Glenfiddich

you know this how?

Well, I did say it tastes like shit earlier.

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.

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

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?

FFS... as the Deuce said, 18yrs in the barrel, stops aging when bottled that bottle of yours was proberly stilled early to mid 90's... you dont bloody fuck with it, straight up or mabe on a couple a rocks

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.

yeah mate... bloody Irish shit, what those spud munchers know bout whisky

...it's just whisky...

your just a hippy

Philistines....Glenny is to be enjoyed with ice and good company only.

Philistine! Why water whisky down with ice? That's not how God intended it to be, or it would come pre-watered.

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.
