Scotch is Irish Whiskey, made in Scotland (it was the Irish monks who invented it, and they shared the secret with their Scottish brethren!) And we are all Celts!

I'll be looking for you! :thumbup: I'm really looking forward to the trip to Lake George! So glad SpyRyd talked me into it (it took him about eight seconds!)

I've always been sure they only made Glenfiddich to feed to the English as revenge for Culloden! It's dreadful stuff - I wouldn't touch it! There's much, much better to be had and no need to spend $9,000 to get it.

Oh and two thing you must never put in whisky... ice and an 'e'!

So what would you recommend? Ice and whisky don't mix. Neither does water and whisky.

[Bob Denman]

There's an easy answer to that one; more whiskey!! :2thumbs:

If you'd like a highland, un-pleated malt, then you'd have to go a long way to beat the Macallan, but if you prefer a fuller flavoured, salty, peaty nip, then Islay is the place to go! Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Bowmoreand Bunnahabhain are widely available, but Caol Ila or Finlaggan are worth looking for. All have their multi-thousand pound 'rare' editions, but the various cask strength, high street versions are fine by me :-)

As regards 'mixers', the only mixer is a little cool, not cold, water. This is fine if you have cast strength 55-80% alcohol by volume whiskies, as it allows the flavour out without masking it. Though, of course, most whisky in high street stores is already watered down to 40% anyway! For those who want a longer drink, you can follow Winston Churchill's example of a whisky and water, but for God's sake stick to a blend if you're going to do that... Famous Grouse counts both the Macallan and Highland Park amongst its ingredients and mixed with water it's rather refreshing! If you really must have ice, can I suggest that there are plenty of whiskey varieties with an 'e' that you might prefer ;-)
