The OCUK Whisky (and Whiskey) review thread

I bought a famous Grouse 50ml bottle to try the other day as I'm not a big drinker but wanted to give whiskey ago.... I put ice in the cup with it, took a sip and nearly blew my head off :cry: apparently I'm better trying with coke etc

Coke just conceals the spirit. A lot of whisk(e)y and cokes often use cheap (not necessarily bad) American whiskeys and bourbons, where the fresh American oak casks impart quite a strong and sweet vanilla flavour which can work quite well. Whisky might disagree with you, which is no bad thing. Plenty of other spirits available!

When you start drinking neat you just have to go with tiny, and I mean really tiny sips, it's the only way. Power on, you can get there
