Glenmorangie is my preferred tipple (it's a single malt). Though also do like Glenfiddich and Crown Royal (Canadian Whisky)

This is my favourite.

But I will drink almost anything with alcohol in it . Laphroaig probably my least favourite of those I've tried .

I used to drink Glenfiddich back in the 80's when it was an unblended single. Then it went down hill and became a bit rough so I moved to Bells for a while as it was cheaper.

Then I stopped drinking the stuff until 10 years ago when I got a promotional Aberlour miniature with the promise of a full sized bottle after a 10 year wait. So I waited 10 years, without drinking any spirits, and last month started to enjoy my free bottle.

I like Irish, or a full-on peaty single malt. I currently have a bottle of Laphroaig that's got a very short half-life.

Last night I was on the Dalmore, tonight it's the Black Bottle. As a provider of services to the marine leisure sector, I just tend to drink the whisky I'm paid in, unless it's an Islay malt in which case I have a contact who operates a fast exchange service. I don't let the TCP pass my lips thank you.

Glenlivet I suppose, seeing as how i'm part of a team that makes it.

My favourite, I think?

I favour a speyside malt. I find the island whiskies a bit too highly flavoured for my liking.

Speysides also tend to be sweeter and lighter than the Islay malts.

Not specifically, it covers all of the Islay malts.

Yep, that cat piss finish leaves a lot to be desired, but nothing that a Coke mixer can't temper.....

I am not a whisky drinker but was after recommendations for a good one to get my father for fathers day. The wife's grandfather is a whisky drinker and he recommended Glen Moray a single from Aldi. I gave it to my Dad and he was rather surprised at how nice it was, when I told him it was from Aldi he couldn't believe it. Its been in the Mail as one of their top whiskys and won a gold best in class thing as well. Not bad for £15 a bottle. Apparently its one to try if you can pick one up next time you getting your cheap cycle kit.

You'd be lynched in Scotland. At the very least.



Generally speaking, I veer towards the unsubtle.
On a scale of one to whisky, Laphroaig is WHISKY
