Dead on Tarmac. I can't tell you how many times I had customers ask for warm beer because they didn't want the cold beer to go thru a heat cycle and get skunky on the way home. I try to explain to them how many heat cycles it went thru already, but they know what they are talking about because they saw a TV commercial. FYI, no beer is not kept cold from the brewery to the store. I don't care who told you it is. As long as beer stays below 120*F, it will be fine. Over 120*F and you start to have problems.

You're wrong. I'd be a Jameson's drinker... ;)

Still waiting on my prezzies... Asked the wife for a Single Malt and Cigars this year.

Hey wait a minute, that's what I asked for last year too...

Whisky wont be damaged from living in the fridge for awhile then either i guess..

what about the freezer?

It would kill the flavor until its back to room temperature I guess, but it should not harm the flavor or them goody alchohol friends swimming aoround in the fluid should it? :D

Hi Nilsen,

Vodka is one of the only alcoholic beverages that can be stored in the freezer. DO NOT put a good single malt Whiskey in the freezer! Whiskey is not simply distilled alcohol, it is also a complex combination of oils, water, caramels, and other elements that all give the drink it's distinctive taste. Putting it in the freeze will damage it and change the taste.

Thx Segoon

But a fridge should not do that kind of damage right?

Hi Nilsen,

No, the fridge shouldn't damage your Scotch, but the flavor only really opens up when it's at room temperature. The real connosieurs always tend to drink it neat with a drop of water.

Uncultured goons like me just drop in an ice cube or two. ;)

Well so do i... 2 cubes in half a glass, or one i a quarter glass. yum  :)

I have a mini fridge were I keep my rum, vodka, white wine and whisky in the summer when it gets too hot. Its one of those small movable fridges that works on 12v. Its warmer than a fridge, but cooler than the air.

I could leave the whisky outside, but i stick it in with the rest to have it all in one place.

Had the opportunity to try some of this miracle drink last night while I was out throwing darts with some friends.  

WOW!  :)

That was good stuff.  Very nice flavor.  We then proceeded to get blasted on vodka.  :aok

Best Scotch in the world without question is Cardhu, you'll have to be real careful in selecting a bottle though, the distillery couldn't keep up with demand so they had to blend it, trying to find an unblended bottle is like looking for gold, Just so happens that I got 1 in a decanter and 1 in storage, rationed of course, xmas, odd sip at birthdays etc:aok
