Daweii Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Can't go wrong with any of the Japanese Whiskies I've found. My favourite Whisky is 'Hibiki' and likely will be for some time, but 'Yamazaki' is great too.. 'Coffey Malt' is a very fun one for me thanks to the caramel, but Japan are killing it in the Whisky world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Just tried 'the haig club' which the missus sister got me for xmas. Its absolutely grim. On the nose - It smells like a mix of Gin, Vodka and old spice. On the palate - It starts with a watered down whisky flavour before floral gin notes take over. Finish - Imagine using the aforementioned old spice as mouthwash. Grim. The price of this is an absolute disgrace. Avoid.

I can't recommend Japanese whisky enough for anyone that hasn't tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted December 25, 2017 Moderator Share Posted December 25, 2017 So far... Chilean Merlot Champagne Some more fizzy stuff from Alsace Too stuffed right now for cheese so the port will have to wait until later so I'm torn between a Shiraz or a G&T, veering rapidly towards the G&T except I'll need the kitchen and that's currently got a cleaning operation going on and I wouldn't be welcome (it's too small) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
