Whiskey with RedBull...I hope no-one does this, for the love of god.

Paddy's with ice. That poll is a bit confusing.

i've only recently gotten over my instant gag reflex if i so much as smell whiskey. (teenager + a whiskey drinking race = bad idea)
jd all the way, i'd rather drink whiskey as a shot than savour teh flavour

10 year Bushmills neat, no ice.

I think it's a crime to spoil any whiskey with a mixer (and yes ice is a mixer too).

I'm also very partial to 8 year Wild Turkey.

When I'm out I normally go for Black Bush (or better) and will take ordinary Bushmills otherwise. I'll put up with Jameson but I'm not a fan of either Powers or Paddy.

Also. I find JD rather inspid.

I'm rather partial to JD and coke, but find it a bit harsh to drink straight. Jameson Crested Ten is a bit of alright...

A nice drop of Red Breast or failing that a bottle of Jameson.

gaelic cowboy · 13-04-2004 2:20am

Jameson neat maybe sometime's a dash of water

Explosive_Cornflake · 13-04-2004 2:33am

JD and blackcurrant cuz i'm a pussy

Talisker mixed with Talisker. Don't drink a lot of whisky to be honest (or a lot of anything)

JD is bourbon and while that is whiskey I suppose but it's not in the same league as scotch and I wouldn't even rate it. People drink JD because it's cheap and there isn't much to it.
Bourbon: Wild Turkey
I like Laphroaig - nice peaty flavour.
Green Spot is a good Irish.

I really can't believe someone would put Red Bull in a whiskey; you might as well just pour the whiskey down the toilet.

I hate bourbons and JD etc. They've got a horrible sickly taste that clings to the back of your mouth.

My tipple would have to Bushmills 10 year, then Bushmills balck label, or just plain Bushmills, It is the finest whiskey produced in Ireland. Though Jameson special reserver ain't bad either.

As the question of a mixer, I would have it on ice, but I wouldn't leave the ice melt too much.

Sceptre- I am with you 100%. Talisker is a sublime whiskey. It is the whiskey that I am given as a birthday present or for any other occasion. I do like my Whiskeys, Brandies and Armagnacs, but I love Talisker. Glorious stuff.

I have two favorites, Middleton Very Rare (MVR) which is absolutley lovely but unfortunately will cost you about 100 quid a bottle or 6 quid a shot.
16 year old malt is nice too I think Jemmy make it...I didnt know it was special until I finished the bottle (over the period of a few weeks!)

...oh and I would go for both on their own, maybe water with the malt

growler · 15-04-2004 11:26am

Oban , Talisker, Laphroaig or Lagavulin (sp?) are my favourite scots single malts although also partial to a bit of Bushmills 15 year old,

with a drop of water anything else added to a whiskey destroys the taste, even ice.

I think a glass of Paddy would kill me.

Merrion · 17-04-2004 11:37am

My current favourite is the Bowmore (30yo) but the Talisker distiller's reserve is very close second (and less than half the price)

smiles · 17-04-2004 12:30pm

Southern Comfort & Lime.... mmmmm.

<< Fio >>

simu · 19-04-2004 10:49pm

JD & lime

m4cker · 21-04-2004 4:23pm

without a doubt jameson.
or possibly jd and coke if i feel a bit fruity

The Sweeper · 25-04-2004 12:00pm

Jack Daniels over crushed ice for hot days (and what a surprise that one was)

Glenfiddich 18 year old for cold evenings.

Oh - yes, and on its own.

(Never with water. Lions and tigers drink that, and they're wild.)
