phfff. I mean Pfff.

Nine hundred Million bottles of beer on the wall.
Nine hundred million bottles of beer.

-1

repeat

Time is failing to go faster.

Nine hundred million sheep in the field...............

No that is not working either.

2 AM on Saturday Morning.

Whiskey, CHECK.

24 hours in a day. 60 minutes per hour. 60 Seconds per minute.

So roughly speaking, 22 hours of Saturday plus Sunday plus lets say 12 hours of Monday.

22 + 24+ 12 hours= 58 hours.
*60*60 to get seconds.
Two Hundred and Eight Thousand Eight Hundred seconds to go. Plus or minus 960 seconds.

Why not see how much whiskey you can get through in 58 hours? :D

I prefer whisky myself though. A nice single malt works wonders. I can particularly recommend Fettercairn and Tomintoul. If you can't find those, try Macallen :)

Just don't add coke :)

Tomintoul has a nice wee steep bridge over a small river. You will ground your sports car on it.

I like Talisker. Very smooth. Bells is just whatever they have lying about plus some singles to make it less bad.

What about adding amphetamine sulphate?

Or lysergic acid diethylamide....

:D oh I know Tomintoul well, but never grounded out my motorbike on the humped bridge lol. It was always one of the first roads to be closed when a single special snowflake fell :)

Bells is bad enough on it's own without any extra chemical additives lol - just about the only thing worse is Teachers. Dear deity that stuff is awful.

But if I lie to myself I can taste the single....

Cheers!

Plus or minus blah blah blah.

More Whiskey. I'll be singing in a minute! Just can't hit those high notes..

I suppose I could go off and finesse my gamestyle on the 1.1......
 

ATARI.

ATARI.
Can only drink bourbon, anything else tastes gross. Odd.

Love the smell of whiskey though, just for some reason we don't get on.

Anyway, something about seconds.

If we're talking Scotch here, the correct spelling is "whisky". No "E". :p

And very nice it is too. I visited the (relatively) newly appointed Arran distillery and bought a bottle of their (at the time) 12 y/o. Wish I'd got a couple!

Prepare to be jealous:

I own a third of a barrel of Arran whisky. I bought it with my son and his best mate, and it is currently maturing away - 14 years old, and counting. We intend to bottle it next year. :)

100% with you there on the smokey ones but bourbon, to me, has a weird flavour, hard to take.
Each to their own I suppose.

As with most things, it depends. I enjoy a bourbon now and then, especially some of the single cask ones, rather than a bog standard Jim.

The taste of bourbon is largely because of (US) government rules, that insist that it be matured in a brand new barrel (nearly all oak). I think that rule was introduced just as a labor (hey, if we are speaking American, we must drop those 'u's) protection measure: making sure there was work for coopers, etc. So now that law has an effect on Scotch, because those bourbon barrels get broken down into staves, shipped across the Atlantic, and then used two or three times more to mature Scotch - the taste of which has changed because of the use of those bourbon barrels, rather than the traditional, but much more expensive, sherry barrels.

Barrels waiting to be used at Ardbeg:

Maybe it is an acquired taste for me but Bushmills Malt is what I buy a bottle of when I need that whiskey thing. Has been a while now but the day will come again soon enough.
Lovely stuff.

I find Bushmills one of the gentler whiskeys it slips down deceptively easily. Normally drink Scotch single malts but examples from further afield are always welcome. I received a couple of bourbons for Christmas JB Devil's Cut and Wild Turkey 101. The Devils Cut has grown on me. The Wild Turkey seems to need a good quality ice cube in it.
