A new, sober, thread about single malt scotch whisky thread.

It's ok Doom, I have a bottle of Johnny Red I give to guests who don't understand anything about scotch and
ask for "ice"

 

[Necromunchkin]

No ice, just derisive laughter and possibly a threat of physical violence.

I actually refuse to let my guests put ice in anything that is aged more than 10 years

This is true. She wouldn't let me put ice in my vagina. Or hers!

 

[Demilich]

But the vagina of a young child would be an acceptable recepticle?

 

[Necromunchkin]

Well, like Doomcifer said, for something that good, a touch of spring water to "open it up" but we don't want to dilute... *cough*

Seriously though, I just recently learned the whole ice thing. Well about a year ago I guess because the first scotch of this season was a few months ago (I rarely drink whisky during the summer and spring), and I could barely finish it because I automatically put a damn ice cube in it. I'm not as cool as I'd like to think I might someday be. :zombie:

BLASHEMY!

It aides development, somehow.

just a drop will do. and its gotta be spring water, or w/e...NOT tap water. taste it neat, then do the drop method...usually opens up a lot of toffee flavors. there is a chemical reason for the "opening up" bit. swish around and take in the nose...aah fuck.

As long as I know the proper etiquette next time I viset Karen's place

 

[Dead_Lioness]

.....you should technically also taste scotch by swirling small sip all over your mouth and teeth until tingles.
It's really amazing how this also opens up the flavour and after taste (and fine scotch is mostly about the after taste)



Cara: Ice no, but I did let you put other things.... ahem

It's ok Adrian... most people don't know about ice, just as most people
think "ALL WINE NEEDS TO AGE" - it's just a common mistake.
At least you know now!

 

[Necromunchkin]

And knowing is half the battle...

 

[Demilich]

We just sampled some new wines last week at home and they were very nice and fruity without the strong, pungent flavour of a longer aged wine... good stuff.

i approve of the last few dozen posts

Karen just stormed in ... made us all look like rookies ... and left

 

[Dead_Lioness]

Actually, I'm nuts.
I made you all look normal.

 

[Necromunchkin]

It would take more than that... it's not that I don't try to cultivate such an excellent collection, I just can't keep it stocked long enough to do so heh heh

 

[Krilons Resa]

^ i hear that.
