The World’s best whiskies? Possibly!

by Mark Walker on March 31, 2008

Here is the start of a thread I wanted to do on whisky. I personnaly am not a great whisky fan, as most of what I have tasted was either like perfume or donkey piss. There are, however, some extremely passionate people out there who would disagree, but I couldn’t give 2 shits about what they think.

The categories I will be looking at are;

12 Years and Under,
13 to 20 Years,
21 plus
Vintage
THE WORLD’S BEST
SINGLE MALT WHISKIES?

Glen Garioch 8 Years Old
Oban 14 Years Old Distillers Edition
Talisker 18 years old

Aberfeldy 21 Years Old

Lagavulin Distillers Edition vintage

Below is some feedback from the whisky community (or whisky snobs, as some people would call them) on what flavours they can taste after drinking this horse piss.
“Elegant with fascinating balance between smoke and subtle sweet fruit. Ever changing in the glass and on the palate. Gentle waves of flavour, superb balance and a classic peppery finish. Seamless.”

“Baked orange pudding sprinkled with cinnamon, pomanders and a trace of manila envelope. A silky mouth feel and develops into richer orange marmalade with burnt edges”

“Toffee and rich peat smoke on the nose. The alcohol bite on the palate gives way to rich sweet peat smoke, some sea notes and plenty of peppery spice. Nicely rounded and complete. Some wood, too, suggesting its age. Like chewing honeycomb and smoky bacon at the same time. Long, spicy and peaty finish. Whisky doesn’t get much finer than this.”

“Warm, rich and attractive. Leather, pipe-tobacco, sweet sherry and polished oak on the nose, followed by a good creamy texture and a warming finish. Avery attractive dram.”

rich sweet peat smoke?

Peat is from the ground and this is where the highlanders went to the bathroom many years ago so it looks like I was right on picking up the taste of piss!!
ARE THEY SERIOUS?

Aparently they are!
