Scotch & Dry

[Donor]

...why the hell have I been drinking beer all these years, and missing out on what is good and right in the world?

Mr Walker is my new friend.

Cheers!

Glenfiddich an Gingerale equal portions on the rocks.

Ah, James and I still have a mutual respect, but Mr Walker has a special appeal right now... and who am I to deny my feelings?

Alas, I make do with that which the fates serve me... *sigh*

Welcome to the fold....

Glenfiddich is by far better than JW. Try the 18yo, real nice

Got to take it easy, if the breweries find out I am serious about the beer reduction, they may send The Boys(tm) round...

Mate, it is a shame to spoil a good Scotch Whiskey with anything other than ice. However when I drink the blended stuff, I do prefer American Ginger ale. It's a bit sweeter than the standard Dry Ginger, but not as sweet as lemonade.

Glad to hear you have entered the civilised world. You will also loose a bit of weight too!

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

Yum. I used to drink way to much of that. I could never go back to it now, or I would never stop. sigh.

Ah... maybe one day I'll be brave enough to try just ice, but for now, dry ginger ale and a couple of cubes will suffice... til I get off my training wheels!

Again, til I know what I like, I'll let others make it for me... but have often thought of making me own spirits... have a friend that does this, and have spent many a night in his company testing brews... well, as far as I can remember I have anyway...

But make sure the wife doesn't find out.

Scotch Whisky. Whiskey is from Ireland.

All whisky is Scotch whether it's a blended whisky or a fine single malt.

And the only way to drink a single malt is at room temperature with a dash of still water...sheesh...next you'll be telling me you cook oysters...what? Oh, you do?..as you were...thought this was New Zealand, not philistine.

Well said YD although I'd go one step further and say it's a shame to spoil a good single malt with anything at all.

If you get into it Donor old mate, try a small neat glen farchlas 105 cask strength or Laphroig, the former is like drinking a liquid log burner and the latter is like drinking landslip. Doesn't sound too appealing I know but they are amazing drinking experiences, a whisky drinkers tipple nirvana IMO.

P.S. I still drink beer and wine but for a special taste explosion in a glass try some good single malts, a cultured emergency services gentleman such as yourself deserves the best.
