Zaad Posted December 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 All, Thanks for the recommendations I have 11 bottles on my list and can't wait to go back to the liquor shop to search for some of them I know what my Christmas presents will be. Sukhumvit, The problem is that I don't exactly know what the differences (in taste) are between Irish, Scotish, blended, malt.. Both Chivas and Johnny W. are Scotish (blended) and that's what I like. But I'm definitely open to try others as mentioned here, especially Makers Mark, Glenmorangie, Daniels, Glen Livet, Beam and Jamesons.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torneyboy Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Hi Zaad Chivas Regel is expensive...here let alone LOS Glen fiddock..i think is the spelling...not 100% sure also exp..but worth it if make it last more than one night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaad Posted December 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Chivas is 900+ Baht a bottle (0.75l) but I love it. Do you mean Glenfiddich which has been recommended in an earlier post by BangkokButcher? If so, then I'll move it up on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lazyphil Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 In my Postman days (never actually went postal but close ) I'd get money and gifts at xmas from my customers--one being a bottle of Scotch from a Jock--'Isle of Jura' --I never did see this in shops but it must be sold somewhere??

Torneyboy Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Yes thats it. Those two are among the best there is....imo and from my 14 years in the hospitality game. Btw..you drink it neat? or at least on the rocks? Have served people chivas and dry ginger ale or coke etc. The guys that are into it drink it neat in a brandy balloon.

Zaad Posted December 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Btw..you drink it neat? or at least on the rocks? I usually don't bother to add ice. I drink it neat or dry or whatever it's called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torneyboy Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Hi Zaad Neat...no ice or coke .....straight up is another way of ordering it....to strong for me that way. Better of with blue eagle and diet coke or Jim beam...hard to get up north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to second this as its the one with the most peaty flavour and really makes other brands taste second rate. There is a big difference between blended and malt and also between different malts. I cannot stand the taste of Glenfidich as it tastes like creosote to me, also some blened ones such as bells taste very crude. I dont think American rye drinks should be called whiskey at all and certainly not the muck called thai whiskey.There is a bottle in a glass case at heathrow airport in the world of Whiskey shop, a snip at 24 thousand pounds!! Only a few were made I think about 1930. It was bought at auction for about 20,000 and they are selling it on, cannot remember the distillery-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
