54.2% !! How many drops of uisge will that require? 😉

Sounds great though. Uigeadail - 'dark and mysterious place' - may indeed be a treacly taste...?

It's a banger. Teaspoon and a half of water to open it up. It's was voted best whisky in the world a wee while back.
 
Not a whisky drinker myself, but I noticed the Holyrood distillery a couple of weeks ago with a pub close by called the whisky bar or something.Im assuming uts connected to the distillery. Apologies if its been mentioned but not reading all 15 pages 😁 Just wondering if anyone has tried their whiskys. It's up the road at the side of St Leonards Police station
 
About to insert a measure of Talisker Skye (45.8%) into ma salivatin gob.

With now domestically agreed hydro-addition guidelines (a wee glass I found wi lines horizontal on it so effectively drops can be inferred), adjusted for strength and mood.

Hope none o that made sense.

Hows the whisky going down?

As a non whisky drinker, love reading what the flavours are like.

Going down very nicely. Caramel, vanilla and oak.
Bourbon has a very narrow taste profile. Much as I like it. Scotch single malt has a far wider profile. You have Glenkinchie at one end, mild and floral, and Lagavulin or Laphroaig at the other, like being slapped in the face with a chunk of peat that has been roasted over a wood fire.

You should try bourbon. It's sweeter and more approachable than single malts. My brother and one of my best mates are big bourbon drinkers but not so fond of Scotch.

I used to get quite smashed on jacks, and got quite into gentleman jacks, and i had a wee bash recently of a limited edition 10year old. That was lovely, and almost a different drink. Thought of this thread at the time, as i like how tuned in the palate of whisky drinkers on here are.
 
Today’s treat - £39.50 for £29.50 with the Club Card. Never tried this one before.

My mate Mick was a wee bit drunk on Saturday up in the cask and barrel.

He bought a bottle of Highland Park and took it out of the bag to look at it. Before heading to mine.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 The arse fell out the box and the bottle smashed.

He eventually appeared with some French liqueur drink that had Barbados Rum as the main ingredient.

Only problem was he had bought it from a shoplifter and the security tag was still in place.

Luckily enough we managed to bypass that 😁

My local Tesco selling Glenfairn for £19.
It's a Speyside single malt and a steal at that price.( unless of course you do steal it and then £19 is expensive):53:

It's actually a very palatable dram ,quite sweet and enjoyable with a junk of ice.
 
Just had a nip out my infinity bottle.. Jesus Christ is amazing... sad part is that it's only a quarter Jack Daniels bottle full and this taste will change as i fill it... I'm not drinking anymore but I wish I could bottle this exact taste...it really is incredible with a real long finish
