Favourite Whisky?

[caskwith]

just interested to see what people's favourite whisky's are, mine is either Glemorangie 10yr old or Bushmills single malt. i tend to like non-peaty fresh, clean tasting whisky's, got a bottle of Bowmore Islay whisky in my cellar, worth at least £40 and i cant stand it, awful stuff, tastes like petrol.

anyway looking forward to here about your favourites and why you like them.

Send your Petrol this way. My favorite so far (and I only have a few years behind me) is Bowmore Darkest.

Its hard to say what my favorite whiskey is. Easier if you specify what type: Bourbon, Scotch, Irish, Tennesee, etc.

If I had to chose my overall favorite, it would be Glenmorangie 15 Year Old. Best whiskey I've ever tasted.

Old #7 Black label is the one I always go back to.

The Irish would be either Jameson 1780 or Redbreast, Kilbeggan for Irish coffee. Powers gold label for an everyday Irish. Black Bush is a favorite too.

Gentlemen Jack to sip and chat with friends. Many fine single barrels, Jack, Evan Williams 95 and 96. 1792 Ridgemont is excellent as well. Elijah Craig is very a good value. Makers Mark among a host of others.

Not much on scotch but I do like the Johnnie Walker Black.

Where do I start? Whenever I don't have money, my favourite is J&B. Whenever I have a guest, my favourite is Chivas Regal, Glenlivet, or Glenfiddich a (please don't hate me). Whenever I go to a bar, my favourite is Glenmorangie 10. Whenever I have money, Its The Macallan 21 or Glenmorangie Madeira.

Makers Mark or Crown Royal

i wont judge you for liking glenfiddich, they do make the havana reserve which is bloody amazing, its also dirt cheap over here :P
ill also go with you on the madeira finish its really nice, as is the burgundy and port. the sherry finish however is absolutely awful, its so bad that over here its on special offer making a 1litre bottle of sherry finish cheaper than a 70cl bottle of 10yr old!!! thats how bad it is, if you ever try it i draw your attention to the subtle underones of vomit/parmesan cheese (honestly im not joking, the first time it tried the bottle my gf turned around and said i can smell vomit, lol )

Johnnie Walker Green is my "everyday" and "staple" whiskey. I use to be a single malt fan, but blends I prefer the last few years. For US stuff, I like Woodfords Reserve.

[cigar_040]

Crown Royal, Makers Mark, and Knob Creek

I'm afraid its too late. I already have an open bottle sitting at home. You are right. Its the only whisky that doesn't want to taste like whisky. I guess curiosity got the best out of me.

American whiskey . Rip Van Winkle makes a 12 year and 15 year bourbon that is excellent. Makers Mark is my "budget" whiskey.
