Glenfiddich

[Maha]

I have a bottle of 18 year old Glenfiddich (well it's now 19) and I am not a Whiskey drinker. We have thought (and will probably do it) of using it to make Baileys. Would it be heathenish to drink it with L&P as a mixer? I don't like it neat/with water or on the rocks, though could be tempted with ice added. How say the connoisseurs of such a fine tot?

[unstuck]

Evil evil stuff that is.:eek:

[caseye]

Mate, tell me to come get rid of it for you and I WILL. It is bad stuff and you! shouldn't do anything with it.
Make the nice creamy drink buddy, it will be the smoothest Baileys anyone's seen in a coons age.

...and Baileys is so damn nice, maybe it will become a Scottish/Irish creamy mix for those 'soon to be evening's spent on the deck' :niceone:

[skippa1]

Ive got some moss on the path that wont spray and walk away......your tipple would do it. I would filter it through my kidneys and spray it through the meat hose onto the path:eek:

[jasonu]

Why don't you simply swap it for some Baileys? I'm sure you would be able to find plenty of takers here on Kiwi Boozer.

Yeah, having it with L&P and ice would make it drinkable.

I'll swap you for some coffee, cream and dog piss, mix that together and you have some good baleys right there

I disagree. I have done shit on Glenfiddich that I would not have done on say a Jeffersons 10 or a Redbreast.:devil2:

I got it Xmas 2013 so just over a year ago, a mate said ''fuck it wont see 19'' but unfortunately it has, now into it's 20th year. A few good suggestions here but I think turning most of it into Home made Baileys might be the answer, that way we'll certainly get to enjoy it.

Whisky doesn't age in the bottle. It ages in the cask and when the taster gets the notes he's after it is bottled and sold. Don't mix single malt. Don't drink it with ice unless you want to be melvined by the Whiskey Defence League at a socially inappropriate moment. If you must add anything, some say a few mls of water will release a more flavourful initial hit, but it's the multiple after notes that are the most enjoyable. Don't gulp it, sip it and let it glide over your tongue and then experience the aftermath.

[James Deuce]

Those who want to use mixers, there are plenty of whiskeys available for you to use from a choice of continents. I am willing to swap your whisky for some whiskey.

[James Deuce]

Age is also no guarantee of quality. There are many 10 year old whiskys that are preferred to their more aged siblings.

over ice ... the ice locks the flavour initially then releases it as it melts ...
personally, I prefer Baileys :)

I must be getting old. I used to think just like this. Now I say it's your Whisky, do what you like with it, after all I offered a particularly good single malt to my FIL one time and he ended up polishing off the bottle in one sitting after everyone else had gone to bed. Not to savour it, mind, just to get trolleyed asap.

So if, you want to make baileys with it, or use it as aftershave or even for that final rinse after cleaning the toilet, I say have at it and enjoy.

I could probably sip a neat dram of the grain, despite being a drinker of the grape. We will probably mix up a bit, and save a bit to share.

There's nothing wrong with a drop of water in it, that's why they have jugs of water on the bar in pubs throughout Scotland. Some say the water should come from the same source as the whisky but that really is getting wanky.

I spent seven years living in the Grampians researching Speyside whisky but still haven't made my mind up as to which is my favourite. Still trying though. If I had a bottle of something I didn't like I would give it to someone who would enjoy it rather than ruin it making something else and then come up with another drink I didn't like.

In this case though I would keep the bottle for another couple of years because a 21 year old whisky is worth much more than an 18 year old of the same type.

the aftermath is violent vomiting, a bit of sharting. a LOT of shouting, bit of the old domestic violence, and, in extreme cases, burning the house down.

The very first time I got shitfaced drunk age 15 was on stolen whisky. NOw, 30+ years later the smell of it still makes me retch. Talk about your pavlovian condtiioning.

...this ^...if people are getting precious over a bottle of Glenfiddich then they really have not got the taste for seriously mentionable whiskeys...more palate reseach required...in saying this, tastes vary from tongue to tongue...

7 years researching and you think keeping an 18 yr old whisky for another couple of years makes it a 21 yr old whisky.

Love to see all the rest of your research!!!!

.....agree, I don't see what all the fuss is about when it comes to this particular plonk (hence it's still in the bottle) More than willing to swap or turn it into something more creamy.

[James Deuce]

Use that 12 yo Glenfiddich as a mixer and get some Solera Reserve to replace it. Then you can come off the list.

Goodness me, how can we have such similar stories. Mine involved wagging school, skulling voddies and rocking out to Uriah Heap :headbang:
Thought having a swim was a fabby idea, fell down a flight of stairs breaking a toe in the process. Peeled off all my clothes :o and skinny dipping in the pool. Problem there was I could not manage the swimming motion so sank like a stone. Got rescued and spent god knows how much time bent over hurling pool water/booze and bile over into the neighbours back yard. Did I mention I was also naked :facepalm: Still cant drink a Vodka 40 years later :D

There's nothing wrong with a drop of water in it,

Some years ago there was a guy came to this country from Grants and he was interviewed on the TV news about how to best serve his company's products. He said not to serve it straight, it overpowers the palate. He counselled against ice, in addition to the "overpowering" factor the ice anaesthetises your taste buds.

His recommendation was that you should add about 25% water which enables the bouquet to develop and the tastebuds to operate effectively.

Only the careless rich would pour fizz into a single malt but IIRC the OP got his for nowt so...

Having written all that I confess I have used a single malt in a syllabub and poured it on berries in my desert. Sue me :innocent:
