And do you know the differences between WhiskEY and WhiskY? The Whiskey (with EY) is Irish, and the ovens for the peat desiccation are "closed" and the smoke can't pass...This type is more "smooth" The Whisky is Scottish, and, in this case, the ovens are open, it's distilled twice, it tastes more "strong"... Wich one do you prefer...??? Hi to all from Italy...!!! Hi Alex21 and welcome. I thought the "strong" taste of whisky was depending also on the storage? I mean, even I don't like either whisky nor whiskey, I have found out that I can drink Glenfiddich and other 12 year old or older whisk(e)y's. They are very smooth. I enjoy them as much as an old cognac. "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me ID: 461057 ·

The Macallan is for me the best. Oak casks used for sherry gives it colour and flavour. Great scotch. The Spey Valley scotches will always have it for me. I did a tour and never got to the other end - sadly incapacitated and carried home by wife dearest who to this day never lets me forget it. She made it fine! Hi Fuzzy. The reason you like those scotches is because they are not blends I guess. Pure and not messed with. As for Irish Whiskey I am still practising with it and will let you know before the decade is out. But as my dad said once - forget the scotches, brandies and vodkas etc drink what the Chinese drink as that's all you will be able to get one day! Santay buddies! ID: 461154 ·

How about Canadian Club and Ginger Ale, that is my favorite at the moment. I have like Vodka and OJ, Vodka and OJ and Galliano, and Rum and Cokes in the past. And of course a beer once in a while is good for a change. ALL in moderation of course! Being an adult is more than being 'of age'. It involves being able to know when enough is enough. When one is 'tipsy' one has had too much, IMO. Perfectly good rum, orange juice readily available, and you go putting coke in it. ID: 461302 ·

I do have some of both here at home, hmmmmm, thinking maybe the kid won't mind if I sleep thru his sports stuff at oh dark thirty tomorrow morning. Maybe I could even drink it then! Oh the possibilities. Actually the other parents may not like the smell of Rum in the morning. Now Gin and Graprefruit Juice is good too, especially when it is blazing hot outside. ID: 461352 ·

I like the flavour more, it's a bit more robust I suppose. Yet still very smooth. My sister was oh so kind to bring a bottle of Gibson's Sterling back from Alberta with her. Very smooth, I love it. Also, from my last sampling, Glenlivet was simply amazing. Now, when I find the money, I think I shall find a bottle of The Glenlivet... Anyways, what is this nonsense of mixing even Crown Royal with Coke, or "Chasers"? If you are drinking something like Crown Royal then there should be no need to mix or chase it. Mixing or Chasing I could understand with paint thinner like Canadian Club... ID: 461431 ·

Have you ever tried Connemara? If this one was crafted without the smoke in it, I don't know hoe else they inserted that peaty aroma ;) Not my cup of tea, btw, but probably a good alternative for the Islay fans. ID: 461918 ·

BTW at oh dark thirty this AM I was on the lacrosse field with a good old diet caffeine free pepsi in my hand. I had already finished 2 cups of french vanilla dunkin donuts coffee. I buy it by the bag and brew it at home. COLD, let me tell you about COLD! A lacrosse field is just a bit bigger than a US football field and of course has no trees around to block any wind. My toes were downright COLD!!! But the kids Team won, they can in 3rd in their division, out of 5 Teams. They played 5 games and I am glad to be home. We crushed some Teams and didn't lose any game by more than 3 goals. Fun day, but COLD! ID: 462082 ·

One should NEVER get drunk on such gems. They should ONLY be mixed with ice. The Glenlivet was opened when the good man came back from a working trip to CHina, and the Glenfiddich shall remain unopened until his next return. How could I touch it without sharing a drop with him? ID: 462467 ·
