I like Jamesons. Bushmills is nice too. Paddys tastes like Sellotape .

Easily pleased!

Fleawuss · 09-10-2015 8:40pm

The nicest whisky is the one without the e.

empacher · 09-10-2015 8:43pm

im quite partial to redbreast 12 year old myself, so damn smooth

Azza89 · 09-10-2015 8:45pm

Redbreast 21 year old. Just so much going on flavour wise

jimgoose · 09-10-2015 8:46pm

I quite like the American rye stuff. I'm partial to an odd shot or two of Jim Beam, but I am rather likely to end up on the roof playing the banjo with no trousers on at 4am.

Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt 17 year old has been voted the world's best blended whiskey, never tried it, but going by Nikka's other whiskies I'm sure it is. Nikka's Coffee Grain and Nikka From The Barrel are amazing, and not too expensive, I'd highly recommend them. My personal favourite ever is the Suntory Hibiki 17 year old, it's a blend that's been part matured in Japanese plum liquer casks which gives it a wonderful sweetness. For some very, very relaxing times indeed.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 09-10-2015 8:48pm

Whiskey, pfft.
All about buckfast and a ditch.

Links234 · 09-10-2015 8:57pm

The Suntory Yamazaki Sherry Cask Single Malt is meant to be absolutely incredible too, I'd love to try it at some point.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 09-10-2015 8:59pm

I have never drank whiskey in my life, it smells like Christmas.

Duff · 09-10-2015 8:59pm

Jameson Signature Reserve is delicious. Last time I drank it though, I got so scuttered that I swallowed a whiskey stone.

jaja321 · 09-10-2015 9:01pm

Always get my dad redbreast at Christmas ... He loves it. Don't know anything about it myself.

wendell borton · 09-10-2015 9:02pm

They all taste like fire to me.

Alexis Sanchez · 09-10-2015 9:03pm

Jack Daniels. It's so smooth and sweet you can drink it raw. It doesn't really give me a hangover either.

The gf brought me back a bottle of signature reserve from holidays over the summer,I've been holding it back for a special occasion!

I developed a liking for Teachers over the summer,quite a nice drink.

Currently sipping on a chivas 18 year old.

I know lots of people look down on the blended scotches but I like it a lot.

Irish wise yellow spot is a great thing to sup and contemplate life.

jos28 · 09-10-2015 9:05pm

The whiskey drinkers in this house like Teelings Single Malt.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 09-10-2015 9:05pm

I'd go for a Scotch over an Irish.

I've heard nothing but praise for it but have yet to get myself a dram.

First Up · 09-10-2015 9:14pm

Laphroaig (an Islay malt) is lovely if you like a peaty style. Writers Tears is very popular among cognocenti (and priced accordingly.)

Dr. Mantis Toboggan · 09-10-2015 9:16pm

Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Very tasty.

Buckfast? You posh bastard must be made of money.
Noblemans is well under half the price

Laphroaig, no question about it

just going to say that, feels just like drinking alcoholic water straight from the bog.

yummmm

Jack Daniels single Barrel. Tasty

Always thought that smelled like Hospital disinfectant. not for me

seanin4711 · 09-10-2015 9:24pm

12 yo single malt.
usually Scottish!

magentis · 09-10-2015 9:24pm

Midleton rare....mmmmmmm.

Links234 · 09-10-2015 9:25pm

Oh by the way, the Suntory Hibiki 17 is the very whiskey in Lost in Translation, in case you ever wanted to taste what Bill Murray's character was promoting. It's really, really good.

Little bit of film history for you, but the reason they went with Suntory in the movie was that Sofia Coppola's father, Francis Ford Coppola did ads for Suntory with Akira Kurosawa back in the 80's

The_Valeyard · 09-10-2015 9:34pm

I like Middleton very rare

Or Jameson Created Ten

c_man · 09-10-2015 9:41pm

Bushmills. Always have a bottle in the house. I get Jameson in for the hot whiskey season. Oh speaking of which, I have to go!

The_Valeyard · 09-10-2015 9:50pm

I also agree with a couple of previous posters, Paddys Whiskey tastes like something You would clean a hospital with.

Teeling's simply one of the nicest Irish I've had the pleasure of sipping

Most Powers, yes.

John's Lane is a fantastic whiskey. Jim Murray spoke very highly of it in the whiskey bible a year or two ago.

Best Whiskey I've had recently is Green Spot Bordeaux wine cask finish.

Notable mentions to Yellow spot, regular Green Spot, Tullamore Dew Phoenix and Knappogue Castle.

NachoBusiness · 09-10-2015 10:04pm

John Daniels.

He may be Jack to your son, but when you've known him as long as I have.

dmc17 · 09-10-2015 10:12pm

Midleton Green Spot

boobar · 09-10-2015 10:17pm

Middleton...

Mrs treated me to a bottle of this a few years ago...

Superb taste...but not cheap.

HamsterFace · 09-10-2015 10:20pm

Not much of a whiskey drinker but had a bottle of Tullamore Dew a while ago and it was lovely for entry level stuff

I went off the booze about 12 years ago, but I sampled some Redbreast on a night out recently & found it an incredibly smooth & tasty tipple.

donegaLroad · 09-10-2015 10:44pm

Glenfiddich single malt is really nice

thee glitz · 09-10-2015 10:45pm

I quite like Glenmorangie.

Hibiki is super, the 12 is my favourite whiskey. Never tried the 17 (never found it available).

gandalf · 09-10-2015 10:50pm

If I was only limited to one Whiskey choice then it would have to be Redbreast 21 yr old. Heaven in a bottle!

thee glitz · 09-10-2015 10:52pm

I got a present of some stuff from Schlitz (Hessen) many years ago and it was mighty.

Xenophile · 09-10-2015 10:58pm

Is Bourbon the same as Whiskey? if so Jim Beam!
