Talking about Whisky

[Dave2002]

I have heard from somewhere, that whisky is rather good for you!! :)

In moderation, perhaps. Otherwise it definitely isn't.

[BBMmk2]

Well, yes ofcourse

[Dave2002]

Well, yes of course

Don't want to give the impression that we're all a load of old soaks, do we?

Certainly not!


Perhaps young, or middle aged soaks...

You perhaps remember an earlier thread of mine, started innocently, with the heading "Old alcoholic drinks". I was actually trying to find out whether it was safe to drink, or at least taste/sample, some old bottles/cans of wine,beer or spirits - but the ambiguity, which I'd failed to notice, was not lost on some round here!

I be interested to hear members opinions about Canadian Club?

Have decided to have a time-out and get off the wagon for a short while. Bought some Teacher's at the duty free in Stansted. Plastic bottle! Apparently, it doesn't make any difference - we'll see!

Shame about the weather and the view...

HeHe! I suppose life has its compensations

Johnny Walker Black is £30 a litre bottle in the local supermarket, which is quite a good price. So If the Teacher's doesn't work out..........

Now, I hate to be a party-pooper but heed these immortal words of wisdom, fellow-members!

Today I have done a bottle of White Horse (I'm on holiday, after all!). It was dearer than VAT 69, but cheaper than JW Black.

I found it a bit 'perfumey" and lacking in body.

Many people have extolled the virtues of White Horse. This was my first bottle, and my last.




P.S. As a teenager I sampled most of the blended whiskies (didn't know about single malts back then) and this must've been one of them.

My previously high regard for this poet suffered a dip on seeing "Thou causeth the mother to neglect her child" but revived at

The man that gets drunk is little else than a fool,
And is in the habit, no doubt, of advocating for Home Rule.

I would still like to hear boarders' opinions of Canadian Club, please.
