ISl, I went to the JD distillery earlier this year it's lynchburg which is a Dry County.

It's IN Lynchburg.*

Boxing you like your whisky ?

Do you like chivas regal and glenmourangie ?

I've had a few bottles of Pappy Van Winkle over the years and it's expensive because they produce so little.
It is delectable though.
Other really good bourbons that I've tried are Black Maple Hill 16-Year-Old & Michter’s 10 Year

Also bought a bottle of this about 15 years ago. I definitely didn't pay the current price !
I did keep the bottle though

Pappy van winkle wtf is that ?

Hey anx, Both alright. I like (blended) Famous grouse,  blended. and 'the' Macallen 25 years old, single malt.

700 quid for that JD

expensive bourbon.
The price is only about 50 dollars but it's impossible to get hold of.
Normally well over 750 quid per bottle

Washed down with some gaviscon

Perth yeah thats west coast isnt it ?

I see the Aussies battered Pakistan again

They done the 3 Litre Jack no 7 ,for 50 Quid in Morrison a few year back Over Xmas

Gent Jack very Nice

I have tried a couple of Other Jacks including the Single barrel which I found a little strong .

wild turkey Is very Smooth as is Buffalo trace

On the JD tour we got to try, Old No. 7 (black label), Gentleman Jack, Single Barrel, Tennessee Honey, and Tennessee Fire. I didn't like any I'm not a JD fan, just wanted to see the place

Also Daughter wanted JD souvenios, T shirts, caps JD glasses, (Not much different than those used in pubs) usual kind of sh**.

Case,3 Litres for £50, Wish I had known My daughter and her friends love the stuff, spoilt with coke of course.

Anyone know the derivation of whiskey on the rocks?,

Boxing - ok I'll bite. The rocks are blocks of ice, the bit about cold pebbles on the beach is bo77ocks.  Pause for alternatives......

i like a drop of whisky ,, nothing fancy usually under 25 quid ..irish or singlemalt.. plus side you aint in and out the toilet all night.. but the smooth stuff is dangerous... too easy to drink... not sure of most peoples intake , but I easily do 3/4 of a bottle and half fall over going for a P

On a tour once a Scottish connoisseur explained that before fridges purists would take a river washed stone fed from the ice cap mountains and put it in the glass to bring the temperature down, hence 'on the rocks'. I believed it, quite plausable.

He also said ice in Whiskey is the ultimate sacrilege, instead put a small drop of the best water (filtered tap in my case) you have. He was spot on. imho

tap water nae good

far too fussy lads .. London tap water is lovely

Not even double filtered??
