Favorite Whisky

[rhett7660]

I dont mind jameson+pickle back. My sister in Law is a recovering bartender (laf) and she turned me on to these a few years back. I thought they would be kinda gross but she is quite a talented mixologist, so I picked up a refill of a fav pickle and a smal bottle of Jameson, reserved the brine and to my surprise ... theyre not bad. Not bad at all. I dont think Id order one but the combination of the two is not exactly what I had expected and was interesting and yes, enjoyable.

I mean I do like pickles and pickling and whisky, so its not unsurprising that I enjoyed it.

Oh I love pickles... really like Jameson... but man... It might have to do with, I don't like doing shots anymore... lol 🙂😳

The color is lovely!

It is and it's darker than this Auchie I have, which is a stunning Lowland sherry bomb too

I try to not taste SV’s sherried whiskies anymore. They all taste alike. So much cask, so little spirit!

Who - or what - is SV, if I may be so bold as to ask?

Signatory Vintage. It’s inscribed on the bottle.

Signatory Vintage - as per the bottlings above

Ah, okay, thank you for the explanation; this was an acronym that I wasn't aware of.

Whiskybase usually uses SV for their bottlings too 🙂

Whiskybase suggests that this is the second worst whisky in the world. However, it is surprisingly drinkable if you can handle the taste of cheap perfume.

Been sipping Connemara and Lagavulin 16 year. My stomach can't handle beer anymore so I have to settle for sipping a little bit of this stuff now and then. Love the peated smoky flavor...

If you like Laphroaig’s peat, I recommend the peated expressions by Kilchoman, they have a quite ashy profile without being annoying to sip.

I've had quite a lovely weekend with a 1946 Linkwood. 🤤
