I already knew you are a dopey bastard but mixing pepsi with whisky is whole new level of retard. Glenfidich 15yr solera is the best smoothest whisky i have tried. The 12 yr isnt bad either.

DO NOT RUIN WHISKY by placing ice,water, or any other shitte in it ( especially North Island water which is apparently shit flavoured at the moment).
True, Single malts (made from single grains) are ballpark made in Scotland whisky (note Irish is spelt Whiskey and non malted) comes from different areas, Speyside (generally smoother ones), Highland ( the good rich ones), Islay (the coastal flavour -saltier variety), and Island a bit of coastal and smokier) of course there are variables.
The people who comment Glenditch (or whatever) is best!, be reminded that like motorcycles there are different batches in that same manufacturer ( happens with band gear brands too,... people who know jack). Example; a Yammy 100 is never going to be as good as an XJR, nor a 12 year old XJR with a 15 year old XJR...you choose...same goes with whisky.
The making process mostly determined by the regurgitation in the stills, less the grain,water, peat used,then age process in barrels (oak-sherry-both) and storage conditions can result in a good or bad batch. On release from the home of theiving angels depends on where the whiskey has been siphoned from-the part of the barrel, its quite complex and a tester/taster blender person is employed to do this ( what a job).
So variable factors to get a same Glenwanker 12 YO from following batchs is difficult, hence a Glen 12 from 1980 will be different to what is on the shelf today albeit they try get it consistent. Example why some good ones are ridiculously pricey, as say from a batch of 1000 bottles of primo whisky, over time most will be imbibed as it should, what remains is in collections and/or traded as rare bumping the price/value up.
Unfortunate the common ones pawned by liqour outlets on special are not great and put you off for life (avoid red label, drumguish, fettercairn, etc). Even good ones can be flawed with sulpur, subject to the "decoy bottle" or used to clear your neighborhood drains ( being tightfisted scottish probally drink it under duress with ice-water, fizz lol).
And until one gets over the burn of whisky ( achieved by drinking it for a fortnight) one cannot find the true hidden flavours and delights in the water of life (or not).
SCOTCH, is a blend of whisky where lower grade single malts are blended with single grains to get the consistent finish you expect to get with your favourite drop.
My favourites ( to right of wheel) are blends over single malts, its all a matter of taste, some of the cheaper ones are better than the dearer ones. The Jim Murray bible is well worth having if you want to collect whisky.
My preference for scotchs are Johnnie Walker Black, Teachers Highland Cream, Fat Trout, Highland Park 12, Banknote, Black Grouse, Isle of Skye. ( All reasonably priced).
Single malt can't beat The Glenlivet 12 but has been discontinued and its replacement not as good.
Highland...Dalwhinnie 15, and Glenmorangie.
Irish whiskey Redbreast, Bushmills Black Bush.
Indian yes...some of the best whisky made these days, Amrut Indian and Fusion are must trys.
New Zealand favourite is not peat smoked but manuka smoked by Thomson is called " Progress report"...very nice.
Good deals if shopping on line from Whiskyandmore ;)

Not rich by any means but I have my annual bottle of Moet in the fridge for this coming festive season, along with a bottle of Duetz and four bottles of Rose'. A box of Stella Artois finishes this years collecting. There may be some Port and Appleton's laying about as well.

This was last night, not "right now", but whatever ...
The Wife has some skin complaint and read somewhere (Dr Google + "natural health" leanings) that soaking her hand in Stout would help. So when I was at the supermarket I picked up some Guinness. I like some Stout, but hate Guiness, but this was the only Stout I could see, so, whatever.
$20 for a six pack. (That's a lot for beer, to me; but cheaper than some of her "natural" health remedies and supplements ...)
Then it turned out I'd screwed up and it was actually Guinness Draft. Meanwhile she'd dropped the idea anyway.
So I got to drink some fairly average, very expensive beer. Woo hoo.

Monteith's Original Ale.
I used to drink Monteiths way back in the day (like 35 years ago) when it really was 'the original' (and only) and was really hoppy. None of my mates liked it. It wasn't the best beer around but the advantage was that I knew I could leave my half dozen bottles by the wall unguarded at any party and no other prick would touch it.

Funny you should say that. I've just been offered some fermented breast milk. I hoped it was "cask brewed" and said so, gawjus casks.... But no, no nip off the nipple, it's bottled.
Tomorrow night could be a real eye opener. I secretly hope the casks are exposed later in the evening. Hope is not a strong enough word but it was easy to type.

ffffuuuuuuuck me townies get some shit meat. supermarket in auckland (sack'n'slave) pale and sick looking in plastic.
Well we can't all just go and shoot one of the neighbours sheep. Besides the town is spreading out past here and the sheep have been replaced by houses. Can still hear the stags on the nearest deer farm though. Maybe I should shoot one of them? :whistle:
Must check which vinho tinto goes with venison? :sherlock:

Pay rise and job offer this week so I'm celebrating a bit. A Panhead Vandal to start, could possibly have pushed Epic Armageddon from my top spot, and then after a couple of nondescript red wines I am on to a 17 year old Scot from Aberlour. Very smooth, like a 17 year old should be.
And I think that better be my last post tonight.

We get Asahi Dry here now, God knows where it's brewed, but I haven't seen any feminine packaging like that.
The last Peroni I bought was brewed in South Australia rather than Italy.
On checking I see that the bottles currently cooling in the fridge were actually "brewed and bottled in Mexico" which was a pleasant surprise. I'd have assumed they came from the Khyber Pass. No, not the one connecting Afghanistan and Pakistan, the Auckland one.

When my home wine supply is getting down a bit there are two main types of bottle remaining: ones with corks, and pinot noir. I'm not a particular fan of pinot and since it usually carries a premium price I normally don't bother, sometimes though it comes in mixed dozens. For a year or two I had been avoiding a Tasmanian pinot because
a) it's pinot and
b) Tasmania?
It turned out to be as nice a pinot as i've ever had. Riversdale Estate, Centaurus, from the Coal River Valey. None of which I've ever heard of, but which I will remember kindly. There is apparently a major radio telescope near the vinyard and the wine is named after a constellation. Who knew?

There was a guy came to NZ all the way from Grant's distillery to tell us how to drink the stuff. He said to add 1/4 to 1/3 the volume of water. Drunk straight the whisky overpowers the palate. Adding a little water makes it so you can taste it and it releases the bouquet. He also said never add ice, that just makes the initial problem worse.
Akzle
31st May 2017, 14:02
quite fucking right. whiskey should be watered between 5:1 and 3:1 to expand the aromatics. ice is a no-no as that wil lock up the flavours and then dilute more and more as it melts. any other "mixer" is for shit liqour or teenagers. typically shoot for 32% in the glass.
same as absynthe. usually 5:1 or greater. ideally get it down to 13-20%

PANHEAD Port Road Pils
Recommended on KB many pages back. I've been enjoying it.
I usually buy Tuarura. They were bought out by one of the big names a while back. Packing has changed - it was better graphics before. And despite the new owners assurance that nothing will change, I feel it does not taste as good.
It may be just me reacting to the big dog owner and new colours, I don't know.
