attn: chikken itza

So what kind of good scotch do you guys actually drink, cos I read a book with a US character in it and her favourite 'treat' was Glenfiddich. You wouldn't find me touching that with a bargepole

Yes, Glenfiddich 12 is a little plain, still better than any manner of blends and Cardhu for that matter

Glenfiddich 30 is quite lovely, actually.


My absolute favourite distillery is Highland Park, a close second is Port Ellen (silent, unfortunately)

Right now I have open bottles of both a Signatory bottling of a 13yo Highland Park, and a distillery bottling of Caol Ila 15.

Oh yes, and the ubiquitous Laphroaig 10, got a bottle of that open at the 'ranch.


Other favs:
Springbank any age
Glenmorangie 18
Lagavulin
St. Magdalene
Rosebank
Bowmore 30

I like Cardhu, have a little bit left, can't find it up here anymore for some reason.

Balvenie is tastey stuff.

And I suppose you don't do bargepoles either

there is no context in which I "do" bargepoles
nobody in the US uses that word which is why it struck me funny

Laphroaig is awesome, I do like the Bowmore too. You ever tried Ardbeg? They only recently re-opened the distillery but they make beautiful whisky.

Of course.

It's an English saying for "wouldn't go near" i.e. I wouldn't touch that massive dog with a bargepole.

omg really?

We all get it, no one says that in America. Unless you're 80 and have dentures.

I completely understood the meaning...it's just not used in the US

Now we say "iPod ear bud cord". It's a little clumsy but the effect is the same.

For example, I wouldn't touch Dharma's second clit with an iPod ear bud cord.

o i c. Well we still say it quite often Just like "what's that got to do with the price of fish?". I like that one.

I've only had a chance to try the younger Ardberg's, they were quite good, but I've not bought a bottle yet since the ones I like more were less expensive, or the same.

I guess we're still medieval and all. I do like old English sayings, they're quite cute.

Balvenie is tastey stuff.

I haven't seen it in a store around here in quite some time.

I tried it at the distillery itself

Most of it goes into Johnnie Walker

Edit - Cardhu that is, I've had a couple bottles of Balvenie. Their old 20yo bottling was fantastic

I think I had the 18 (or maybe 20?). I'm not really a whisky lover, but my dad instilled good whisky sense into me from a young age. I'm liking drinking straight rum at the moment though.

I want a beer kit but I'm more of a want it now instead of a few weeks kind of guy. I don't use our crock pot very much either because if I'm hungry I want to eat now instead of 6 hours.

However if I used the beer kit and then put it in storage with an alarm set on my phone that could work. Then one day I get a beep and look to see what's up and it could say "Surprise you have beer!" That would be nice.

My dad always said "What's that got to do with the price of tea in China?"

start a new batch every week so you have continuous turnover...if I had the space I'd give it a try...have any dead space at school?

heard that one from my mom a few times

That ones too much of a tongue twister for me, but yeah, always nice to hear sayings like that.
