The worlds worst whiskies

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I enjoy Irish and Scotch whiskeys. I have a rather nice assortment of Bottles at home. My favorites that I have are:

50 Year Old Johnnie Walker Blue Label (The Best in my opinion, but rather expensive, cost me 100 Dollars for my bottle)
21 Year Old Bushmills
Jamesons
Middleton Rare
Tullamore Dew
Glenmorangie
Glenfiddich

I rather enjoy drinking Whiskey when I am at home. It is not a drink that I get drunk off of though, but rather sip it and enjoy. My favorite is the Johnnie Walker Blue Label.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label — Johnnie Walker's ultimate blend. Every bottle is serial numbered and sold in a silk-lined box, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Although no age is declared, it is believed many of the whiskies blended are aged for 50 to 60 years.

i find it odd they're not aged given it's such a fine Whiskey

makes for damn good nose art too!

When you buy the bottle it tells you about the process what blends are in it. Mine actually has a blend from 1898 in it. The rest of the blends were aprox. 50 years old.

It really is a great whiskey to drink though. Very smooth with a nice smoked hint to it. Very very fine whiskey. I rarely open it, and when I do it is for special occasions.

When I was in London back in March, I bought a bottle of "Balblair" 16 yo single malt scotch whiskey.

Now that was great!!!! Excellent taste and "kick".

Ive also noticed in the liquor store, that theres a few brands of Kentucky or Tennesse whiskey that is distilled according to the old "frontier" recipies (moonshine?).

I need to buy a bottle of that and see what that tastes like.

Deradler, your whiskey list is impressive.

Thankyou.

I really enjoy whiskey. To me it is for enjoyment though and not for getting drunk. I would never use a fine whiskey to get drunk off of. I enjoy sitting on my porch with a nice Blue Lable or Bushmills and smoke a cigar and just watch the sunset kind of think you know.

I am not a big fan of Jack Daniels though. I dont mind it with coke but it is not an enjoyable drink for me. I also dont like Jim Beam. I prefer Irish or Scotch whiskey.

With my expensive bottles like my Johnnie Walker Blue Lable I have to keep good discipline with it because it really is a great fine whiskey and I dont want to waste it, but rather savor it.

I'd agree it is much better to savour a good whiskey that to drink it as if it was shot.

For me, the best way to enjoy these fine whiskies (and others) is to have small shots of them. Not downed in one gulp. Almost like sipping it.

Jack Daniels has a premium brand now. "Gentleman Jack" is actually quite good.

Gentleman Jack

I'm getting inspired now to build a bar in my garage and stock it with some fine whiskies from the US, Canada, UK and Ireland. If I ever do that and any of you come into town for the Chino airshow, I'll invite you over.

In the blue prints for the Timber Home that me and my wife wish to build in Alaska there is a bar built into the house and I am going to stock it with the whiskies that I have now (well some of the bottles might be empty by then and have to be replaced) and many other kinds as well as other drinks and several wine racks.

I will have to go to the shoppette on post tomorrow and see if they have the Gentlemens Jack so I can try it. Even if I dont like the drink I keep some stocked in the house such as Tequila, Jack Daniels and so forth just for my bar and for my guests and for mixing. I do like using Jack Daniels to cook.

Anything in the grocery store's generic plain wrap label liquor is for puking only!

Knob Creek. My favorite. Sippin' whiskey. Bookers is good too. That must be the smoothest 127proof anything that I have ever drank.

[cheddar cheese]

Knob Creek, the affectionate name give to lanc's arse...

I loke a good whiskey...Normally just have whatever my Dads having, so that'll be Teachers or Bell normally. Got a bottle of Famous Grouse for my birthday though

[syscom3]

I dont think I can ever go into the liquor store and not laugh when I see a Knobb Creek bottle.

The Famous Grouse looks to be a good whiskey.

[cheddar cheese]

Its pretty good I suppose - but I have trouble telling the differences between drinks...Most wines taste the same to me, as do most beers and lagers, and its the same with Whiskey's...

[Matt308]

You haven't had good whiskey if you think they all taste the same.

I used to think the same thing about Tekillya. But while in the Detroit airport, they had a Cuervo Tequilaria. So dubiously, I went it. I asked for a Dos Equis and the best tequila they had for a tequila hater. $35 later, I had 1 pint and 1 shot in a brandy glass of Cuervo La Familia. One of the best liquors I have ever had. When I got home I checked on the price of a fifth. $135. To rich for my blood. If I had known that my round was gonna cost $35 I probably would never have tried it. Glad I did though.

It isn't that good there are lots that are better but not as famous...
