thx beet.. your vote has been recorded

I don't know whether I can decide between Red Label and Jameson. I don't recall drinking Ballantine's. If I remember correctly, I didn't like The Famous Grouse.

They are quite different types, but both are ok. I need you to make a choise.

Well.. let's say Red Label
-
Jameson is actually an Irish whiskey, as opposed to the others which are Scotch whisky - note the difference in spelling used - in the English language at least.
Famous Grouse is, I believe, a blended whisky. It's not bad, but the whisky purists insist that single malts are better.
-
Glenmorangie is single I belive. It's really IMHO not that much of a difference, but Glenmorangie is the smoothest scotch (WhiskY) I had.
Whiskey is normally much smoother due to a different distilling method, - more refined.
Oh, got to stop, drooling already :D

yup.. Jameson is irish and because of different destillery method compared to scotch it doesnt have that smokey taste, but still good in its own unique way.
Fishu.. your choise is noted :)
I have chosen to trade with my dad. he gets the bourbon i mentioned earlyer in another thread and i get to choose 2 of the above 4 mentioned in return. :)
So far, its a mixed crowd, but ill let you all decide what i pick
-
It's time for a run to the liquor store for some Jack Daniels so you can update your list. ;)
-
I thought Jameson's was only used in horrible drinks like Irish coffee?
Glenmorangi, Glenlivet... the ones harder to pronounce are usualy good too :)
-
Ill take the red label and let you decide the last bottle among the 3 remaining.
-
Johnnie Walker Blue Label...60 years old.
-
you buyin Goomba?
no?
didnt think so...
;)
-
JW isn't very good as far as blended scotches go, Chivas is much better. I liked Glenmorangie, but it isn't normally on the store shelves around here. I have some 18yr old Glenlivet that is smoooooth.
Makers Mark is good. Is that on the list?
-
Famous Grouse and Ballentines can easily be used as a "well" at any bar, cheap stuff
Jamesons for me.
-
JW Red label from the list. It sucks, but there is no JD #7 on the list. :)

Amen, JD rocks.
-
as far as blended scotch I would say usquaebach would be my choice but chivas is good enough on any occasion. gotta agree on the just legal glenlivet it is indeed very smooth.
-
Buyin'? Hell, no! Whatever gave you that impression?
Last two bottles were gifts...made 'em last more than a year each.

Well.. since you suggested a whisky not on the list, and a fairly expencive one too
-
Jameson. Altho I prefer Knappogue Castle for Irish whiskey and Maker's Mark for Kentucky bourbon.
-
Alrighty.. starting to look like Jameson will be my second choise :)
-
All of those on your list are blends I believe. Sorry, but for me even the best blend is as good as a mediocre single malt.
-
Cant help it lukster... those 4 are what i have to choose from in the trade.
To be honest, i like all 4 even tho they are very different. We are not talking sipping whisky anyway, i have a few bottles of the really good stuff. Nope.. these will be "getting hammered" bottles that ill take with me on holiday that starts on saturday.
-
Ahhh, sorry...missed your original point. My error.
-
no worries goomba :)
sure you wont spring for a blue? ;)

seems to be very effective...scared him off!
*considers Canadian distribution*
-
Teh booze is teh devil!
-
Given the list, I'd have to take:
Grouse for sippin'
Jameson's for making drinks.
BUT - that is a pretty limited list.
Given my preference, I think I'd take a nice bottle of Macallan's 18 yr old over both. Scotch shouldn't be drunk until it's legal ;)

Black Label.
If you're gonna drink yourself stupid, might as well do it with something that's as dear to your wallet as it is to your liver.
-
A vote by Eagle DNY has been recoreded. :)
Again.. can only choose from these because my dad wont trade any of his later builds. i have to choose between these early beta builds :D

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".

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. :)
