The Brisky Whiskey Thread - Show Us Your Whiskey!

[FUBAR]

An uncle sent me a picture to make me jealous of what he had just got today: 

 

 

 

So several minutes later I sent my picture response:  :cocktail:

 

That is how my current table top collection stands. All are unopened as I don't ever open the last bottle of something (just a me thing) and all bar the Millennium cask I have another one or so about. The red label is more of a novelty thing as it's a 4.5L bottle and it was on offer at €42 or something silly so I got it more of a something to palm off on people who don't appreciate whiskey (so they are automatically relegated to scotch). Bells is just a bottle I was given last Christmas and can be my doomsday preppers style bottle for the apocalypse.


I remember from before that there were some pretty posh collections floating about on this forum, so let's see what we are all holding / enjoying in 2016?

Nice collection... Arran single malt for me but need a restock after recent events...

[samuir1974]

Nice little collection there..... i'll try and post up the current bottles i'm working through later - both gifts too.

 

This thread is potentially very dangerous..... we find out how shocking Alan-R36's whickey habit is!!!

Yep - I like the Founders Reserve malt...   which is a good job given how much of it I have...   ;-)

Remember this is a Brisky whiskey thread, not a Brisky whisky thread.

In light of which, I have nothing to declare.

I currently only have 2 bottles of Whisky left A cheeky Aberlour and a sporty Glenfiddich  (both cask strength! )

[ColinD]

I boxed ours up the other day before niece and nephew came around. Quite scary how small but heavy the box was. I'll have to go and find it now, SWMBO moved it :S... what's that corporate risk thing... not all execs can fly in the same plane... should of exercised that on malts in boxes...

 

Your Bushmills is our Macallen, interspersed with islays and obscures like cardhu, edradour.

cheeky line on malt risk

[UnderTheRadars]

Currently have open Aberlour 12 & 15yo, Cardhu Gold, Glennfiddich 18yo, Glenlivet Founders and a couple of others I can't remember.

I'm not a big drinker, these ill last some time, we do like our Speyside's

[MidWalesVRS]

Just finished a bottle of Lagavulin.. cracking stuff.

Do enjoy a nice bottle of whiskey.. which reminds me - as I'm still technically recovering from the flu - I might be able to sneak another past the wife for 'medicinal purposes'.

If it is Whiskey i am buying it will be Jim Bean Rye or Wild Turkey.

Never really bought or drank Irish Whiskey as there are so many Scotch Whisky's to choose from.

[Thisday]

My personal fav is Cardu Gold Reserve

Man was talking about WHISKEY, which in terms of the real "Crature" is Not WHISKY.

[FUBAR]

One that didn't appear in first pic that is on the go as we read/type.

It is true that the later counterfeit stuff will never be able to spell it correctly for copyright reasons, but they have been having a go at it for so long now that there are some decent tipples out there too. :p

Pendryn Welsh whisky is nice to have. I don't have a collection but worth a mention.

That's actually a brand I have heard of but never come across in person. It shall be added to my mental list on your recommendation. 

[Paul007]

Laphroaig here.

You get it WRONG. WHISKY (AKA uisge beatha = "water of life") is something coming out of Scotland.

Come on now, you know how easy it is for me to throw back the Irish Gaelic spelling uisce beatha. Uisce comes from the Old Irish for ‘water’ and beatha from bethad, meaning ‘of life’ :p Then that we produced 'whisky' before shortbreadland (167 years ahead) and only added the 'e' 250 odd years later as a marketing ploy to create a differential for export to not be confused with the inferior but geographically close stuff across the water.

Glenrothes is very nice too. I found Pendryn to be a little on the bland side.

There are several versions now.I stopped off in the distillery in Saturday and saw at least 5 or 6 different types.
