Scotch whisky protected against 'inferior' copies
Sandra:
Philistines :o
If any of you get the chance to try a 12 year old single malt called Inchgower I am sure that you will be converted.
Unfortunately I havent been able to find a bottle for about 10 years but I can still get the 14 year old which I dont like :cry:
I can only assume its bottled in a different place as youd expect it to be even better being 2 years older.
The best one I can find at a reasonable price now is Highland Park, a single malt from Orkney.
GillE:
Sorry, Sandra - I just don't have a taste for it, rather like you don't have a taste for asparagus :dunno: . However, I will concede that whisky & ginger flavoured ice cream is delicious served with hot Creole bread pudding :) .
Sandra:
Ah but thats one of the green things I do like Gill, asparagus and avacado are the only ones I can think of at the moment :)
I think its the plain boring and cheap everyday veg that I cant stand.
Saying you dont like whisky is like saying you dont like cheese.
There are so many varieties there must be one you like.
I cant stand the peaty Islay single malts which many people adore.
On one occassion a friend came round with a bottle of Glenlivet, I said I didnt like that one but had a taste and it was very nice. I was confused as I know I had drunk it before and not liked it. I bought a bottle soon afterwards and I didnt like it :dunno:
I couldnt understand it until I looked in a little book I had been given once about Scotlands single malt whiskys. It rated the various whiskys buy peatiness, colour and another varuiable which I cant remember now and unfortunately I havent been able to find that book for years.
Anyway when reading the page about Glenlivet it appears that they use 2 different bottlers even though they start off in the same distillery.
The water that they dilute the original full strength whisky with comes from different areas for both the bottlers, which affects the taste.
The description for peatiness for the one I liked was rated as 1 and the one I didnt like was rated as 4.
The trouble is I cant remember which one it was that I liked now :(
GillE:
Woohoo!!!! :yeaah:
Finally!!!
There's a vegetable Sandra does like.
I have to say, though, that the delights of whisky elude me altogether. There were quite a few attempts to suborn me to whisky when I was in the air force, including Irish whiskeys such as Jameson and Black Bush. All to no avail; I'd rather have a Southern Comfort instead. I wouldn't say no to a glass of armagnac, though :) .

You missed out GREEN Gill :)
I qute like butternut squash, tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic and corn on the cob, not keen on corn stripped from the cob though for some reason.
Nothing beats a nice juicy rare fillet steak for taste though ;D
