Scotch Whiskey 101

“Congrats! On the hike and the great scotch!”

“Mmmmmmm.....















bourbon.
Haha!”

“Every Thursday, before treatment, I will drink uisge beatha and make a toast to us all.

Anyone who would like to send a uisge beatha donation, please email me.

Thank you.

Cheers.”

“A friend dropped by with a gift: Gordon Graham's black bottle 10 yr old. Blended Islay. Very nice smokey-peateyness. I needed an ice cube but I believe it was due to the condition of my mouth only.”

“You aren't even supposed to use mouthwash or spray with that condition are you?

btw- good friend! :)”

“Probably not. I can't eat anything acidic. But what can I do when someone shows up at my door with Scotch? He is a good friend. same one that gave me the Laphroaig Quarter Cask for my birthday. Dude rawks!

:D”

“But what can I do when someone shows up at my door with Scotch?

One word...funnel.”

“Chevas....hmmm I wouldn't mind a glass of it right now.”

“Just got a great gift from the outlaws, a 16yr old bottle of Lagavulin singlemalt. They said it tasted of leather. Dayum this stuff is GOOD!”

“Lucky Bastard.”

“That's right rub it in. Nigal and I'll be drinking Rare Breed one week from this very moment in the Gorge with out you though.”

“I'm not one to drink anything other than beer---hate most of the other stuff, in fact. Last night my dad had me try some bourbon he had....nothing special, it was Wild Turkey made with honey but I don't remember the exact name. I thoroughly enjoyed it! (probably because it was some pretty wimpy stuff.) I told him it was the first whiskey that I would ever consider drinking.”

“Rare Bred is made by wild turkey Non. It's their top shelf stuff but is really stout at 108.4 proof. It's highly flamable too. LOL!”

“Nothing burns like 151....


well, unless you are talking about Everclear.”

“one word dude.




shine”

“Bro, it is a capital offense to burn shine in the South.

Good moonshine should generate a rapture akin to a lover's kiss....smooth on the lips, but warming to the soul.”

“Damn I wish Chili got my name for the ornament exchange....

It's oh to hang a quart mason jar on your christmas tree right? I mean if it has a piece of festive fabric between the lid and the ring, you know? I think that'd be ok, then the kids could leave it for santa on christmas eve...”

“Damn right!”

“instead of cookies you could put a good cigar, and maybe some nice cheese too.

Hmmm... me thinks Santa will be a right jolly old elf for sure this year...”

“Some delightful members of the Moffet clan (and several other name variations) at the Scottish games we attended yesterday shared some lovely examples of single malt whiskeys. I could use about half a bottle of the one aged in sherry casks right about now. I thought that stuff would hurt, since I've had erosion problems from too much coffee. Nope, nary a twitch of pain not any kind of gastric upset. Just numb lips. It was Glen something or other, 12 years old. I'll have to go looking for it.”

“This would probably be Glen Livvet 12y/o. I think Nigal shared some of it with me once. Smooth as sweet cream butter. Expensive but very good.”

“Nope, not Glen Livet. I wish I'd written down the name of it.”

“Glen Glengarioch?

That's what I love about good single malt is the fact you don't taste or feel the alcohol as much with other liquor. This lets all the other wonderful tastes come through.”

“I'm pretty sure it was Glenmorangie”

“I wanna try Glenugie just for the name.”

“Hmmm, I've been having an occasional scotch with my buddy when we enjoy a cigar. I just figured it was supposed to taste like alcohol. I guess I'll have to try some of the good stuff to see the difference now.”

“the only whiskey that ive ever enjoyed is not Scotch, but Irish: Bushnells or Jameson.”

“i want a shot so bad i can taste it.”

“dizzy - for yer own good - get off this thread!”

“doesn't matter, i have none. and no money either. i'm allowed the dream.”

“[img]“the only whiskey that ive ever enjoyed is not Scotch, but Irish: Bushnells or Jameson.”[/img]

I love Irish whiskey also. You owe it to yourself to buy a bottle of Michael Collins single malt. Unfrickinbelieveable!

”

“Not G;en Morangie. The label's wrong, and it was a 12 year whiskey, aged in sherry casks.”

“We did try glen Garioch. It started out like water and ended in a back of the mouth scorch, but didn't burn on the way down. Definitely don't exhale while sipping that stuff, though.”
