Just came back from Cyprus for the summer hols baught myself a bottle of Wild Turkey and a bottle of Jackie D.Now I consider the wild turkey far smoother then J.D. anyone reccomend another to me tried Jim beam wernt impressed.

Hmm not surprised thats what you get when you drink whisky NOT made in Scotland

Single Highland malts plz, Isley or Orkney!

:-)

Jim Beam and Jack Daniels turned me into a Wild Turkey........
:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
Now it's Earl Grey, and Chock Full of Nuts........

Isley or Orkney are the only way to go!

My police officer brother -in -law introduced me to those fellas and now bourbon tastes like mouth wash to me!

Ah, yes, real scotch and sitting in Rogers kitchen telling cop and fireman war stories

My sister and wife think we are nutz, but they don't like scotch!

Cheers

sorry.i'm a single malt man myself.i don't even know if you can call bourbon whisky when you compare it to a single malt.don't worry i'm prepared for the abuse that will surely follow.

Now if we are talking Scotch....single malts of course...

Glen Grant...
not the old one, but the 7 year old. A very light and palatable dram with a nice nutty flavour.

Dalwinnie...
A really smooth delicious one.

Balvennie...
Old Pulteny...
Highland Park...
Oban...
Linkwood...
McCallum..
Oban...
Glen Kinnchie...
And if you like it smokey
Lafroiage...
Glen Ferclass...
Ardbeg...
All highly recommended

There are many I have tried but happily there are far more I have yet to try...lucky old me.

Chheers...I don't mind if I do...

The king of Whisky's:

The Macallan

Ain't no better, just ask Michael Jackson (not the singer...), If you got the money, go for the 18 or 30 years. If you tasted that, then you'll know what whisky is and should be...

For those of us poor colonials who can't afford those 18.00USD-a-shot single malts, I highly recommend Black Bush. Like warm Honey on the way down, with a finishing implosion that hollows out your insides very gently. From the oldest continually operating Distillery in the world, still using the original casks...Oh, I may have to leave work early now...

I know im goining to get some incoming but I cannot stand the smell or taste of Scotch,I got totally bladdered on it once in my youth now the smell makes me want to throw but I can handle a drop of Bourbon.

Easy_Co, I'm not sure if these count as Bourbons but my Dad, who did like bourbon, really liked Canadian Club or Seagram's 7. The couple times I've tried them I liked them also.

Lagavullin 16 years....It's a Islay single malt, with lots of character, and a HUGE finish!! It's my all time favourite, specially for the wet, dark and cold autumn and winter nights!!

Just my two cents, John.

I'll stick to a good old German Pilsner and the only drink to come out of the British Isles------tea.

Hi Robert. have to agree with you on the black bush. Im not a whiskey fan at all, but there is 2 whiskys I could drink. Black bush being one, and Jameson redbreast. The later is even better, very mild, but still affordable.
Im more of a vodka and coke man, meself! JD and coke goes down OK and southern comfort and coke used to, until I got a sickner of it.

The same thing happened to me...got mickey finned on Walkers Red Label...
took me years to get round to liking it...20 years. Then someone offered me a glass of Glen Morangie...after that no stopping me.

Keep at it...lol.

Cheers

Back to Bourbons

I really like Makers Mark, sort of a premium Bourbon if such a thing exists.
But I like jim Beam for everyday consumption so my tastes might not match with yours.

There is a higher grade Jack Daniels called Gentleman Jack that is supposed to be pretty smooth, I've not tried it.

hmmm a scouting trip to the liquor store after the hobby shop might be in order..

Years ago I had some Irish drinking partners who at the end of a night liked to finish with Blackbush,a good dash of hot water and a few cloves in the mix.If my memory is correct the original 'hot toddy' .Personally I prefered the Blackbush straight but for a bourbon I drink Jim Bean, I find JD too syrupy if thats the right expression.
