Sacrilege. :p

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Well, I wouldn't waste a good single malt on it, but that's what the Bell's or, in my case, Teacher's, is for.

Buffalo Bill's favourite drink was a Stone Fence, (a mug of cider with a shot of rye in it).... Because he's an ancestor I tried it, effing terrible. :(

If it's Teachers you can have a pass ;) It might even be an improvement.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

An ancestor ! ...enquiring minds... ?

I drink Teachers, Bells and Grants with Sprite/7Up.

In my teens I used to like some of my dad's

Teacher's is one of the nicest blends. And nothing wrong with spicing up a bit of ginger wine with a dram.

I ordered some last week....Bombay Bad Boy! the black pot!

As the UK advert used to say (by the guy with a strong Welsh accent) "They're no good for you, but they're bloody gorgeous!!!" LOL!

Not in my book it isn't. Grouse, JW, Chivas, even Grants are superior. Although these days, I tend to stick to malts.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I nearly always drink malts too, Old Pulteney being my favourite. But even tonight I had a blend, a Ballantine's. Perfectly pleasant in a way that Grouse or Bells just doesn't do it for me.

A blend I used to really enjoy but honestly haven't had for almost 20 years would be Black Bottle.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

To drink with soda or (if you must, Bristol) with sweet pop, possibly over ice as a long drink, then I would prefer a "premium blend" from Johnnie Walker or Grouse (the Black Grouse is quite nice). But for a whisky mac I actually think Teacher's goes very well.

Single malts, of course, are a different kettle of fish altogether. To be enjoyed with just a splash of (tap) water at room temperature. Hmmm - I've got a bit of a thirst on, now. My mouth is watering for something suitably medicinal - maybe a dram of a Speyside malt - a Balvenie or a Macallan, or perhaps a Highland Park, or something a little peatier from Lagavulin or Bruichladdich... not sure I've got anything else on the go at the moment.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I don't know that I've ever tried Old Pulteney. I knew there was a distillery in Wick but am not familiar with its product. Thank you for the recommendation!

Remember when I was 17 me and the girlfriend getting hammered on Clan Dew. Evil stuff.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

It's a bit unpatriotic, but my fave blend is probably Jameson's. Malt would be Bowmore, Dalwhinney or occasionally a Laphroaig.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Oh yes, all very nice ones!
