Was just looking for a bottle to toast my new daughter, may have to give this a go. Was looking for a Japanese one to try as well. Are the tasting notes accurate Mark? I normally am not a huge fan of Glenmorangie but if it's a bit difference I will be tempted.

Yes but listen, you can spend 20 quid on a bottle of rubbish or you can savour a nice bottle of this, 1 ice cube, no more and thats you, sit back, type some rubbish on here, ignore the wife, sorted

To be fair that's not expensive for a good bottle.

I've never understood why people drink cheap whiskey, might as well go the whole hog and just buy paint stripper.

Exactly, even if 2 of you kill a good bottle one evening, you had a nice evening.

SpeedFreak · 19 Mar 2011 at 16:15

exactly, a bottle will not be finished that quickly and most bottles under £25 are better for mixing than anything else. £60 is a bargain for a bottle of 20 shorts. (28 here)

A nice whisky. Prefer The Glenlivet Nadurra though, similar price.

For the record, purists will tell you that you shouldn't drink whisky with ice regardless of if it's only one cube or 4. Ice affects the taste and removes a lot of the fragrance as well. Been to so many distilleries now and they always reinforce that point but at the end of the day if that's how you enjoy it fair enough

It should be a drop of water only to release the full flavours and aromas.

Bleek · 19 Mar 2011 at 16:22

No ice, never, this isn't Jack Daniels!

1 part spring water 5 or 6 parts whiskey.

Yea i did till today, but me and me brother couldnt resist a trip up to Milroys

Anyway the ice, yes my brother says its a big no no, but i do love 1 cube.

We also got a 25 year old Glen Ord and one of Milroys own bottled, very nice for the money those too.

I won't tell the wife if you send me a little bribe in the form of a bottle of whisky.

No hes saying at least buy a half decent single malt and enjoy it, it is what it is, it dont need killing with lemonade

sigma · 19 Mar 2011 at 16:58

I have to agree, single malts are so much nicer that they're worth it, even if it means you drink less, because they're much, much more enjoyable.

Not too bad, but depends how carried away they get during the party.
