I drink Irish whiskey, I'll not be trying any Japanese.

Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
I am an unapologetic whisky bore. A few spelling rules here, please:
Scottish is whisky
Irish and American is whiskey
Bourbon is different to JD which is Tenessee whiskey (and shite IMO, well the run of the mill JD is, paint stripper)
Japanese is whisky
Most scottish whisky is finished in pre used bourbon casks actually, even those that are then moved to another cask (like a port one) a lot of the time. The scottish industry imports a lot of pre used american oak bourbon casks for finishing.
LIxarto - Irish whiskey, very nice, my favourite being Yellow Spot at the moment, lovely stuff if you can get hold of it.
I have a few bottles on the go at the moment:
Lagavulin and Talisker Storm for general quaffing
for more of a treat I have a 21 year old ABerfeldy and 1990 Balblair (cask strength), and also a very special cask strength 24 year old limited cask Glenlivet.
the true water of life indeed.
I was in heathrow recently and they have the most expensive malt ever released by DIageo - a 40 year old Brora at 7 grand a bottle! ther's only 160 available worldwide. The chap in the store said that the week before, a Japanese bloke came in and bought every ottle they had in the airport - all 5!! o doubt they will become a nice investment. But if that was me, the demon on the shoulder would be at me, saying, go on,open it, what does 7 grand whisky taste like???? PRobably a little bit better than a 100 quid one no doubt
I thought the US gov changed to rules on what could be called bourbon to something like 'aged in sherry barrels for at least 7 years' so that JD could be classed and sold as a bourbon.
I may of dreamt it though

I was younger at the time and it has stuck with me
I like JD, but I tried one of the better versions a while ago, which was very, VERY nice indeed. I think it was single barrel.
My lad bought me a bottle of Balblair 1997 for my birthday, must have been about £60 or so, and that is also very, very good, not heavily peated. Recommended, Chilli rating 9/10.
