Moriarty Posted February 28, 2001 Share Posted February 28, 2001 The beauty of Scotch is that there is a brand for any discriminating palate. I thoroughly enjoy Laphroiag, but if I want something lighter, Lagavulin is superb or lighter still ... an 18 y.o. Glenlivet. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change." -- Oddball "Crap." -- Moriarty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the resurrection of the 'flag planting' thread, I knew this one wouldn't be far behind... Good to have alt.booze.panzer back! Moriarty, if you're into Laphroaig, try the 10 y/o cask strength! I was surprised at how good so young a whisky can taste, a real treat. Much better than the 'pre-diluted' stuff... Marnix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chupacabra Posted March 2, 2001 Share Posted March 2, 2001 From the London Times this morning: Macallan whisky is teetotal Speaker's brand BY ROLAND WATSON MICHAEL MARTIN came within a whisker of breaking the habit of a lifetime when he helped to choose a whisky to bear the Speaker’s name and coat of arms. The election of Mr Martin, Westminster’s best known teetotaller, to succeed Betty Boothroyd had thrown MPs and the Commons authorities into a flap over whether he would end recent tradition by failing to endorse a malt. His abstinence presented the most obvious stumbling block, leaving some MPs concerned that they would no longer be able to impress their constituents with presents from the Commons gift shop of the Speaker’s special brand of scotch. Unwilling to disappoint, Mr Martin enlisted the help of MPs on the “all-party scotch whisky group” to aid him in the onerous duty, with guidance from David Robertson, a master distiller and nosing expert. The result of the blind tasting of four whiskies, though Mr Martin restricted himself to sniffing sample measures, saw the Macallan 10 Years Old crowned. It will soon go on sale as Mr Martin’s single malt. The Macallan, from Speyside, the area that produced Miss Boothroyd’s chosen tipple, defeated strong challenges from Highland Park of Orkney, the Famous Grouse Vintage Malt 1987 and Bunnahabhain from Islay. The choice plugs a gap in the market which had existed since just before Christmas when the final bottles of Miss Boothroyd’s choice were snapped up by MPs. So if my recommendation was not enough for you, you now have the English legislature as well. The Macallan 10-yr really is very nice. ------------------ Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Macallan 10-yr really is very nice. Amen to that! So are the 12, 15 and 18 y/o (progressively more expensive of course). I haven't had the chance to try the 25 y/o yet though. Or the 40 y/o, but that one will probably remain out of my reach forever (at about US$2000 a bottle ). When I visited The Macallan distillery last year, I saw they also sell a 1920s, 1930s, 1950s and 1960s-style Macallan, attempts to recreate the taste from those periods (the 1940s is apparently inferior, not surprising when you consider the shortages of just about everything during those years). Has anyone here tried one of those 'historical' Macallans? Marnix. [This message has been edited by Marnix (edited 03-02-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark IV Posted March 20, 2001 Share Posted March 20, 2001 So tonight at the local Albertson's (mass food chain) I note they have delved into quality scotch. Among the usual suspects are the "Dew" line of single malts. I have never heard of them and they are suspiciously cheap. There is an Islay Dew, and a Speyside Dew, from a Ewen (or something) distillery in Leith. There is florid but vague prose on the label of each, which is absolutely useless. These gems are $15.99 for 750ml. I don't expect them to win any competitions, but does anyone knowledgeable (i.e., freer with their 16 bucks than me) know whether these are worth the investment? Being conservative, I instead purchased some Dry Sack, some Heineken, and brought them home to meet my old friend Johnnie. Being ecumenical, I have indulged all 3. Obligatory WWII content follows: This investigation has relevance to the simulation of wartime expedients in the production of vital materials under budgetary constraints. DO NOT DRINK THE RESULTS OF THIS STUDY. This is a simulation. Or a reenactment. It's living history. Oral history, in fact.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olle Petersson Posted March 20, 2001 Share Posted March 20, 2001 I take some Islay malt, with a hint of water. Usually Laphroaig (10yrs) or Lagavulin (16yrs), but it may also be Lagavulin distillers edition. How about Champagne after a battle? "In victory you deserve it, in defeat you need it."

Zakalwe Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 For Normandy battles I'd suggest a bottle of cider, preferably from Normandy. Of course, for those with deeper pockets, some decent Calvados will do just fine. Though usually it's Löwenbräu for me... With less limited funds I'd go for Lagavulin.
