Whisky of choice

[N-dubya]

The thread on tea of choice inspired me and seeing as it's nearly Christmas...

I would like to know what are you favourite drams.

Here are some of mine ( Oz Clarke mode ).

Speyside : light and fruity with notes of sherry.

La phroaig : peaty, smokey sweet, long finish

Bowmore : very similiar to above but more subtle.

Jura : nice and gentle a good intro single malt, but after some of the above a bit placid

Talisker : didn't like this much too harsh

i've tried others but can't rememeber the names

[Witton Park]

Highland Park.

Scapa

Used to drink JD lots as a kid and as a result can't stand the smell of any hard liquor, it all just smells of alcohol to me, and knocks me sick.

Having said that, IDP shared a drop with me that I tried out of politeness if I'm honest, but really enjoyed it. Some Irish single malt. Any ideas Ian?

off the top of my head no

quite like Jura

[Rodders]

Macallan 10 yrs single malt. If times are hard, then Bells. If I'm Flush, Chevas 12 hits the spot.

Probably Connemara...very nice, or Red Breast.

Bunnahabhain is a particular fave of mine.

Jura
Talisker
Highland Park

I know next to nothing about whisky but have certainly tried a few and those hit the spot every time.

Highland Park
Ardbeg

Also recommended reading - Iain Banks, "In Search of the Perfect Whisky" (or similar) for more inspiration, should that be required!

Jura
Old Pulteney - it's got a salty tang to it, bit of an acquired taste, but I like it.
