?????????? Scotch Whiskey

Whiskey is Irish

Whisky is Scottish

Scotch is American slang for Whisky.

Canadian club (sort of a Canadian whiskey)

Coming from Canada...Should that be wiskey or wisky then?

Noooooooooooooooooo! Gahh! Thud.

Was waiting for the "Wellington malt whisky garage evening " crowd to step in....

And yes, the bottle of Bunnahabhain Islay I just opened is nice!

Hopefully without the addition of ice or ginger ale.

I do enjoy a good Whisky (thread). Neither chilled, watered or fizzed.
In saying that, Some of those liquid road sploodges (ooops, I mean wonderful 24yo single malts from places that no-one but a cold-choked Hebridean can pronounce) are an acquired taste. The acquisition of which so far eludes me.

Poor lad. Next time you're around these parts with time for a Couple Of Quiets Of An Evening(TM), please let me know and I will introduce you to The Cupboard, a place whose whereabouts is known only to a Select Few.

Road sploodge indeed.

Distill and filter your own spirits. It's much much cleaner and smoother than the two-stroke mix you buy from the wholesalers.

Many people dedicate their life to making good Whisky and its far superior to anything that someone could make at home.

If you want great whisky - put your hand deeper into your pocket and buy the good stuff - not the $12.95 bottle that indeed does taste like two-stroke.

Making it at home can be rewarding and fun - but enjoy it for the process and the personal achievement - but know it will never be as good as the very good stuff made by 'the masters'.

I partook of a rare dram once called 'The Shiver' .I'm guessing your Shiver leaves a better aftertaste.

I Googled 'The cupboard' and it came back, see; Holy grail + select few + Hitchers house + nights Templar. It's nice to share you know

Got to agree with the "drop of water" theme. Ice melts and changes the flavour as you go - but a wee drappie of water actually exposes all the flavours in a single malt and they stay the same to the bottom of the glass

It's like an expertly set graphic equaliser to music opens the music up fully so does water for your wee dram!

I use to avoid the water cos I (wrongly) thought it was about diluting - actually it's about awakening the whisky.

IMHO
