trekka Posted September 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Same. A quality single malt is best enjoyed neat or perhaps with one round ice cube or a splash of water. I like to take my time over it and savour every drop. Cheap blended stuff is best drowned with a mixer and gulped! You simply cannot beat a nice single malt. I've visited most of the distilleries of Scotland and I still go back to 12 year old Glenfiddich (it's not the best apparently) and yet it's my favourite poured over a glass full of ice (a big no-no so they say) . I could sip a glass of that stuff for hours. I highly recommend doing a whiskey tour of Scotland as it's simply fantastic. Every distillery you visit, you'll be greeted with a dram (or two) and talked through the history of how it has been made through generations of the family. I was a huge fan of Glenfiddich before visiting the distillery in Dufftown but the place simply blew me away. From opening up casks a hundred years old to giving you drams of all of their commercial whiskys - all of which is complimentary. Visiting Glenlivet is nice too . Now I just need to get into Japanese whiskys... Edited September 25, 2015 by trekka 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visiting Glenlivet is nice too My favourite Glenfiddich is the 15yo 'Distiller's Edition'. At 51% it has all those over-ripe apple and pear flavours of the 12yo but just more intense. The Glenlivet 18yo is one of my favourites too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Glenlivet 18yo is one of my favourites too. The Distiller's Edition is sublime. I bought a bottle as a special gift to myself from Dufftown a few years ago (only paid £30 too ). A little tip if visiting distilleries is to go with someone who isn't driving (and doesn't particularly like whisky). At Glenfiddich for instance I had 6 drams (completely complimentary ).

Xela Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Despite owning a bottle of it, i'm not a huge fan of Glenfiddich. Bit too 'fruity' for me. I tend to gravitate towards more smoky drams like a Bowmore or Talisker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Courtesy of the Polish section of the corner shop. Perla Honey 6%, £1.49. It's surprisingly sweet, but works for me. Outstanding for the punch and price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Perła is an average Polish beer to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I like it, but since you say that, perhaps the budget will stretch to £1.70 for the next mystery bottle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I really like Żubr but people will say it's shit.The standard Tyskie/Żywiec fair you get in most bars satisfies me anyway.Don't ever buy Tatra, it's filth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Not seen the Tatra. The others are down there, both as tins and bottles. A couple of dark ones too.Got a bottle of Tyskie in the fridge, it's the cheapest one iirc. £1.39.Generally they're good and compare well to the more expensive German and Czech gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I had citra last night, can't remember what it tasted like because I drank 5 other types of ale, but they were all nice I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Had a fruity/zesty taste to it. Not everyones cup of tea but I liked it. I'm liking Purity Brewery at the moment.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
