Yup... the talisker :)

From the blended ones, the green label should be the closest match

Jameson mixes very well with Diet Pepsi and Diet Coke.  For some odd reason, the lightness of it matches perfectly with the diet sodas.  


Anyway, I'm still experimenting with the single malt scotches and the differences.  I've done a Highland bottle of McClelland's, and am now cracking open an Islay bottle.  

But for a real good one, you gotta go with Drambuie.

Good luck with the Islay scotches - I don't like that "taste o'peat and seaweed" that you get with the island scotches.  Old scotch aged in a sherry cask - that's what I like.  

If you like blends, try a bottle of Pinch.  It's not bad - it's not 18 year old Macallans, but it'll do in a "pinch".

Let us know what you think of them. I'm especially interested in the Red Label.

Ive had it several times before, but its a long time ago, and before I started to like whisky. Ill see it with new and more open eyes this time, and not just something I have to force down to get drunk. :)
