's fire water, I just wanna fight the world lol, so I know my limits with it

A good friend of mine that enjoys his Whisky always orders that when we are out, never tasted it myself... yet

At least I think that's the one, is it prenounced La-Froic?

It's distilled through smoke and peat, these flavours come through in buckets, it's not a 'normal' taste, once you getthe taste for it though, very nice.

very nice Rob

both very fine whiskeys

as the others have said , whiskey is an aquired taste so use it as a mixer. a drop of ginger beer makes a whiskey mac

 

[Mouldy]

Not to keen on the 'peaty' one's. Like Highland Park, Glen Morangie, Oban and Glen Livet. There are a few others but the names escape me!

Just last weekend, I watched a show about how bourbon is made (in Kentucky) and how scotch is made (in Scotland). Fascinating stuff.

Used to be good mates with a guy who had the best job in the world...whisky taster for some large group. He often held tasting nights for charity and always told us that malts were meant to be mixed with equal ammounts of water at room temperature and not to be consumed for about two minutes after mixing. You can actually see the chemical reaction in the glass when you add the water so need to wait until it is complete...this is to bring out the flavour. Its a sin to mix a malt with lemonade or coke etc...ice...the scots may let you away with. I used to mix mine with lucozade...got you drunk but kept the energy levels up!!!! However......the best way to down any malt....is at my house...give me a call and I'll supply the water and glasses.....
