Whisky - Cold weather companion

[Kevoffthetee]

I left for work this morning and for the first time I thought "bloody hell its nippy", cue the response "it's time for a bottle"

My first bottle this year is a bottle of Aberlour 10yo Speyside single malt. Obviously I've had to have a sip now the kids are in bed and its canny at £20 a bottle (morrisons claim reduced from £32)

I normally like an irish whiskey as I find them smooth after I decided Islay whisky's are just too smokey and peaty for me.

Does anyone else have any recommendations based on their liqueur cabinet. Please no limited edition, footballer wage category whisky's

sounds like a call for Mr @jayonabike

Laphroaig. Anything else is lightweight.

Laphroaig, Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Talisker.

I'm going to get in fairly early this time and say what you need is a good brandy, not that awful whisky stuff.

 

[Drago]

Brandy? Next thing you'll be recommending gin!

 

[Peteaud]

I will get shot down and told its not whiskey, but...

Jim Beam.

Lagavulin is the best Islay for me, but I like Talisker, Oban, Laphroaig. Ardbeg is just a touch too brine-like for my pallete. If not a peaty smoky one i'd try Dalwhinnie, a fine dram.

Indeed, a person of good taste and refinement always appreciates a good gin.

Make that Jim Beam red stag, even far more removed from whisky, but I can't resist it's cherry syrup medicinal taste on the rocks!

Another option as fitted to my Woodrup:

I do like a bourbon (woodford reserve), as I do a brandy (metaxa 7 star) and I'll be adding those in due course.

That's "our" whisky since my wife & I went on the distillery tour and tasting. The special edition ones are great, you can really taste the sea.
