The Glenlivet, age 18

[WilliamPitt]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

[GOPisEvil]

1. I knew a man once who did not drink any liquor that was not of voting age.

A wise man, indeed.

[HEyHEY]

2. Glenmorangie - Port wood finish - 12 year

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[salinen]

3. Man

the thought makes my nostril hairs erect.

[HEyHEY]

4. Exaclty - cause your nose is turned on

Good scotch tend to do that

[bubblesby2002]

5. Single malts.......

Nectar of the gods. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Favourite right now: Aberlour A'bunadh - so tasty - sherry finish

[HEyHEY]

9. I can't stand the sherry finish

I don't know why. If we ever do get a gathering going in Vancouver - it'll be at the "Shebeen" 131 kinds of whiskey!

Everything from $40 and ounce scotch to Canadian club

[bubblesby2002]

22. Oh if you ever get to Victoria....

I'll take you to the Officers' Mess at the Bay Street armoury. There's 110 different single malts. Some you can't get here, they come from the Scottish Single Malt Society in Edinburgh. I'm sure there will be something to your taste.

But jeez, that Shebeen place sounds alright too. Any ideas about a gathering?

6. It's no Crown Royal

if it doesn't come in a bag, I don't drink it.

[HEyHEY]

7. Are you serious?

Crown Royal is crap compared to what he's describing. Unless you buy the expensive crown.
Anyway...... I don't drink wine unless it comes in a box so...

[rucky]

11. never. n/t

[greatauntoftriplets]

8. Jameson's.

n/t

[HEyHEY]

10. HERE HERE!

Wish I had some now, but the local liqour store doesn't sell Jameson - only Tullamore Dew..I like Tull but Jameson is my fav.

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. Perhaps you should move closer to a good liquor store.....

:shrug:

A friend REALLY likes Chopin vodka and lives in a city with less well-stocked liquor stores than I enjoy. When he first went to buy it, had to go to a liquor store that he said looked like target practice for hold-ups.

He went into the store and asked about it. The clerk said "Oh!!!! Cho-pan vodka! Yeah, we got it..."

After my friend picked himself up off the floor and stifled his laughter, he bought the "Cho-pan" and quickly became a devotee.

[rucky]

14. I have an Irish Whiskey diploma

from the Jameson's distillery in Dublin.

I put it on my resume to see if anybody would ask me about it :)

[HEyHEY]

15. Has anyone?

[rucky]

17. not yet

then again, I haven't had to pass my resume around too much fortunately.

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. WOW!!!!

Congratulations....

:wow:

Does anyone ask about it?

[Amaya]

12. Are you going to be stingy?

I'd like a little :beer:

[WilliamPitt]

13. Sharing is always best.

:)

[VelmaD]

19. Nice to see you passed "sharing"...

in kindergarten.

Set me up baybee. It's laundry night and I need a drink.

[WilliamPitt]

20. Drunk laundry. Eeeeeeexcellent.

Whazz the diff'rnce b'tween bleach and Tide? Fukkit! *splash* Wheeeee!

[VelmaD]

21. *snort*

The really good part about being a girl...if I accidentally turn all my clothes pink no one will notice. ;)

[TheWizardOfMudd]

23. Oh, Baby

Ain't nothin' better in the universe, except for the 25 year old.

Glenlivet is the best Scotch this side of the Motari Nebula.

[sundog]

24. GlenLivet -- ick -- Chivas, mon

--

[WilliamPitt]

25. Yeh

Depends on the age, tho.

[sundog]

26. ok -- 18 -- no prob - I need it about now :)

[Spider Jerusalem]

27. I think my preference is for Johnnie Walker Blue Label...

there's more complexity and character in a well-crafted blend than a single-malt, because the flavour notes of the different malts play against each other. Think I'd take Johnnie Blue over most single-malts I've had.

[WilliamPitt]

29. Never had the Blue

Isn't it like $30 a glass?

[VelmaD]

31. Wow. That really puts...

$2.00 a gallon gasoline in perspective, don't it? :)

[Spider Jerusalem]

32. Yeah...

and about $165-200 a fifth...worth the thirty or so bucks for a glass if you have something to celebrate, though (and it goes quite excellently with a good cigar, too).

The stuff is aged 25 years, and some of the malts in the blend (there are 16) are up to 60 years old. Think they only produce a few thousand or so bottles a year (every bottle has a serial number).

[Bolo Boffin]

28. Aberlour a'bundahr

120 proof, straight from the cask, no cold filtering...

Liquid toffee, heavenly aroma...it's what other Scotchs want to be when they grow up.

[Paragon]

30. Zima, baby.

It's like there's a party in my mouth, and everyone's invited!

/griffey


No, I don't actually drink it.
