To be fair they're talking about American whishy, which is abysmal and drunk only by girls and Americans.

Proper Scotch now, there's a different story A fine malt is like an Angel's kiss.

No - proper Bourbon is almost as good as a single malt, and MUCH better that any Scotch blend.

No Malt, no party!

And that cometh from a German, does it not.

Care to read, of course only if it is not too much trouble, my views on alcohol.

As a German, and I am sure most of the Forum mebers are British and aware of both me being an alien and how specific Germans are when it comes to alcoholic beverages,  I do pride myself in sampling different tastes.

As a beer there is nothing better than the attempt of the local Stewart brewery at German Hefeweizen. For the daily "wash" I go for Foster's and the occasional Innis and Gunn. For stronger beverages I strongly advocate Malt ONLY! My favourites are Cragganmore, Talisker and Miltonduff.

Although I have experience with Gin, Vodka, Cherry and others I will always come back to bonny Scotland's produce.

I even developed the theory that this is the only reason why the English refuse Scotland independence. Well that AND the enourmous tax contributions.

Yep - absolutely agree with you, Ian  8)

And yes to you all on whisky: to quote (again) a great line from Whitechapel (DS Mills), when suggesting that his boss (DCI Chandler) apologises to him, "I like Single Malts, none of that blended sh*t"



Watch from 14m 25s...

:D :d ;D

If you've not watched these, they're superb...go back to Episode 1 though (this is E2)

If that's what you think of it, you're the one who started about washing  :P :P :P

And washing your tongue is important!!

Drinking 12 year old Balvenie as I read this.

Slumming it.

Normally I'd go for Islay malts.

Preferably something like Ardbeg Uigeadail on the grounds I can't afford Ardbeg "Lord of the Isles" :(

Drink enough of the stuff and you'll end up looking like this. And that's just the external damage.
